Abstract
In general, techniques of this disclosure may enable a computing device to capture one or more images based on a natural language user input. The computing device, while operating in an image capture mode, receive an indication of a natural language user input associated with an image capture command. The computing device determines, based on the image capture command, a visual token to be included in one or more images to be captured by the camera. The computing device locates the visual token within an image preview output by the computing device while operating in the image capture mode. The computing device captures one or more images of the visual token.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- while a computing device is operating in an image capture mode:
- receiving, by the computing device, an indication of user input associated with an image capture command;
- after receiving the indication of the user input associated with the image capture command, determining, by the computing device, based on the image capture command, a visual token to be included in one or more images to be captured by a camera of the computing device;
- locating, by the computing device, the visual token within an image preview output by the computing device;
- and
- responsive to automatically adjusting camera controls to focus, zoom, or crop the visual token within the image preview, capturing, by the computing device, one or more images of the visual token.
A computing device comprising at least one processor configured to:
- while the computing device is operating in an image capture mode:
- receive an indication of user input associated with an image capture command;
- after receiving the indication of the user input associated with the image capture command, determine, based on the image capture command, a visual token to be included in one or more images to be captured by a camera of the computing device;
- locate the visual token within an image preview output by the computing device;
- and
- responsive to automatically adjusting camera controls to focus, zoom, or crop the visual token within the image preview, capture one or more images of the visual token.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor of a computing device to:
- while the computing device is operating in an image capture mode:
- receive an indication of user input associated with an image capture command;
- after receiving the indication of the user input associated with the image capture command, determine, based on the image capture command, a visual token to be included in one or more images to be captured by a camera of the computing device;
- locate the visual token within an image preview output by the computing device;
- and
- responsive to automatically adjusting camera controls to focus, zoom, or crop the visual token within the image preview, capture one or more images of the visual token.
