Abstract

A portable electronic device with a touch screen display for photo management is disclosed. One aspect of the invention involves a computer-implemented method in which the portable electronic device displays an array of thumbnail images corresponding to a set of photographic images. The device replaces the displayed array of thumbnail images with a user-selected photographic image upon detecting a user contact with a corresponding thumbnail image in the array. The user-selected photographic image is displayed at a larger scale than the corresponding thumbnail image. The portable device displays a different photographic image in replacement of the user-selected photographic image in accordance with a scrolling gesture. The scrolling gesture comprises a substantially horizontal movement of user contact with the touch screen display.

Claims (63)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a touch screen display;

a camera;

one or more processors; and

memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors,

the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying, via the touch screen display, a user interface including:

a digital viewfinder that displays a representation of data received from the camera;

a shutter icon; and

a record icon;

while displaying the user interface that includes the digital viewfinder that displays the representation of data received from the camera, receiving a first user input;

in response to receiving the first user input:

in accordance with the first user input corresponding to the shutter icon, taking a still image corresponding to the data displayed in the digital viewfinder and displaying an animation when the still image is obtained; and

in accordance with the first user input corresponding to the record icon, stopping a video recording corresponding to the data displayed in the digital viewfinder.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

while displaying the digital viewfinder:

displaying, on the touch screen display, a camera roll icon, wherein the camera roll icon includes a thumbnail image corresponding to one of the still image and the video recording; and

receiving a second user input corresponding to the camera roll icon; and

in response to receiving the second user input, displaying a camera roll interface that includes an array of thumbnail images including at least a thumbnail image corresponding to the still image and a thumbnail image corresponding to the video recording.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

in response to receiving the second user input, ceasing to display the digital viewfinder.

4. The electronic device of claim 2 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

while displaying the camera roll interface, detecting a third user input on an icon that when activated initiates transfer to a camera user interface; and

in response to detecting the third user input, displaying the camera user interface.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a touch screen display and a camera, the one or more programs including instructions for:

displaying, via the touch screen display, a user interface including:

a digital viewfinder that displays a representation of data received from the camera;

a shutter icon; and

a record icon;

while displaying the user interface that includes the digital viewfinder that displays the representation of data received from the camera, receiving a first user input;

in response to receiving the first user input:

in accordance with the first user input corresponding to the shutter icon, taking a still image corresponding to the data displayed in the digital viewfinder and displaying an animation when the still image is obtained; and

in accordance with the first user input corresponding to the record icon, stopping a video recording corresponding to the data displayed in the digital viewfinder.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 5 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

while displaying the digital viewfinder:

displaying, on the touch screen display, a camera roll icon, wherein the camera roll icon includes a thumbnail image corresponding to one of the still image and the video recording; and

receiving a second user input corresponding to the camera roll icon; and

in response to receiving the second user input, displaying a camera roll interface that includes an array of thumbnail images including at least a thumbnail image corresponding to the still image and a thumbnail image corresponding to the video recording.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

in response to receiving the second user input, ceasing to display the digital viewfinder.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:

while displaying the camera roll interface, detecting a third user input on an icon that when activated initiates transfer to a camera user interface; and

in response to detecting the third user input, displaying the camera user interface.

9. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

at a portable electronic device with a touch screen display and a camera:

displaying, via the touch screen display, a user interface including:

a digital viewfinder that displays a representation of data received from the camera;

a shutter icon; and

a record icon;

while displaying the user interface that includes the digital viewfinder that displays the representation of data received from the camera, receiving a first user input;

in response to receiving the first user input:

in accordance with the first user input corresponding to the shutter icon, taking a still image corresponding to the data displayed in the digital viewfinder and displaying an animation when the still image is obtained; and

in accordance with the first user input corresponding to the record icon, stopping a video recording corresponding to the data displayed in the digital viewfinder.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

while displaying the digital viewfinder:

displaying, on the touch screen display, a camera roll icon, wherein the camera roll icon includes a thumbnail image corresponding to one of the still image and the video recording; and

receiving a second user input corresponding to the camera roll icon; and

in response to receiving the second user input, displaying a camera roll interface that includes an array of thumbnail images including at least a thumbnail image corresponding to the still image and a thumbnail image corresponding to the video recording.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

in response to receiving the second user input, ceasing to display the digital viewfinder.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

while displaying the camera roll interface, detecting a third user input on an icon that when activated initiates transfer to a camera user interface; and

in response to detecting the third user input, displaying the camera user interface.
