Abstract
Image selection control techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a method is described to control image selection in a user interface of a computing device. An input is detected by the computing device involving interaction with a display of an image in a user interface. A pattern is identified by the computing device in a portion of the image that includes the detected input. One or more objects of the content are located by the computing device that include the identified pattern, at least one said object positioned outside the portion of the image used to perform the identifying. A selection of the image is created as having the located one or more objects by the computing device in the user interface.
Claims20
A method to control image selection in a user interface of a computing device, the method comprising:
- detecting an input by the computing device involving interaction with a display of an image in a user interface;
- identifying a pattern by the computing device in a portion of the image that includes the detected input;
- locating one or more objects of the content by the computing device that include the identified pattern, at least one said object positioned outside the portion of the image used to perform the identifying;
- and
- creating a selection of the image as having the located one or more objects by the computing device in the user interface.
A system to control image selection in a user interface, the system comprising:
- a block definition module implemented at least partially in hardware, the block definition module configured to define a plurality of blocks within an image;
- a proximal area determination module implemented at least partially in hardware, the proximal area determination module configured to identify a portion of the image that includes an input detected as involving interaction with a display of the image in the user interface;
- a feature tracking module implemented at least partially in hardware, the feature tracking module configured to track features of one or more said blocks within the portion of the image in relation to one or more other said blocks that are not within the portion;
- and
- a selection creation module implemented at least partially in hardware, the selection creation module configured to create a selection of the image formed using the blocks of the image that have tracked features that correspond to tracked features of the portion.
A computing device comprising:
- a processing system;
- and
- computer-readable storage media comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the processing system, causes the processing system to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a gesture as drawing a freeform line over a display of an image in a user interface;
- identifying a pattern in a portion of the image that includes the drawn freeform line;
- locating one or more objects of the content by the computing device that include the identified pattern, at least one said object positioned outside the portion of the image used to perform the identifying;
- and
- creating a selection of the image as having the located one or more objects by the computing device in the user interface.
