  • Patent number: 10275856
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving at least two images captured by one or more cameras, wherein a first image of the at least two images has a subject and a second image of the at least two images comprises a perspective of the geographic location that is different than the first image; identifying an object that is common to the at least two images; computing a difference in perspective between the images that is based on a difference in size and shape between the object in the first image and the object in the second image; generating, based on the difference in perspective, an animation of a transition from the first image to the second image, wherein the animation comprises both the first image and the second image, and wherein the animation adds a modified version of the subject to the second image.

  • Publication number: 20160274776
    Abstract: A method and system for modifying, based on a theme, a look and feel of a graphical user interface (GUI) generated for a first application without comparably modifying a look and feel of a GUI generated for another application. The GUIs for both the first and second applications include corresponding components that are customizable. The components include icons, fonts, colors, images, sounds, and so forth. The system displays a theming overlay over the first application. The system receives an instruction from a user via the theming overlay to apply a theme to the first application. The system applies the theme to the first application and not the second application. Accordingly, a GUI element of the theme is applied to the customizable component of the first application but not the customizable component of the second application.

  • Publication number: 20160110054
    Abstract: A method and system for enabling a user to customize a theme for modifying a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI comprises components that are customizable. These include icons, fonts, colors, images, etc. Themes comprise GUI elements, and a GUI element of a theme is associated with a component of a GUI. GUI elements comprise icons, colors, wallpapers, notification sounds, ringtones, etc., which are applied to components of a GUI when a theme is applied to the GUI. The system generates a theme preview for a theme, which comprises a representation of the theme applied to components of a GUI. A user can customize a theme by selecting, via an interface generated by the system, a component of a GUI, and identifying an alternate GUI element to be associated with the component in the theme.
