  • Patent number: 10049431
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) groups a plurality of images. The UE displays a first image among the plurality of images, determines an object of interest within the first image and a desired level of zoom, and determines to lock onto the object of interest in association with one or more transitions between the plurality of images. The UE determines to transition to a second image among the plurality of images, and detects, based on the lock determination, the object of interest within the second image. The UE displays the second image by zooming-in upon the object of interest at a level of zoom that corresponds to the desired level of zoom.

  • Publication number: 20140267698
    Abstract: A method for room design includes photographing a room with a camera to generate a digital photograph. One or more objects are digitally cleared from the digital photograph to generate a digitally cleared photograph. A wire frame outline of an object is drawn in the digitally cleared photograph. A viewfinder of the camera is opened with the wire frame outline superimposed in the viewfinder. A new object substantially conforming to the dimensions of the wire frame outline is photographed. The method includes populating the digitally cleared photograph with the new object.
