Interface for capturing a digital image with real-time text

Abstract

The interface provides a means of capturing a composite digital image on a mobile computer, wherein a captured image is a composite of digital camera image data and text. The interface presents a real-time preview wherein the geometry, quality, and resolution of the preview are allowed to differ from the geometry, quality, and resolution of a captured image. The interface responds to computer characteristics' changes, data changes over time, and interface interactions by updating the preview in real-time, wherein text updates are introduced in an animated manner. The interface permits customization of the text's presentation, including position, scale, font, and style, where style includes color and other common attributes of text that affect visual presentation. The interface contextually adds sections based on the type of textual information composited.
