Abstract

Digital image capture session and metadata association techniques are described. In one example, a user input is received to initiate an image capture session. At least one digital image is captured using a digital camera during the image capture session. Audio input data is also collected using an audio input device during the image capture session and is converted into text data, e.g., speech-to-text. Metadata is generated based on the text data and associated with the at least one digital image. The at least one digital image is output as having the associated metadata as completion of the image capture session.

Claims (47)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

obtaining multiple digital images captured during an image capture session by a digital camera of a computing device;

obtaining information relating to the multiple digital images captured during the image capture session;

saving the multiple digital images captured during the image capture session and the information relating to the multiple digital images, wherein the information relating to the multiple digital images includes at least a product name of a product contained within at least one digital image of the multiple digital images captured during the image capture session and a price of the product, the price of the product based on an average price of similar products that are similar to the product and listed for sale on an online marketplace;

monitoring to detect a change to the average price of the similar products listed for sale on the online marketplace;

automatically updating the price of the product based on the change to the average price of similar products listed for sale on the online marketplace; and

displaying, in a user interface presented at the computing device, the updated price of the product proximate a thumbnail image of at least one of the multiple digital images captured during the image capture session.

2. The method as described in claim 1 , further comprising causing display of at least one additional thumbnail image of at least one additional product contained within at least one additional digital image of the multiple digital images captured during the image capture session along with a price of the at least one additional product.

3. The method as described in claim 2 , wherein the price of the at least one additional product is based on an average price of similar products that are similar to the at least one additional product and listed for sale on the online marketplace.

4. The method as described in claim 3 , further comprising

computing an overall current value of the product and the at least one additional product based on the price of the product and the price of the at least one additional product, and displaying the overall current value in the user interface.

5. The method as described in claim 4 , further comprising:

monitoring to detect a change to the average price of the similar products listed for sale on the online marketplace; and

automatically updating the price of the additional product based on the change to the average price of the similar products that are similar to the at least one additional product and listed on the online marketplace.

6. The method as described in claim 5 , further comprising:

updating the overall current value of the product and the at least one additional product based on the updated price of the additional product.

7. The method as described in claim 1 , further comprising causing display of a control in a user interface presented at the computing device that is selectable to list the product on the online marketplace.

8. The method as described in claim 7 , wherein the control is selectable to list the product for sale on the online marketplace.
