Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product optimize automatic backup of locally stored media content such as videos and images by identifying and locally caching low quality content rather than automatically backing up to reduce network storage. Image capturing device(s) of the electronic device generates media content of at least one of images and videos. A controller of the electronic device receives the media content from the image capturing device(s). The controller determines a quality value of the media content and stores the media content in a cache data structure in memory. The controller stores, in a digital camera image data structure in the memory, media content having a quality value that is greater than or equal to a minimum quality threshold level. The controller uploads, via a communication network to a network storage service, the portion of the media content stored in the digital camera image data structure.

The method includes associating a virtual interface with a location of the secondary segment in the video image, the virtual interface presenting at least one feature that can be selected via one of air gestures and screen touches during presentation of the primary segment of the video image preview. A preview of the delineated segments of the video image presents at least the primary segment and the virtual interface visible within the display device.

Abstract: An electronic device, a method, and a computer program product provides freeze frame videos in place of a live video feed to a video communication session. A processor of the electronic device determines that a local participant is connected via the electronic device to an ongoing video communication session with second participants having corresponding second participant devices. The processor captures, via an image capturing device, local video encompassing the local participant. The processor determines a video segment of the local video to identify as a freeze frame video. The processor presents the freeze frame video to the video communication session in response to a trigger condition that pauses a presentation of live video feed of the local participant to the video communication session. The processor loops the presentation of the freeze frame video until an expiration of a threshold maximum time established for presenting the freeze frame video.

Abstract: An electronic device, method and computer program product enable screen capture and playback of an extendable display provided by a flexible display coupled across a front side of a flexible display support structure that moves relative to a first housing. A remaining portion of the flexible display either scrolls up or rolls onto a backside of the base housing. A controller of the electronic device determines dimensions of a front display based on data from a position sensor. The controller presents visual content on the flexible display. In response to a trigger to screen record the visual content, the controller records in media file(s) frame(s) of the front display along with position data of the flexible display support structure. For playback, the controller activates the translation mechanism to match the position data and presents the frame(s) on corresponding portions of the flexible display from which the frame(s) was captured.

Abstract: A monitoring system incorporates, and a method and a computer program product provide image projection of content of subjective interest to a person, responsive to a detected mood of the person. A controller of the monitoring system receives image stream(s) from a camera system, including a first image stream encompassing a face of a person. The controller compares facial expressions within the first image stream with facial expression trigger(s) in a visual object library. In response to determining that the first image stream includes facial expression trigger(s) among the visual object library, the controller determines one or more objects in the visual object library having an associated interest value, in a preference tracking data structure, above a threshold soothing value corresponding to the person. The controller triggers an image projector to present the object(s) within the field of view of the person to respond to the facial expression trigger.
