  • Patent number: 10489873
    Abstract: A wireless communication device comprises position determining system, a digital imaging system and a photograph customization system coupled to the position locating system and the digital imaging system. The position determining system is configured to provide information indicating a current position of the wireless communication device. The digital imaging system is configured to create digitally rendered images of visual content acquired thereby. The visual content is displayed on an image viewing structure of the digital imaging device while being acquired. The photograph customization system is configured to use the current location of the digital imaging device for providing one or more embeddable content ages and to display information from at least one of the one or more embeddable content images on an image viewing structure of the digital imaging device while the visual content being acquired by the digital imaging system is being displayed on the image viewing structure.

  • Publication number: 20190087926
    Abstract: A method implemented by a smartphone including a digital imaging device having an image viewing structure may include receiving designation of a user-selected embeddable content image filter, displaying the user-selected embeddable content image filter on the image viewing structure in combination with visual image content captured in real-time by the digital imaging device within a field of view at a current location, the user-selected embeddable content image filter maintained at a static position within an area of the image viewing structure independent of the visual image content captured in real-time by the digital imaging device, and merging the user-selected embeddable content image filter displayed as a foreground mask with the visual image content captured in real-time by the digital imaging device as background.
