Abstract: A method includes, in response to initiating a shooting mode of a camera application on an electronic device, collecting sensor information comprising at least one of: motion data of the electronic device, position data of the electronic device, and image data captured by one or more imaging sensors of the electronic device, wherein the shooting mode represents at least one of: a video record mode and an image capture mode. The method also includes determining, using a trained machine learning model, whether a user intention is to record video or capture an image based on features extracted from the sensor information. The method further includes recording video regardless of the shooting mode in response to determining that the user intention is to record video or capturing the image regardless of the shooting mode in response to determining that the user intention is to capture the image.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method to allow multiple users to collaborate on tasks and interact in a shared space session within a network in real-time; using a media application to manage media-layers. Each media-layer serves as a container for multimedia programs or plug-ins. The invention allows which media-layer to display via organization metaphors and filtering criteria. When multiple users are logged into the same shared space, each user can invoke and observe modifications to media-layers with the browser based or client based application. All events are synchronized among all users in that shared space, where the system is a communication conduit. The media-layers in the shared space maintains spatial and temporal correlation by a media application stage manager tool and described as a collection file descriptor such as an XML file. The ability to invoke events that affect media-layers can be supported in a synched or non synched mode on demand.
