Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for storing image data in a mobile device.

Claims33
A method, comprising:
- outputting, by one or more processors of a device, an image for display;
- outputting, by the one or more processors, for display, a user prompt that queries whether a contact image based on the image is to be generated;
- receiving, by the one or more processors, an indication of a user input responsive to the user prompt;
- determining, based on the indication, that the contact image is to be generated;
- and
- in response to the determining, automatically:
- identifying a feature of a person in the image,
- defining the contact image, the contact image being a cropped version of the image and including the feature, and
- associating the contact image with a contact record stored in a computer-readable memory of the device, the associating being based on user selection of the contact record.
