  • Patent number: 10372319
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for enabling scrubbing of a media file. Swiping gestures of varying speeds and directions may applied to a touch screen display such that a playhead indicating a selected frame of a media file moves at speeds relative to the swiping gesture, and in a direction of the swiping gesture. When the swiping gesture falls below a threshold speed, fine control in frame-by-frame increments is enabled. A user may therefore select a precisely desired frame for purposes such as playback and/or video editing, with a continuous swiping gesture and in as small as a space as provided by the touch screen display of a mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10209876
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate the identification of one or more media files within a gallery of media files presented upon a display. In the context of a method, a gallery of media files is caused to be displayed. The gallery of media file is grouped into a plurality of sessions. Each session includes one or more media files. The method also causes display of a scrollbar partitioned into a plurality of segments. Each segment corresponds to a respective session of media files. The method further includes determining the media files of the gallery to be displayed in response to user input selecting a respective segment of the scrollbar. In this regard, the method determines the media files of the gallery to be displayed by determining the media files of the session corresponding to the respective segment of the scrollbar that is selected.

  • Patent number: 10101892
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for providing interactive settings and dependency adjustments to the settings. A user interface provides a user with the ability to configure device or application settings. Other dependent settings may change accordingly to a compatible setting while causing minimized impact to the use of the device or application. The user interface may be interactive such that visual indication of the changed dependent setting is provided to the user in an unobtrusive manner.

  • Patent number: 9413960
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided so as to capture video images such that an image of a moment of significance is captured within the video. In the context of a method, an indication is received that a video capture user input will be subsequently provided directing that video images be captured. The method then determines whether a pre-roll is to be captured in advance of the video capture user input. The method causes the video images to be captured in response to the video capture user input. The video images include a start frame captured temporarily proximate receipt of the video capture user input. The method receives a video capture completion user input indicating that the capturing of the video images should be ceased. In response to receipt of the video capture completion user input, the method causes a post-roll to be captured.

  • Patent number: 9262120
    Abstract: Techniques for providing a graphical user interface for an audio channel include receiving data that indicates multiple audio contents for audio presentation at a first node. A graphical user interface is formed, which displays a time sequence of the plurality of audio contents for presentation, and which associates with each audio content one or more selectable operations on the audio content. Presentation of the graphical user interface is caused at a second node. In response to causing presentation of the graphical user interface, data is received that indicates an associated operation on audio content based on input from the second node.

  • Patent number: 9106820
    Abstract: Mechanisms are described for capturing video images using a multi-stage trigger button, where the effect of the trigger button is dependent on how a user interacts with the trigger button, such as during what timeframe the user releases the trigger button. For example, if the user ceases actuating the trigger button during a first time period following actuation, the capture of the video image is halted. If the user ceases actuating the trigger button during a second time period, the capture of the video image is continued. If the user ceases actuating the trigger button during a third time period, the capture of the video image is halted. Thus, for short actuations and long actuations, video images are only recorded while the trigger button is continued to be depressed. For video images in between, the video is continued to be recorded until a second actuation is received from the user.
