SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING DEVICE OPERATION AND IMAGE CAPTURE
The present disclosure relates to controlling device operation. In one embodiment, a process for controlling device operation includes detecting a command to launch image capture functionality of the device, wherein the command includes contact to a display of the device and displaying an overlay window on the display of the device in response to the command, wherein the overlay window presents image data detected by the device. The process can also include detecting a capture command for image capture by the device, wherein the capture command relates to detection of a release of the contact to the display, and capturing image data in response to the capture command, wherein capturing includes storing captured image data by the device.
1 . A method for controlling device operation, the method comprising:
detecting, by a device, a command to launch image capture functionality of the device, wherein the command includes contact to a display of the device;
displaying, by the device, an overlay window on the display of the device in response to the command, wherein the overlay window presents image data detected by the device;
detecting, by the device, a capture command for image capture by the device, wherein the capture command relates to detection of a release of the contact to the display; and
capturing, by the device, image data in response to the capture command; wherein capturing includes storing captured image data by the device.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the command to launch the image capture functionality includes a touch command in a predetermined area of the display and includes continued contact with the display.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the overlay window includes image data detected by at least one image sensor of the device during detection of the contact to the display of the device.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the overlay window includes functionality for detection of an image data application of the device.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the capture command includes detection of a plurality of releases relative to the display, and wherein capturing image data includes capturing a plurality of images.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting, by the device, a toggle command following the command to launch the image capture functionality, wherein the toggle command includes contact to the display associated with a predetermined movement.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the toggle command includes switching image detection from a first image detection sensor to a second image detection sensor.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the toggle command switches functionality of the image detector from image to video detection.
9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the toggle command launches a camera application of the device.
10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising updating the display to remove the overlay window on the display of the device in response to the capture command.
11 . A device comprising:
at least one image sensor;
a display configured for presentation of a user interface; and
a controller configured to control the at least one image sensor and display, wherein the controller is configured to
detect a command to launch image capture functionality of the device, wherein the command includes contact to the display;
control display of an overlay window on the display in response to the command, wherein the overlay window presents image data detected by the at least one sensor;
detect a capture command for image capture by the device, wherein the capture command relates to detection of a release of the contact to the display; and
control capture of image data in response to the capture commands.
12 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the command to launch the image capture functionality includes a touch command in a predetermined area of the display and includes continued contact with the display.
13 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the overlay window includes image data detected by at least one image sensor of the device during detection of the contact to the display of the device.
14 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the overlay window includes functionality for detection of an image data application of the device.
15 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the capture command includes detection of a plurality of releases relative to the display, and wherein capturing image data includes capturing a plurality of images.
16 . The device of claim 11 , further comprising detecting, by the device, a toggle command following the command to launch the image capture functionality, wherein the toggle command includes contact to the display associated with a predetermined movement.
17 . The device of claim 16 , wherein the toggle command includes switching image detection from a first image detection sensor to a second image detection sensor.
18 . The device of claim 16 , wherein the toggle command switches functionality of the image detector from image to video detection.
19 . The device of claim 16 , wherein the toggle command launches a camera application of the device.
20 . The device of claim 11 , further comprising updating the display to remove the overlay window on the display of the device in response to the capture command.
