Abstract
The invention provides an improved method and apparatus for capturing and sharing digital content, such as image, video, audio, or textual content, quickly and with minimal user activity compared to the prior art. In one embodiment, a computing device performs an action when it is placed in a substantially vertical orientation. In another embodiment, the computing device performs another action in response to movement of the computing device. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.
Claims24
A system for capturing digital media, comprising:
- a computing device comprising a processing unit, memory, and input device;
- wherein the processing unit is configured by instructions stored in the memory to automatically generate a user interface in response to inference data gathered from a first single user action on the computing device, the user interface configured to allow the user to instruct the computing device to capture digital media using the input device without pressing a button on the computing device;
- and
- wherein the computing device further comprises a movement detection sensor and the inference data is data from the movement detection sensor indicating the computing device has been moved into a substantially vertical position and wherein the processing unit is configured by instructions stored in the memory to capture digital media in response to a second single user action on the user interface.

A system for capturing and sharing digital media, comprising:
- a computing device comprising a processing unit, memory, input device, and network interface;
- wherein the processing unit is configured by instructions stored in the memory to automatically generate a user interface in response to inference data gathered from a first single user action on the computing device, the user interface configured to allow the user to instruct the computing device to capture digital media using the input device without pressing a button on the computing device;
- wherein the processing unit is further configured by instructions stored in the memory to share the digital media using the network interface in response to a third single user action;
- and
- wherein the computing device further comprises a movement detection sensor and the inference data is data from the movement detection sensor indicating the computing device has been moved into a substantially vertical position, and wherein the processing unit is configured by instructions stored in the memory to capture the digital media in response to the second single user action on the user interface.
