Abstract
A computer-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: receiving, via a mobile device that is in a pre-authorization state, user input for initiating a procedure for account authorization at an online image repository; in response to receiving the user input, configuring the mobile device to initiate access to an account at the online image repository based on creating an authorization token associated with the online image repository; and storing, at the mobile device, the authorization token.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting capture of an image at a mobile device;
- in response to detecting the capture of the image, automatically displaying, via a first graphical user interface on the mobile device, a menu comprising a first menu item;
- receiving, via the mobile device, a user selection of the first menu item, wherein the mobile device is in a pre-authorization state while displaying the menu and while receiving the user selection of the first menu item;
- in direct response to receiving the user selection of the first menu item, displaying a second graphical user interface on the mobile device for interacting with an online image repository and configuring the mobile device to initiate access to an account at the online image repository by creating an authorization token associated with the online image repository;
- storing, at the mobile device, the authorization token;
- and
- uploading the image, as an image file, from the mobile device to the online image repository using the stored authorization token.
An electronic device comprising:
- a display;
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- detect capture of an image at the electronic device;
- in response to detecting the capture of the image, automatically control the display to display, via a first graphical user interface, a menu comprising a first menu item;
- receive a user selection of the first menu item, wherein the electronic device is in a pre-authorization state while the menu is displayed and while the user selection of the first menu item is received;
- in direct response to receiving the user selection of the first menu item, control the display to display a second graphical user interface for interacting with an online image repository and initiate access to an account at the online image repository by creating an authorization token associated with the online image repository;
- store the authorization token in the memory;
- and
- upload the image, as an image file, from the electronic device to the online image repository using the stored authorization token.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- detect capture of an image;
- in response to detecting the capture of the image, automatically control a display to display, via a first graphical user interface, a menu comprising a first menu item;
- receive a user selection of the first menu item;
- in direct response to receiving the user selection of the first menu item, control the display to display a second graphical user interface for interacting with an online image repository and initiate access to an account at the online image repository by creating an authorization token associated with the online image repository;
- store the authorization token;
- and
- upload the image, as an image file, to the online image repository using the stored authorization token.
