Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can provide a plurality of colored inks for a marker to modify a content item displayed on a display screen of a computing system. A determination can be made that a user has selected a colored ink from the plurality of colored inks, wherein the plurality of colored inks includes a multi-colored ink. One or more lines can be drawn on the display screen based on a user input and the selected colored ink.

Claims (53)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

obtaining, by a computing system, a content item selected by a user;

providing, by the computing system, a plurality of colored inks for a marker to augment the content item, wherein the plurality of colored inks include a multi-colored ink;

drawing, by the computing system, a continuous line on the content item based on a path of a finger of the user using the marker with the plurality of colored inks to generate an augmented content item,

wherein the drawing the continuous line comprises drawing a plurality of colored circles defining the continuous line, the plurality of colored circles being superimposed such that a subsequent colored circle is placed on top of a previous colored circle with a predefined offset in pixels or units of length,

wherein color output of the marker transitions from a first color to a second color of the plurality of colored inks once a first portion of the continuous line exceeds a first threshold length in pixels or units of length, and

wherein the color output of the marker transitions from the second color to a third color of the plurality of colored inks once a second portion of the continuous line exceeds a second threshold length in pixels or units of length; and

sharing, by the computing system, the augmented content item through a system.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the multi-colored ink is associated with a color palette, the color palette comprising a plurality of colors.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the color palette is associated with an order for the plurality of colors.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3 , wherein

user input is associated with a continuous path; and

the multi-colored ink transitions between the plurality of colors based on a length of the continuous path.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of colored circles are superimposed in a fixed color sequence based on the color palette.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the color palette comprises the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

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

providing an option for a selection of a thickness for the marker.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , wherein

the selection of the thickness for the marker is associated with a diameter of the plurality of colored circles.

9. A system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one process, cause the system to perform a method comprising:

obtaining a content item selected by a user;

providing a plurality of colored inks for a marker to augment the content item, wherein the plurality of colored inks include a multi-colored ink;

drawing a continuous line on the content item based on a path of a finger of the user using the marker with the plurality of colored inks to generate an augmented content item,

wherein the drawing the continuous line comprises drawing a plurality of colored circles defining the continuous line, the plurality of colored circles being superimposed such that a subsequent colored circle is placed on top of a previous colored circle with a predefined offset in pixels or units of length,

wherein color output of the marker transitions from a first color to a second color of the plurality of colored inks once a first portion of the continuous line exceeds a first threshold length in pixels or units of length, and

wherein the color output of the marker transitions from the second color to a third color of the plurality of colored inks once a second portion of the continuous line exceeds a second threshold length in pixels or units of length; and

sharing the augmented content item through a system.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the multi-colored ink is associated with by a color palette, the color palette comprising a plurality of colors.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the color palette is associated with an order for the plurality of colors.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein

user input is associated with a continuous path; and

the multi-colored ink transitions between the plurality of colors based on a length of the continuous path.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

obtaining a content item selected by a user;

providing a plurality of colored inks for a marker to augment the content item, wherein the plurality of colored inks include a multi-colored ink;

drawing a continuous line on the content item based on a path of a finger of the user using the marker with the plurality of colored inks to generate an augmented content item,

wherein the drawing the continuous line comprises drawing a plurality of colored circles defining the continuous line, the plurality of colored circles being superimposed such that a subsequent colored circle is placed on top of a previous colored circle with a predefined offset in pixels or units of length,

wherein color output of the marker transitions from a first color to a second color of the plurality of colored inks once a first portion of the continuous line exceeds a first threshold length in pixels or units of length, and

wherein the color output of the marker transitions from the second color to a third color of the plurality of colored inks once a second portion of the continuous line exceeds a second threshold length in pixels or units of length; and

sharing the augmented content item through a system.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the multi-colored ink is associated with by a color palette, the color palette comprising a plurality of colors.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the color palette is associated with an order for the plurality of colors.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein

user input is associated with a continuous path; and

the multi-colored ink transitions between the plurality of colors based on a length of the continuous path.

17. The system of claim 9 , further comprising:

providing an option for a selection of a thickness for the marker.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the selection of the thickness for the marker is associated with a diameter of the plurality of colored circles.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , further comprising:

providing an option for a selection of a thickness for the marker.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the selection of the thickness for the marker is associated with a diameter of the plurality of colored circles.
