Abstract

A server system for mobile device event control with digital images comprising: a processor configured to execute instructions; a memory containing instructions when executed on the processor, causes the processor to perform operations that: receive a digital image from a mobile device; identify a first element of the digital image and a second element of the digital image, wherein the first element of the digital image comprises a user-selected content, and wherein the second element comprises a depiction of a user action; determine an event trigger identified by the first element and the second element, wherein the event trigger comprises a mobile device operating system command, and wherein the mobile device operating system command comprises a command, to execute an image search with an online image search engine accessed by a web browser operating in the mobile device.

Claims (28)

1. A server system for mobile device event control with digital images comprising:

a processor configured to execute instructions;

a memory containing instructions when executed on the processor, causes the processor to perform operations that:

receive a digital image from a mobile device;

identify a first element of the digital image and a second element of the digital image, wherein the first element of the digital image comprises a user-selected content, and wherein the second element comprises a depiction of a user action;

determine an event trigger identified by the first element and the second element, wherein the event trigger comprises a mobile device operating system command, and wherein the mobile device operating system command comprises a command to execute an image search with an on line image search engine accessed by a web browser operating in the mobile device, wherein the event trigger comprises an intersecting point of focus in a topographical rendering and a graphical rendering of objects in and outside the immediate depth of focus of the object in the digital image; and

generating a mobile device command according to the event trigger, wherein the event trigger comprises values based on a relative position of the objects in and outside the immediate depth of focus of the object in the digital image.

2. The server system of claim 1 , wherein a series of digital images is utilized over a period to determine a changing/modifying percentage of focus.

3. The server system of claim 2 , wherein a series of digital images is used to determine a scale of difference among a set of objects in front of the image sensors.

4. The server system of claim 3 , wherein one or more specified machine learning algorithms are used for image recognition.

5. The server system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more machine learning algorithms analyze the graphical information such that a relative position is provided that is then ascribed to an object in part or as a set.

6. The server system of claim 5 , wherein the topographical distribution is determined for a set of objects.

7. The server system of claim 6 , wherein the topographical distribution for the set of objects are monitored for changes in a distribution value.

8. The server system of claim 7 , wherein the topographical distribution for the set of objects is associated with relative movements of the object.

9. The server system of claim 8 , wherein the percentage of focus is determined for each image or parts of the digital image.

10. The server system of claim 9 , wherein a set of points of convergence are stored and referenced.

11. The server system of claim 10 , wherein the points of convergence are recognized by a specified pattern and a varying match of points of convergence collected from the digital images.

12. A method of a mobile-device control with a plurality of rear-facing fixed-focus image sensors comprising:

providing a mobile device, wherein the mobile device comprises an array comprising a

plurality of rear-facing fixed-focus image sensors, and wherein each fixed-focus image

sensors comprises a different focus range value;

associating each rear facing fixed-focus image sensors with a command input of the mobile device;

detecting a specified object in a depth of field of a specified rear-facing fixed-focus image sensor of the rear-facing fixed-focus image sensors;

implementing the command input of the mobile device associated with the specified rear-facing fixed-focus image sensor by:

identifying a first element of the digital image and a second element of the digital image, wherein the first element of the digital image comprises a user-selected content, and wherein the second element comprises a depiction of a user action,

determining an event trigger identified by the first element and the second element, wherein the event trigger comprises a mobile device operating system command, and wherein the mobile device operating system command comprises a command,

to execute an image search with an online image search engine accessed by a web browser operating in the mobile device, wherein the event trigger comprises an intersecting point of focus in a topographical rendering and a graphical rendering of objects in and outside the immediate depth of focus of the object in the digital image, and

generating a mobile device command according to the event trigger, wherein the event trigger comprises values based on a relative position of the objects in and outside the immediate depth of focus of the object in the digital image.
