Abstract
An electronic device, includes: a touch screen, a digital camera, a computing entity configured to display graphical user interface via the touch screen, and configured to capture user input via the graphical user interface, and configured to utilize digital camera for digital imaging, the computing entity being specifically configured to: initiate a successive image capturing function via the digital camera, detect substantially continuous user input gesture via the graphical user interface, optionally upon graphical indications, and adjust the capture rate of the successive image capturing function according to the user input gesture. A corresponding method is presented.
Claims15
An electronic device, comprising:
- a touch screen,
- a digital camera,
- a computing entity configured to display graphical user interface via said touch screen, and configured to capture user input via said graphical user interface, and configured to utilize digital camera for digital imaging, the computing entity being specifically configured to:
- initiate a successive image capturing function via said digital camera;
- detect substantially continuous user input gesture via said graphical user interface, optionally upon graphical indications;
- and
- adjust the capture rate of said successive image capturing function according to said user input gesture.
A method for adjusting the capture rate of said successive imaging through an electronic device, comprising:
- receiving substantially continuous user input provided as a gesture on a graphical user interface via the touch screen,
- detecting the movement direction and magnitude of the user input gesture, and
- adjusting the capture rate of the successive imaging function according to the direction and magnitude of the user input gesture.
A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising computer code for causing the computer to execute:
- receiving substantially continuous user input provided as a gesture on a graphical user interface via the touch screen,
- detecting the movement direction and magnitude of the user input gesture, and
- adjusting the capture rate of the successive imaging function according to the direction and magnitude of the user input gesture.
