Abstract: The present disclosure provides a user interface for a digital camera such as a digital camera built into a smartphone or other multipurpose portable electronic device. The user interface simultaneously displays an electronic viewfinder image and at least one other image such as a previously captured image. The previously captured image is located within the electronic viewfinder image. Designated input causes the previously captured image to be enlarged from an initial size to an enlarged size.

Abstract: A camera device with a dynamic touch screen shutter, and method therefor, are provided. The camera device comprises: a sensor for providing an electronic signal corresponding to an image; a touchscreen having a region for displaying the image and receiving touch input, the region having at least one subregion; and a processor enabled to: display the image in the region; execute a shutter command to store the image in a memory when the touch input is received in the region but not in the at least one subregion when the at least one subregion contains at least one of an icon and a graphical control, the graphical control for controlling the camera device; change displaying of at least one of the icon and the graphical control; and, in response, dynamically change a position of the at least one subregion within the region.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, at an electronic device having a display and means for receiving user input, said method comprises, in response to receiving user input indicative of an operation in relation to a selected item, displaying an undo option selectable by a user of said device to undo the operation in relation to the selected item, wherein the undo option is displayed for a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, at an electronic device having a display and means for receiving user input, said method comprises: displaying on the display a menu; and where a selected first item is associated with a second item, said menu is displayed with one of the first and the second item as a menu option and a number of menu functions associated with the other of the first and second item, and when input is received to select the one of the first and second item in the menu, the menu is displayed with a number of menu functions associated with the one of the first and the second item and at least one of: the other of the first and second item; and another item, associated with the first item, as a menu option.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprising, at an electronic device having a display and means for receiving user input, said method comprises: displaying on the display, while maintaining at least a portion of the graphical user interface on the display, a menu containing one or more functions selectable by the user; and further comprising, altering at least a portion of the graphical user interface on the display so as to reduce the obscuration of the graphical user interface by the menu.
