Smart camera user interface

A computer-implemented method executed using one or more processors, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the one or more processors, image data depicting a scene viewed by the camera device;
• determining, by the one or more processors, data describing a plurality of persons determined from the scene, the plurality of persons being person that are depicted in the scene;
• determining, by the one or more processors, that the at least one of the persons is a contact in a social network system to which a user of the camera device is a member and in response:
• determining, by the one or more processors, one or more actions based on the contact in the social network;
• providing, by the one or more processors, instructions to display an action interface comprising one or more action elements, wherein each action element, upon user selection, causing execution of a respective action, the action interface being displayed in a viewfinder of a camera in which the image data is displayed;
• receiving an indication of a user interaction with an action element of the one or more action elements;
• and
• executing an action associated with the action element.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer storage medium in data communication with the one or more processors and storing instructions executable by the one or more processors and that upon such execution cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, by the one or more processors, image data depicting a scene viewed by the camera device;
• determining, by the one or more processors, data describing a plurality of persons determined from the scene, the plurality of persons being person that are depicted in the scene;
• determining, by the one or more processors, that the at least one of the persons is a contact in a social network system to which a user of the camera device is a member and in response:
• determining, by the one or more processors, one or more actions based on the contact in the social network;
• providing, by the one or more processors, instructions to display an action interface comprising one or more action elements, wherein each action element, upon user selection, causing execution of a respective action, the action interface being displayed in a viewfinder of a camera in which the image data is displayed;
• receiving an indication of a user interaction with an action element of the one or more action elements;
• and
• executing an action associated with the action element.

A non-transitory computer storage medium and storing instructions executable by one or more processors and that upon such execution cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• configured to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, by the one or more processors, image data depicting a scene viewed by the camera device;
• determining, by the one or more processors, data describing a plurality of persons determined from the scene, the plurality of persons being person that are depicted in the scene;
• determining, by the one or more processors, that the at least one of the persons is a contact in a social network system to which a user of the camera device is a member and in response:
• determining, by the one or more processors, one or more actions based on the contact in the social network;
• providing, by the one or more processors, instructions to display an action interface comprising one or more action elements, wherein each action element, upon user selection, causing execution of a respective action, the action interface being displayed in a viewfinder of a camera in which the image data is displayed;
• receiving an indication of a user interaction with an action element of the one or more action elements;
• and
• executing an action associated with the action element.
