Abstract

A device and method are presently disclosed. The computer implemented method, includes at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, displaying a still image on the touch-sensitive display, while displaying the still image, detecting user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display, and in response to detecting the user's finger contact, video recording the still image.

Claims (64)

1. A computer implemented method, comprising: at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display,

displaying a still image on the touch-sensitive display;

while displaying the still image, detecting user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display; and

in response to detecting the user's finger contact, video recording the still image as long as the user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display is detected.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to detecting the user's finger contact, playing an audio file.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 2 , further comprising:

detecting removal of the user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display;

in response to detecting removal of the user's finger contact, pausing playing the audio file; and

in response to detecting removal of the user's finger contact, pausing video recording the still image.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 3 , further comprising:

in response to detecting removal of the user's finger contact, comparing the length of the video recording with the length of the audio file played;

adjusting the length of the audio file to match the length of the video recording.

5. The computer implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising:

detecting another finger contact with the touch-sensitive display;

in response to detecting the another finger contact, capturing visual media through at least one optical sensor.

6. The computer implemented method of claim 5 , further comprising:

in response to detecting the another finger contact, continue playing the adjusted audio file.

7. A computer implemented method, comprising: at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display,

displaying a pre-recorded video on the touch-sensitive display;

while displaying the pre-recorded video, detecting user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display;

in response to detecting the user's finger contact, start playing at least a portion of the pre-recorded video on the touch-sensitive display; and

video recording at least the portion of the pre-recorded video playing on the touch-sensitive display as long as the user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display is detected.

8. The computer implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:

in response to detecting the user's finger contact, playing an audio file.

9. The computer implemented method of claim 8 , further comprising:

detecting removal of the user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display;

in response to detecting removal of the user's finger contact, pausing playing the audio file; and

in response to detecting removal of the user's finger contact, pausing video recording.

10. The computer implemented method of claim 9 , further comprising:

in response to detecting removal of the user's finger contact, comparing the length of the video recording with the length of the audio file played;

adjusting the length of the audio file played to match the length of the video recording.

11. The computer implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising:

detecting another finger contact with the touch-sensitive display;

in response to detecting the another finger contact, capturing visual media through at least one optical sensor.

12. The computer implemented method of claim 11 , further comprising:

in response to detecting the another finger contact, continue playing the adjusted audio file.

13. A computer implemented method, comprising: at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display,

detecting user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display;

in response to detecting the user's finger contact, capturing visual media through at least one optical sensor as long as the user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display is detected; and

in response to detecting the user's finger contact, playing an audio file through a speaker as long as the user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display is detected.

14. The computer implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the speaker is associated with the electronic device.

15. The computer implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising:

detecting removal of the user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display;

in response to the removal of the user's finger contact, pausing capturing visual media and pausing playing the audio file;

displaying a still image on the touch-sensitive display;

while displaying the still image, detecting another finger contact with the touch-sensitive display; and

in response to detecting the another finger contact, video recording the still image.

16. The computer implemented method of claim 15 , further comprising:

in response to detecting the another finger contact, continue playing the audio file.

17. The computer implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising:

detecting removal of the user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display;

in response to the removal of the user's finger contact, pausing capturing visual media and pausing playing the audio file;

displaying a pre-recorded video on the touch-sensitive display;

while displaying the pre-recorded video, detecting another finger contact with the touch-sensitive display;

in response to detecting the another finger contact, start playing at least a portion of the pre-recorded video on the touch-sensitive display; and

video recording at least the portion of the pre-recorded video playing on the touch-sensitive display.

18. The computer implemented method of claim 17 , further comprising:

in response to detecting the another finger contact, continue playing the audio file.

19. The computer implemented method of claim 13 , further comprising:

detecting removal of the user's finger contact with the touch-sensitive display;

in response to the removal of the user's finger contact, pausing capturing visual media and pausing playing the audio file;

detecting another finger contact with the touch-sensitive display;

in response to the another finger contact, resuming capturing visual media and playing the audio file.
