Abstract
Background blurring is provided when capturing an image using an image capture device. Input is received for initiating an image capture process for capturing an image at an image capture device, the image including at least a subject and a background. The image capture device is automatically focused closer than the subject for capturing the image with the background blurred responsive to receiving the input for initiating the image capture process.
Claims21
A method for providing background blurring when capturing an image using an image capture device, the method comprising:
- receiving input for initiating an image capture process for capturing an image at an image capture device, the image including at least a subject and a background;
- and
- responsive to receiving the input for initiating the image capture process, automatically focusing the image capture device closer than the subject for capturing the image with the background blurred.
A system for providing background blurring when capturing an image using an image capture device, the system comprising:
- means for receiving input for initiating an image capture process for capturing an image at an image capture device, the image including at least a subject and a background;
- and
- means for automatically focusing the image capture device closer than the subject for capturing the image with the background blurred responsive to receiving the input for initiating the image capture process.
A system for providing background blurring when capturing an image using an image capture device, the system comprising:
- an image capture initiator component configured for receiving input for initiating an image capture process for capturing an image at an image capture device, the image including at least a subject and a background;
- and
- a blurring function configured for automatically focusing the image capture device closer than the subject for capturing the image with the background blurred responsive to receiving the input for initiating the image capture process.
A non-transitory computer readable medium containing a computer program for providing background blurring when capturing an image using an image capture device, the computer program comprising executable instructions for:
- receiving input for initiating an image capture process for capturing an image at an image capture device, the image including at least a subject and a background;
- and
- responsive to receiving the input for initiating the image capture process, automatically focusing the image capture device closer than the subject for capturing the image with the background blurred.
