Abstract
Systems and methods for rendering items with a user interface of an electronic device are described. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may detect its orientation and render, in a user interface, a physical item using a rendering effect determined from the orientation. As a user of the electronic device reorients the electronic device, the electronic device may automatically and dynamically update the rendering with an updated rendering effect to reflect the updated orientation. In embodiments, the user may use the electronic device to complete an order for the physical item.
Claims20
An electronic device for rendering, in a user interface, an item, comprising:
- a sensor for detecting an orientation of the electronic device;
- an image sensor;
- a user interface;
- a memory storing non-transitory computer executable instructions;
- and
- a processor interfacing with the sensor, the image sensor, the user interface, and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the non-transitory computer executable instructions to cause the processor to:
- retrieve, from the sensor, an initial orientation of the electronic device,
- retrieve a set of image data captured by the image sensor,
- determine, based on the initial orientation of the electronic device, an initial rendering effect for the item, and
- cause the user interface to (i) display at least a portion of the set of image data captured by the image sensor, and (ii) render the item using the initial rendering effect overlaid on the displayed set of image data.
A computer-implemented method in an electronic device of rendering, in a user interface, an item, the method comprising:
- detecting, by an angular sensor, an initial orientation of the electronic device;
- determining, by a processor of the electronic device based on the initial orientation of the electronic device, an initial rendering effect for the item;
- capturing, by an image sensor, a set of image data;
- and
- displaying, in a user interface, (i) at least a portion of the set of image data captured by the image sensor, and (ii) a rendering of the item using the initial rendering effect overlaid on the displayed set of image data.
A computer-implemented method in an electronic device of facilitating an order for a physical item, the method comprising:
- initiating, by a processor of the electronic device, an item preview mode associated with the order for the physical item;
- while the item preview mode is active:
- detecting, by an angular sensor, a current orientation of the electronic device,
- capturing, by an image sensor, a set of image data,
- determining, by the processor based on the current orientation of the electronic device, a current rendering effect for the physical item, and
- displaying, in a user interface, (i) at least a portion of the set of image data, and (ii) a current rendering of the item using the initial rendering effect overlaid on the
- displayed set of image data;
- and
- when a selection is received via the user interface, initiating a subsequent mode associated with the order for the physical item.
