Locking a group of images to a desired level of zoom and an object of interest between image transitions

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for grouping a plurality of images;
• means for displaying a first image among the plurality of images;
• means for determining an object of interest within the first image and a desired level of zoom;
• means for determining to lock onto the object of interest in association with one or more transitions between the plurality of images;
• means for determining to transition to a second image among the plurality of images;
• means for detecting, based on the lock determination, the object of interest within the second image;
• and
• means for displaying the second image by zooming-in upon the object of interest at a level of zoom that corresponds to the desired level of zoom.

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• at least one processor coupled to user interface output circuitry and configured to:
• group a plurality of images;
• display a first image among the plurality of images;
• determine an object of interest within the first image and a desired level of zoom;
• determine to lock onto the object of interest in association with one or more transitions between the plurality of images;
• determine to transition to a second image among the plurality of images;
• detect, based on the lock determination, the object of interest within the second image;
• and
• display the second image by zooming-in upon the object of interest at a level of zoom that corresponds to the desired level of zoom.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to perform operations, the instructions comprising:

• at least one instruction to cause the UE to group a plurality of images;
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to display a first image among the plurality of images;
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to determine an object of interest within the first image and a desired level of zoom;
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to determine to lock onto the object of interest in association with one or more transitions between the plurality of images;
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to determine to transition to a second image among the plurality of images;
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to detect, based on the lock determination, the object of interest within the second image;
• and
• at least one instruction to cause the UE to display the second image by zooming-in upon the object of interest at a level of zoom that corresponds to the desired level of zoom.
