Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to automated identification and presentation of image capture modifiers. More particularly, but not by way of limitation, the present disclosure addresses systems and methods for identifying image modifiers based on image analysis of images within a field of view of an image capture device and interaction analysis of selections within a user interface.
Telecommunications applications and devices can provide communication between multiple users using a variety of media, such as text, images, sound recordings, or video recording. For example, video conferencing allows two or more individuals to communicate with each other using a combination of software applications, telecommunications devices, and a telecommunications network. Telecommunications devices may also record video streams to transmit as messages across a telecommunications network.
Although telecommunications applications and devices exist to provide two-way video communication between two devices, there can be issues with video streaming, such as modifying images within the video stream during pendency of a communication session. Telecommunications devices use physical manipulation of the device in order to perform operations. For example, devices are typically operated by changing an orientation of the device or manipulating an input device, such as a touchscreen. Accordingly, there is still a need in the art to improve video communications between devices and modifying video streams in real time while the video stream is being captured.
Various ones of the appended drawings merely illustrate example embodiments of the present disclosure and should not be considered as limiting its scope.
The headings provided herein are merely for convenience and do not necessarily affect the scope or meaning of the terms used.
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to automated identification and presentation of image capture modifiers. More particularly, but not by way of limitation, the present disclosure addresses systems and methods for identifying image modifiers based on image analysis of images within a field of view of an image capture device and interaction analysis of selections within a user interface. The description that follows includes systems, methods, techniques, instruction sequences, and computing machine program products illustrative of embodiments of the disclosure. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide an understanding of various embodiments of the inventive subject matter. It will be evident to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the inventive subject matter may be practiced without these specific details. In general, well-known instruction instances, protocols, structures, and techniques are not shown in detail.
In some embodiments, when a user taps on a camera view (e.g., a real time or live field of view of an image capture device) within a user interface to activate an image modifier (e.g., an image filter, a digital lens, a set of add on graphical elements), a grouping or order is determined by modifier category among the modifiers initially activated. In such embodiments, this is an interpretation of an intent of the user. For example, tapping on a face in a field of view of a front facing camera may return a modifier category (e.g., filter category) of “SELFIE.” The return of the specified modifier category is determined based on the identified target of the tap being a face in some such embodiments.
When adding a new modifier category (e.g., filter category, lens category, graphical element category), a user defines other categories which should appear within a presentation of image modifiers alongside the primary modifier category in some embodiments. The user selects a user interface element to add an image modifier or modifier category. The user may enter details relating to the category and select one or more secondary display categories. The secondary display categories may be input as an ordered list. After adding a category into the list, the user may alter or move the category to change the order in which the category appears in a presentation image modifiers (e.g., filters, lenses, or sets of add-on graphical elements).
In some example embodiments, to activate modifiers, the user enters an application, displaying a user interface. Once the user interface is displayed, a user intent is determined based on one or more of a tap, click, or other selection; image parameters; content of a field of view of an image capture device; sensor data indicating a position, orientation, or location of a computing device; and any other suitable data. Modifiers of a selected modifier category are ordered first within an ordered list of modifiers (e.g., filters, lenses, or sets of graphical elements). In some embodiments, a primary or main modifier category defines which other categories should be displayed and in which order.
The various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices and instructions by one or more processors of a device to modify an image or a video stream transmitted by the device to another device while the video stream is being captured (e.g., modifying a video stream in real time). An image capture system is described that identifies and tracks objects and areas of interest within an image or across a video stream and through a set of images comprising the video stream. In various example embodiments, the image capture system identifies modifiers suitable for a combination of an estimated or identified user intent and objects, scenes, or characteristics depicted within a field of view of an image capture device. In some instances, the image capture system (e.g., image capture system 160 described below) generates and modifies visual elements within the video stream based on data captured from the real-world environment.

As shown in
The client devices 110 can execute conventional web browser applications or applications (also referred to as “apps”) that have been developed for a specific platform to include any of a wide variety of mobile computing devices and mobile-specific operating systems (e.g., IOS™, ANDROID™, WINDOWS® PHONE). Further, in some example embodiments, the client devices 110 form all or part of an image capture system 160 such that components of the image capture system 160 configure the client device 110 to perform a specific set of functions with respect to operations of the image capture system 160.
In an example, the client devices 110 are executing the client application(s) 112. The client application(s) 112 can provide functionality to present information to a user 106 and communicate via the network 104 to exchange information with the social messaging system 130. Further, in some examples, the client devices 110 execute functionality of the image capture system 160 to segment images of video streams during capture of the video streams and transmit the video streams (e.g., with image data modified based on the segmented images of the video stream).
Each of the client devices 110 can comprise a computing device that includes at least a display and communication capabilities with the network 104 to access the social messaging system 130, other client devices, and third-party servers 120. The client devices 110 comprise, but are not limited to, remote devices, work stations, computers, general purpose computers. Internet appliances, hand-held devices, wireless devices, portable devices, wearable computers, cellular or mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), smart phones, tablets, ultrabooks, netbooks, laptops, desktops, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, game consoles, set-top boxes, network PCs, mini-computers, and the like. User 106 can be a person, a machine, or other means of interacting with the client devices 110. In some embodiments, the user 106 interacts with the social messaging system 130 via the client devices 110. The user 106 may not be part of the networked environment, but may be associated with the client devices 110.
As shown in
An individual can register with the social messaging system 130 to become a member of the social messaging system 130. Once registered, a member can form social network relationships (e.g., friends, followers, or contacts) on the social messaging system 130 and interact with a broad range of applications provided by the social messaging system 130.
The application logic layer 126 includes various application logic components 150, which, in conjunction with the interface components 140, generate various user interfaces with data retrieved from various data sources or data services in the data layer 128. Individual application logic components 150 may be used to implement the functionality associated with various applications, services, and features of the social messaging system 130. For instance, a social messaging application can be implemented with of the application logic components 150. The social messaging application provides a messaging mechanism for users of the client devices 110 to send and receive messages that include text and media content such as pictures and video. The client devices 110 may access and view the messages from the social messaging application for a specified period of time (e.g., limited or unlimited). In an example, a particular message is accessible to a message recipient for a predefined duration (e.g., specified by a message sender) that begins when the particular message is first accessed. After the predefined duration elapses, the message is deleted and is no longer accessible to the message recipient. Of course, other applications and services may be separately embodied in their own application logic components 150.
As illustrated in
In some embodiments, the social messaging system 130 may be an ephemeral message system that enables ephemeral communications where content (e.g. video clips or images) are deleted following a deletion trigger event such as a viewing time or viewing completion. In such embodiments, a device uses the various components described herein within the context of any of generating, sending, receiving, or displaying aspects of an ephemeral message. For example, a device implementing the image capture system 160 may identify, track, and modify an object of interest, such as pixels representing skin on a face, augmented reality objects suspended in air, designs or patterns superimposed on an object, or any other suitable modification to objects depicted in the video clip. The device may modify objects of interest during capture of the video clip without image processing after capture of the video clip as a part of a generation of content for an ephemeral message.
In
In operation 310, the receiver component 210 receives a selection at a user interface of a computing device. The selection indicates a position within the user interface. The user interface comprises a field of view of an image capture device in communication with the computing device. The selection may indicate a region of the user interface outside of the field of view of the image capture device. In some instances, the selection at the user interface may indicate a region, area, or portion of the field of view of the image capture device. In some embodiments, the selection indicates an object of interest (e.g., a person's face) depicted within the field of view of the image capture device. The position of the selection may correspond to an object of interest, element, visual feature, physical object, aspect of scenery, or ambient aspect in the real world which is depicted within the image, video stream, or real-time field of view of the image capture device presented within the user interface displayed on the computing device.
In some embodiments, the user interface additionally comprises a set of user interface elements. The set of interface elements may include a set of icons, buttons, logos, or other graphical representations associated with discrete user functions. For example, the user interface may include user interface elements including a flash indicator, a home icon, a camera selection icon, an image capture icon, a history icon, a chat icon, a story icon, and any other suitable icon or graphical representation. The user interface elements are selectable to cause one or more of the image capture device and the computing device to perform one or more functions. For example, the flash indicator may be selectable to enable a flash discharge proximate to capturing an image or precluding a flash discharge. The home icon may be selectable to cause the computing device to display a menu, account aspects, or any other suitable combination of user interface display and user interface elements (e.g., selectable icons).
In some instances, as shown in
In these instances, components of the image capture system 160 may identify the selection is within the field of view of the image capture device and make one or more determinations based on the location of the selection within the field of view. The determinations may include characteristics of one or more objects depicted within the field of view, an identification of an object or person depicted within the field of view, a type of object depicted within the field of view, a scenery type depicted within the field of view, a weather event, a logo, or any other suitable information relating to objects, entities, or aspects within the field of view. Examples and embodiments of such determinations are described in more details below, however, the described determinations are not exhaustive and other suitable or similar determinations may be made by the image capture system 160.
Although described with respect to selection of an object of interest or area of interest depicted within the user interface, it should be understood that the image capture system 160 is capable of identifying or otherwise selecting the object of interest automatically, without input from a user. As shown in
In some example embodiments, the identification component 230 performs the determinations in a set of operations initiated upon receiving the selection. The identification component 230 may determine one or more characteristics of one or more objects of interest depicted within the field of view of the image capture device. The characteristics of the object of interest may be determined by shape recognition operations, edge detection, facial recognition, edge matching, image segmentation, blob analysis, gradient matching, grayscale matching, or any other suitable object detection method.
After or contemporaneous to determining the one or more characteristics of the object of interest, the identification component 230 determines an identification for the object of interest, or each object of interest where a plurality of objects of interest are depicted within the field of view. The identification may be based on the determination of the one or more characteristics of the object of interest. In instances where the object of interest is an individual and the characteristics are determined through facial recognition operations, the identification component 230 determines the identity of the object of interest as one or more of identifying a face and identifying an individual depicted within the field of view.
In some example embodiments, in response to receiving the selection in operation 310, the presentation component 270 generates a representation graphic indicating one or more of the positions of the selection within the user interface and an object of interest identified within the field of view based on the selection. In some instances, the representation graphic includes a mesh overlaid on the object of interest. For example, where the object of interest is a face, the presentation component 270 may overlay, for a period of time, a mesh onto the face. Where the object of interest is a sky, the presentation component 270 may overlay the mesh onto at least a portion of the sky visible within the field of view of the image capture device. Further, where the object of interest is a floor, the presentation component 270 may overlay the mesh onto at least a portion of the floor. In some embodiments, the interaction component 260 uses the mesh overlay to indicate the selection of the object of interest. In other embodiments, the interaction component 260 and the presentation component 270 employ other indications of a particular object selection (e.g., a color change or image alternation associated with the particular object selection to highlight the particular object selection). In still other embodiments, the presentation component 270 generates and causes display of indicators that show which objects are selectable within a field of view.
Upon selection, each target, area selected, or pixel position may display a context-specific mesh at activation. After activation, the presentation component 270 loads at least one set of modifiers, described in more detail below. In some instances, the modifiers are presented in a formatted presentation referred to as a modifier carousel. In some instances, the mesh is displayed for a target object when the modifier carousel user interface elements appear. In some embodiments, a mesh is not displayed where the mesh would be a subsequent mesh switching from a front to a rear camera. In some instances, a subsequent mesh is not displayed when tapping a second time on a same activator target while a modifier (e.g., a lens, filter, or set of add-on graphical elements) is active. In some embodiments, selections in at least a portion of the screen causes display of a focus icon (e.g., a focus reticle) enabling selective or manual focus. In some instances, a subsequent mesh is displayed where a user selects or otherwise taps on a user interface indicating a modifier (e.g., a lens, filter, or a set of add-on graphical elements) having a modifier category or class different than the category associated with an activation and presentation of a previous mesh. For example, if an atmospheric modifier is active and a selection of a face is received, the mesh (e.g., the subsequent mesh) is presented as an overlay of the face. By way of further example,
In some instances, selection causes or triggers the presentation component 270 to cause presentation of the mesh or other indicator, as an animated overlay above an identified target, and presentation of a focus animation. The focus animation may be representative of a focusing operation of the image capture device which causes the image capture device to focus on a target or target region indicated by the selection.
In some example embodiments, the modifier carousel includes search functionality to enable a user to identify or select a specified or desired modifier. In some instances, the search functionality is enabled using a search icon placed within the modifier carousel and among the modifier icons. The search icon depicts an indication of search functionality, such as a question mark or other graphical representation of search functionality. In some instances, the search icon is positioned within the modifier carousel according to an order specified for the modifier icons, described in more detail below. The search icon is presented at the end of the set of modifier icons included in the modifier carousel and presented according to a specified order. In some instances, the search icon is positioned at the front or beginning of the ordered set of modifier icons.
In example embodiments, the search icon is presented outside of the modifier carousel. For example, in some instances, the modifier carousel is presented on a right-hand side of an image capture element and, once selected, a modifier icon is positioned inside the image capture element. In such instances, the search icon may be presented on a left-hand side of the image capture element. In some example embodiments, the search icon is presented proximate to the image capture element. In some instances, the search icon is presented a distance apart from the image capture element, such that at least one modifier icon occurring before a selected modifier icon in the ordered set of icons is presented proximate to the image capture element on a side of the image capture element opposite the modifier icons occurring after the selected modifier icon in the ordered set of modifier icons. In some instances, the search icon is presented in a plane apart from the modifier icons presented in the modifier carousel. For example, the search icon may be presented above or below the image capture element, when the modifier icons of the modifier carousel are presented in a horizontal line of a plane including the image capture element.
Referring again to
As described below in more detail, where the target of the selection is clear (e.g., a selection proximate to a potential object of interest), the identification component 230 identifies a modifier category (e.g., a filter category, a lens category, or a category for a set of add-on graphical elements) or an activator type for the target. For example, where the selection indicates a face, components of the image capture system 160 may identify “face” as the modifier category or activator type. Activator types may include a code entered for a specified modifier, a natural feature tracking (NFT), a face, a surface, air, or any other suitable activator type. In some embodiments, to determine user intent, components of the image capture system first use the modifier category matching the target, and then use other rules, characteristics or categories, in a descending order.
In some instances, to determine the modifier context, the context component 220 performs one or more sub-operations. In some embodiments, components of the image capture system 160 identify one or more context indicators. The context indicators may be understood as signals, aspects, attributes, or characteristics surrounding the initial selection which provide information about that selection. In some embodiments, the context indicator may relate to a context of the client device 110. The context of the client device 110 may indicate a location or use of the client device 110 at the time of selection. In some instances, these device related context indicators may comprise any one or more of a geolocation of the computing device (e.g., the client device 110); a time of day; a set of weather data; or any other suitable information relating to a time, place, or other context of using the client device 110. The context indicators may relate to a type of usage of the client device 110. In some embodiments, usage type context indicators may comprise a face depicted within the field of view; a plurality of faces depicted within the field of view; a specified person of a set of predetermined people depicted within the field of view; a natural feature tracking identification; a representative symbol identifying an entity, an event, or a product; a sponsorship; an orientation of the computing device; a movement of the computing device; an object type depicted within the field of view; an unlock code applied to a specified modifier; an image capture device position relative to the computing device; a modifier popularity score; and combinations thereof. The context indicators may also comprise combinations of the client device 110 context and use contexts.
After determining the context indicators, the context component 220 determines the modifier context based on one or more of the selection, the positions of the selection, and the one or more context indicators. As discussed above, the context indicator may be user interface information, device information, or other information indicating a suggested context of modifier usage. The context component 220 may use the selection, the position of the selection, and the context indicators to determine the modifier context by identifying keywords associated with each of the selection, the position, and the context indicators and compare the keywords with a set of keywords associated with a set of modifier contexts. The modifier contexts may be a set of categories assigned to filters or other modifiers to be applied to the image, video stream, or real-time field of view captured by the image capture device and presented on a display of the client device 110.
In embodiments where components of the image capture system 160 determine and identify objects of interest within the field of view, the context component 220 determines the modifier context based on the selection (e.g., the selection received in operation 310), the position of the selection within the user interface, and the identification of the object of interest. Where the context component 220 determines and identifies a plurality of objects of interest, the context component 220 determines the modifier context based on the selection, the position of the selection, and the identifications of at least one of the plurality of objects of interest. For example, the context component 220 may determine the modifier context as a modifier context applicable to all of the plurality of objects of interest or a portion thereof. The context component 220 may select a modifier context for faces, where the plurality of objects of interest are people or faces depicted within the field of view of the image capture device. Where differing types of objects of interest are identified, the context component 220 may select a modifier context associated with a majority of the plurality of objects of interest. The context component 220 may also select a modifier context associated with a theme or attribute common to multiple different types of objects of interest included in the plurality of objects of interest.
In operation 330, the identification component 230 identifies at least one set of modifiers based on the modifier context. In some embodiments, a modifier is an image filter, a digital lens, a set of add-on graphical elements, or any other suitable visual effect or modification which may be applied to at least a portion of an image, video stream, or real time or live field of view of an image capture device. The image, video stream, or field of view of the image capture device is presented within the user interface presented by the image capture system 160. In some embodiments, after selection of a modifier of the at least one set of modifiers, as will be described in more detail below, the image, video stream, or field of view of the image capture device may be modified to include the modifier or a visual or audio effect of the modifier within the image, video stream, or field of view prior to or while the image, video stream, or field of view is being presented and captured. The set of modifiers comprises one or more modifiers for the image capture device and a modifier icon for each modifier of the set of modifiers. Tables 1 and 2 show an example of modifier types available for selection. Each modifier type or set of modifiers may comprise a plurality of distinct modifiers. Tables 1 and 2 also provide category information (e.g., lens mode, lens type, content) and context indicators (e.g., camera type, activation type, launch type, initialization type, and camera swap).
In some instances, the identification component 230 identifies the set of modifiers (e.g., a single set of modifiers or a plurality of sets of modifiers) by comparing or matching the modifier context (e.g., an identified lens, modifier, or filter category or activator type) to a modifier category associated with one or more modifiers in the set of modifiers. In some instances, the identification component 230 identifies the set of modifiers as a set of modifiers having a common modifier category or a set of related modifier categories. In some embodiments, the identification component 230 identifies the set of modifiers individually, composing the set of modifiers based on individually identifying one or more modifiers based on the modifier context.
In some embodiments, each modifier is associated with at least one modifier category. Filter or modifier categories may be modifier contexts or may be a category label associated with at least one modifier context. In some instances, modifier categories are descriptive identifiers common to modifiers included within a specified set. For example, modifier categories may include face modifiers, atmospheric modifiers, ground modifiers, face swapping modifiers, emotion modifiers, costume modifiers, or any other suitable categorical organization and description of a modifier. Where new modifiers are added to the image capture system 160 for incorporation into a set of modifiers, the modifier is received by the receiver component 210. The modifier is associated with at least one modifier category indicating at least one context indicator triggering identification of the modifier. The at least one context indicator may be one or more of an object of interest and sensor data. In some instances, the context indicator may be the modifier context. In embodiments where the context indicator is not the modifier context, the context indicator may be used, at least in part, to determine or derive the modifier context.
In some embodiments, modifier categories for a specified modifier may include a first modifier category and a second modifier category. The first modifier category indicates a primary context indicator associated with the modifier. The second modifier category indicates a secondary context indicator associated with the modifier. The modifier may be identified and displayed upon detection of one or more of the first modifier category and the second modifier category.
In operation 340, in response to identifying the set of modifiers (e.g., a single set of modifiers or a plurality of sets of modifiers), the order component 240 determines an order for the set of modifiers based on the modifier context. In some embodiments, modifiers (e.g., filters, lenses, or a set of add-on graphical elements) have a primary modifier category and one or more secondary modifier categories. The primary modifier category is the modifier category of the modifier. The one or more secondary modifier category indicates modifier categories with which the modifier may be compatible. The primary modifier category may be related to the secondary modifier categories, such that the primary modifier category indicates the one or more secondary modifier categories which are compatible with the first modifier category. In these instances, modifiers, of the set of modifiers, having a primary category which matches the modifier context are displayed first in the modifier carousel. For example, with modifier categories including selfie, air, ground, logo, and mural, each category may define one or more other categories compatible with the specified category. Further, the interrelation of categories may be used to surface the order of modifier s. As shown in Table 3, individual categories may include an ordered list of secondary categories used to generate the order.
As shown in the example of Table 3, when a selection indicates a modifier context of a face (e.g., a modifier category of Selfie), the identification component 230 or the order component 240 may select modifiers associated with categories of selfie, ground, and air. After selection of the modifiers, the order component 240 may generate an order for modifiers of the set of modifiers such that modifiers associated with a primary modifier category of selfie are placed first and modifiers having a primary modifier category of ground or air may be placed later. Further, modifiers included in the order which are associated with the ordered list of secondary categories (e.g., shown in Table 3) may be subject to inclusion based on public availability in a geographic area.
In some instances, the secondary categories and their respective orders, as shown in Table 3, may be modified for each modifier category, as shown in Table 4.
In some embodiments, the identification and order of modifiers included in the one or more set of modifiers uses a user intent as a primary ordering mechanism and includes additional modifiers appended to the end of the set of modifiers. For example, the intent of the user may be a primary ordering characteristic. In this example, receiving a selection of the sky in a field of view of the image capture device causes the image capture system 160 to select and order modifiers for the sky first in the modifier carousel. Filters surfaced according to the primary ordering characteristic may be primary intent modifiers X1-Xn. The image capture system 160 appends additional modifiers to the end of the ordered list of primary intent modifiers X1-Xn. For example, selecting a logo may cause the image capture system 160 to surface modifiers associated with the logo as well as world modifiers. World modifiers may be surfaced to increase discoverability of other modifiers in the image capture system 160 and to provide a consistent user interface experience.
In these embodiments, the set of modifiers and order of the modifiers may be determined first using an indication of user intent, surfacing and prioritizing primary intent modifiers, described above. In some instances, the primary intent modifiers may be surfaced and ordered in a manner similar to or the same as described for operations 330 and 340. The image capture system 160, in ordering the modifiers, may determine whether the set of modifiers includes a modifier associated with a specific geolocation and place the geolocation modifier in a first position. Where the set of modifiers also includes a sponsored modifier, the sponsored modifier may be placed in a second position. The remaining modifiers of the set of modifiers may be positioned in positioned occurring after the sponsored modifier. The remaining modifiers may be ordered using a ranking algorithm such as newest first, a popularity based ordering algorithm, a characteristic based ordering algorithm, or any other suitable ranking or ordering scheme. After a final modifier in the set of modifiers, the image capture system 160 may append one or more world modifiers. The world modifiers may be ordered using the same or similar rules for ordering modifiers as described above. In some instances, NFT modifiers triggered by selection on a logo or other explicitly identified mark or representation may be included in the group of appended world modifiers where the NFT modifier satisfies a geolocation element.
In operation 350, in response to identification of the set of modifiers, as a group or individually, and determining the order for the modifiers, the presentation component 270 causes presentation of the modifier icons for the set of modifiers within the user interface. The modifier icons are presented as selectable user interface elements within the user interface. In some embodiments, the modifier icons are positioned in a portion of the user interface outside of the field of view of the image capture device included within the user interface. In some instances, the modifier icons are positioned within a portion of the field of view of the image capture device. As shown in
As shown in
In some embodiments, modifiers or modifier icons within a modifier category group are ordered according to a set of rules. The set of rules may comprise a priority determination, a sponsorship determination, and an unlock determination. The priority determination may be determined using a priority value assigned to each modifier. For example, a sponsorship determination may assign a modifier a priority value of zero, indicating a highest priority, such that a sponsored modifier appears first in the order. The unlock determination may receive a second priority value, such that after scanning or inputting a code to unlock a modifier, where the unlocked modifier is surfaced for inclusion in the set of modifiers, the unlocked modifier is presented at a position after a sponsored modifier, but before other modifiers which are neither sponsored or unlocked. In some instances, geolocation is used to unlock a modifier. In these instances, a geolocation modifier may be treated as an unlocked modifier. Although described with respect to an example set of rules, it should be understood that any number or relation of rules may be used such as rules for logos, geolocation, weather, multiple objects, and other suitable rules.
In operation 1410, the identification component 230 determines a set of identifications for a set of objects of interest depicted within the field of view of the image capture device. In some embodiments, each identification corresponds to an object of interest of the set of objects of interest. The identification component 230 may determine the set of identifications in a manner similar to or the same as described above with respect to operation 310. For example, the identification component 230 may determine characteristics of the objects of interest within the field of view. Based on the characteristics of each object of interest, the identification component 230 may determine an identification. The identifications of each object of interest may be grouped together as the set of identifications for the set of objects of interest.
In operation 1420, the identification component 230 identifies the first set of modifiers based on the modifier context and at least one identification of the set of identifications. In some embodiments, the first set of modifiers has a first compatibility value. The first compatibility value indicates a compatibility of the first set of modifiers to at least one of the object of interest of the set of objects of interest. The first set of modifiers may be identified in a manner similar to or the same as described above with respect to operation 330.
In operation 1430, the identification component 230 identifies a second set of modifiers based on the modifier context and at least one identification of the set of identifications. In some embodiments, the second set of identifiers has a second compatibility value. The second compatibility value may indicate a compatibility of the second set of modifiers to at least one of the objects of interest of the set of objects of interest. The second set of modifiers may be identified in a manner similar to or the same as described above with respect to operation 330.
In some instances, the second set of modifiers has a third compatibility value. The third compatibility value may indicate a compatibility of the second set of modifiers with the at least one object of interest determined to be compatible with the first set of modifiers. The third compatibility value may be less than the first compatibility value.
In operation 1440, the order component 240 determines an order for the first set of modifiers and the second set of modifiers. In some embodiments, the order is determined based on the modifier context and at least a portion of the identifications of the set of objects of interest. The order component 240 may determine the order for the first set of modifiers and the second set of modifiers in a manner similar to or the same as described above with respect to operation 340. In some embodiments, the order component 240 determines a presentation order for each set of modifiers (e.g., the first set of modifiers and the second set of modifiers). The order component 240 may then select a set of modifiers to be presented first, based on the compatibility values associated with each set of modifiers. The order component 240 may also select the set of modifiers to be presented first based on a relation of a category or type of modifier, associated with each set of modifiers, with the objects of interest to be modified. In some embodiments, the order component 240 determines the order for the first set of modifiers and the second set of modifiers by ordering individual modifiers regardless of a status of the modifier as being associated with the first set of modifiers or the second set of modifiers.
In embodiments where the identification component 230 identifies a first set of modifiers and a second set of modifiers, the order component 240 determines the order for the first set of modifiers and the second set of modifiers. The order may be determined based on the modifier context and at least a portion of the identifications of the set of objects of interest. In some instances, the order determines the placement of the modifiers of the first set of modifiers with respect to the modifiers of the second set of modifiers. In some embodiments, the order determines an order for modifiers within each set. In these instances, modifiers within a set of modifiers may be reordered or repositioned based on the modifier context and identifications of the objects of interest.
As described above, in some instances, the identification component 230 surfaces and the order component 240 orders multiple sets of modifiers (e.g., each set of modifiers associated with a distinct modifier category). The order component 240 may surface up to a predetermined number of modifiers per set of modifiers. For example, where three sets of modifiers are surfaced, each associated with a different modifier category, a first set of modifiers may include X modifiers, a second set of modifiers may include Y modifiers, and a third set of modifiers may include Z modifiers. In some instances, X, Y, and Z are the same number. Where a modifier category includes a lower number of modifiers, two or more of the sets of modifiers may include the same number of modifiers, while the third set of modifiers includes a lower number of modifiers.
In some instances, a modifier may be associated with more than one modifier category. Where two or more modifier categories cause a single modifier to be included in two or more sets of modifiers surfaced by the identification component 230 or the order component 240, the components of the image capture system 160 may eliminate the modifier from one or more sets of modifiers based on the modifier context. In some instances, elimination of the modifier may be temporary and applied to a specified set of modifiers (e.g., the first set of modifiers or the second set of modifiers) to preclude duplication of modifiers or modifier icons. In some embodiments, the modifier icon, for a modifier with two categories, may be placed at a junction between the first set of modifiers and the second set of modifiers. The modifier icon with two categories may then serve as a union point for the two sets of modifiers or preclude duplicate presentation of the modifier.
In operation 1450, the presentation component 270 causes presentation of at least a portion of a first set of modifier icons. The presentation component 270 may also cause presentation of at least a portion of a second set of modifier icons. Each modifier icon of the first set of modifier icons may correspond to a modifier of the first set of modifiers. Each modifier icon of the second set of modifier icons may correspond to a modifier of the second set of modifiers. The presentation component 270 may cause presentation of the portion of modifier icons in a manner similar to or the same as described above with respect to operation 350.
In some embodiments, where the image capture system 160 identifies a first set of modifiers and a second set of modifiers, the presentation component 270 causes presentation of a first set of modifier icons and at least a portion of a second set of modifier icons. Each modifier icon of the first set of modifier icons corresponds to a modifier of the first set of modifiers. Each modifier icon of the second set of modifier icons corresponds to a modifier of the second set of modifiers. In some embodiments, the combination of first set of modifier icons and second set of modifier icons are presented according to the order determined as described above. In some instances, the order defines an organization and presentation scheme for positioning modifiers within each set of modifiers.
In operation 1510, the interaction component 260 receives a second selection. The second selection comprising selection of a modifier icon presented within the user interface. The second selection may be received after display of the modifiers or modifier icons, as described above with respect to operations 350 or 1450. The interaction component 260 may receive the second selection as a user interface interaction. For example, the interaction component 260 may identify a touchscreen interaction, such as a tap, or a device interaction, such as a mouse click, selecting a portion of the graphical user interface, pixel location, coordinates, or other representation of a part of one of the modifier icons displayed on the graphical user interface.
In operation 1520, the identification component 230 determining a modifier category associated with the modifier represented by the modifier icon. The identification component 230 may determine the modifier category in a manner similar to or the same as described above with respect to operations 320 or 330. The modifier category may be contained in a table, metadata file, or other data structure associated with the modifier icon. Upon selection of the modifier icon, in some embodiments, the identification component 230 performs one or more look-up operations to identify the modifier category, type, or other information associated with the modifier icon.
In operation 1530, the identification component 230 determining an object category associated with an object of interest. The object category may be used, at least in part, to determine the modifier context. The identification component 230 may determine the object category by comparing characteristics of the object of interest or an identifier for the object of interest with known object categories. For example, the identification component 230 may use the characteristics or the identifier as keywords associated with the object of interest. The identification component 230 may then compare the keywords of the object of interest with keywords associated with known object categories in a database associated with the image capture system 160. The identification component 230 may select the object category which contains or is associated with one or more keywords matching keywords for the object of interest. In some embodiments, the identification component 230 determines the object category based on the selection received in operation 310. In such embodiments, a position of the selection may indicate an object category. For example, where the selection is proximate to a face, scenery, or a surface, the identification component 230 may select an object category for faces, air (e.g., scenery), or ground (e.g., surfaces), respectively.
In operation 1540, the identification component 230 determines that the modifier category corresponds to the object category. In some embodiments, the identification component 230 determines the modifier category corresponds to the object category by comparing keywords associated with each of the modifier category and the object category. The identification component 230 may also query a lookup table or other data structure associating modifiers with object categories. Where an object category is assigned to a modifier or a modifier category within the data structure, the identification component 230 may determine a correspondence between the modifier category and the object category. Although described with respect to specified example embodiments, it should be understood that the identification component 230 may determine the correspondence in any suitable manner.
In operation 1550, the presentation component 270 applies the modifier associated with the modifier icon which is indicated by the second selection. The presentation component 270 may apply the modifier in response to the identification component 230 determining the modifier category corresponds to the object category. In some embodiments, the presentation component 270 applies the modifier by changing, editing, correcting, removing components, adding components, or otherwise modifying at least one aspect of the image or video stream associated with the object of interest. For example, where the object of interest is a face, the presentation component 270 may modify a depiction of the face (e.g., applying cat cars and nose) in the image or in a real-time video stream as the video stream is being captured by the image capture system 160.
In operation 1610, the interaction component 260 receives a second selection of a modifier icon presented within the user interface. The interaction component 260 may receive the second selection of the modifier icon in a manner similar to or the same as described above with respect to operation 1510. The selection may be received in the form of a user interaction with one or more of a graphical user interface, an input component of a client device 110, a visual cue, an audio cue, or any other suitable selection method.
In operation 1620, the identification component 230 determines a modifier category associated with the modifier represented by the modifier icon. In some embodiments, the identification component 230 determines the modifier category in a manner similar to or the same as described above with respect to operation 1520. For example, the identification component 230 may determine the modifier category based on the interaction component 260 passing the modifier category to the identification component 230 upon receipt of the second selection. The identification component 230 may also access one or more data structures associated with the modification icon to query, search, or otherwise look-up the modifier category for the modifier icon.
In operation 1630, the identification component 230 determines a first object category associated with a first object of interest. The identification component 230 also determines a second object category associated with a second object of interest. The first object of interest may be used, at least in part, to determine the modifier context. The first object category may be determined in a manner similar to or the same as described above with respect to operation 1530, for the first object of interest.
In operation 1640, the identification component 230 determines the modifier category corresponds to a second object category. In this instance, the identification component 230 determines that the selected modifier corresponds to an object of interest, depicted in the field of view, which is different than the object of interest used to identify the modifiers associated with the modifier icons. In some embodiments, the identification component 230 determines the keywords for the modifier category fail to match keywords associated with the first object category. The identification component 230 may also determine the modifier category corresponds to the second object category by querying a data structure associated with the modifier icon or the modifier category. The identification component 230 may identify, within the data structure, that the second object category is associated or assigned to the modifier category. In such embodiments, the first object category may not be associated with the modifier category.
In operation 1650, the presentation component 270 generates a representation graphic. In some embodiments, the representation graphic indicates the second object of interest identified within the field of view of the image capture device by the selection. The representation graphic may include a mesh overlaid on the second object of interest. For example, where the first object of interest is a face, with a mesh previously generated and displayed for the face, the second object of interest may be an area (e.g., air or sky) depicted near the face. Upon determining the modifier category for the area is different than the modifier category for the face, the presentation component 270 may generate and present the mesh in a manner similar to that shown in
In some instances, the user interface is divided among differing display areas. The display areas may correspond to specified interaction operations suitable for the display area. For example, a portion of the user interface may be limited to interaction with lenses, modifiers, or filters, after a set of modifiers or a portion of a set of modifiers has been displayed. A portion of the user interface may be configured to change modes of operation between image capture, display, playback, and other suitable operative modes. In some instances, specified user interactions may be allowed in any area of the user interface. For example, in some instances a double tap within the user interface may cause the computing device to switch image capture input (e.g., switching between image capture devices forward and rear). By way of further example, a single tap may capture a still image, while a sustained touch may capture a video. Further examples include a tap, causing the image capture device to focus the field of view on the tapped location.
After selection of a modifier, the second selection, a subsequent selection may perform one or more operations. In some embodiments, a subsequent selection causes a change from a front facing image capture device to a rear facing image capture device may retain the modifiers presented within the modifier carousel, as determined in the methods 300, 1400, 1500, or 1600. The modifier in the changed image capture mode may operate as normal or previously operable.
A modifier context may cause subsequent selections to operate differently where the subsequent selection causes a change in the modifier context or indicates a combined context. For example, where a face and air lens (e.g., causing modification of both a face and air or an atmosphere around the face), as shown in Tables 1-4, is operating and a subsequent selection causes a change from a front image capture device to a rear image capture device, the field of view may be modified to represent an active view of the previously selected modifier (e.g., lens, filter, or set of add-on graphical elements). For example, if a user has selected a modifier generating an overlay of an old man smoking which modifies a face depicted within the field of view, a subsequent selection may change the camera view from the front image capture device to a rear image capture device. Upon change in the camera view, the field of view of the currently operative image capture device is presented in the context of the old man smoking, acting as a first-person point of view. In these instances, the modifier carousel may remain in an unaltered state, prior to the subsequent selection.
Modules, Components, and Logic
Certain embodiments are described herein as including logic or a number of components, modules, or mechanisms. Components can constitute hardware components. A “hardware component” is a tangible unit capable of performing certain operations and can be configured or arranged in a certain physical manner. In various example embodiments, computer systems (e.g., a standalone computer system, a client computer system, or a server computer system) or hardware components of a computer system (e.g., at least one hardware processor, a processor, or a group of processors) is configured by software (e.g., an application or application portion) as a hardware component that operates to perform certain operations as described herein.
In some embodiments, a hardware component is implemented mechanically, electronically, or any suitable combination thereof. For example, a hardware component can include dedicated circuitry or logic that is permanently configured to perform certain operations. For example, a hardware component can be a special-purpose processor, such as a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) or an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). A hardware component may also include programmable logic or circuitry that is temporarily configured by software to perform certain operations. For example, a hardware component can include software encompassed within a general-purpose processor or other programmable processor. It will be appreciated that the decision to implement a hardware component mechanically, in dedicated and permanently configured circuitry, or in temporarily configured circuitry (e.g., configured by software) can be driven by cost and time considerations.
Accordingly, the phrase “hardware component” should be understood to encompass a tangible entity, be that an entity that is physically constructed, permanently configured (e.g., hardwired), or temporarily configured (e.g., programmed) to operate in a certain manner or to perform certain operations described herein. As used herein, “hardware-implemented component” refers to a hardware component. Considering embodiments in which hardware components are temporarily configured (e.g., programmed), each of the hardware components need not be configured or instantiated at any one instance in time. For example, where a hardware component comprises a general-purpose processor configured by software to become a special-purpose processor, the general-purpose processor may be configured as respectively different special-purpose processors (e.g., comprising different hardware components) at different times. Software can accordingly configure a particular processor or processors, for example, to constitute a particular hardware component at one instance of time and to constitute a different hardware component at a different instance of time.
Hardware components can provide information to, and receive information from, other hardware components. Accordingly, the described hardware components can be regarded as being communicatively coupled. Where multiple hardware components exist contemporaneously, communications can be achieved through signal transmission (e.g., over appropriate circuits and buses) between or among two or more of the hardware components. In embodiments in which multiple hardware components are configured or instantiated at different times, communications between such hardware components may be achieved, for example, through the storage and retrieval of information in memory structures to which the multiple hardware components have access. For example, one hardware component performs an operation and stores the output of that operation in a memory device to which it is communicatively coupled. A further hardware component can then, at a later time, access the memory device to retrieve and process the stored output. Hardware components can also initiate communications with input or output devices, and can operate on a resource (e.g., a collection of information).
The various operations of example methods described herein can be performed, at least partially, by processors that are temporarily configured (e.g., by software) or permanently configured to perform the relevant operations. Whether temporarily or permanently configured, such processors constitute processor-implemented components that operate to perform operations or functions described herein. As used herein, “processor-implemented component” refers to a hardware component implemented using processors.
Similarly, the methods described herein can be at least partially processor-implemented, with a particular processor or processors being an example of hardware. For example, at least some of the operations of a method can be performed by processors or processor-implemented components. Moreover, the processors may also operate to support performance of the relevant operations in a “cloud computing” environment or as a “software as a service” (SaaS). For example, at least some of the operations may be performed by a group of computers (as examples of machines including processors), with these operations being accessible via a network (e.g., the Internet) and via appropriate interfaces (e.g., an Application Program Interface (API)).
The performance of certain of the operations may be distributed among the processors, not only residing within a single machine, but deployed across a number of machines. In some example embodiments, the processors or processor-implemented components are located in a single geographic location (e.g., within a home environment, an office environment, or a server farm). In other example embodiments, the processors or processor-implemented components are distributed across a number of geographic locations.

In another example, the mobile device 1700 includes a social messaging app 1710 such as SNAPCHAT® that, consistent with some embodiments, allows users to exchange ephemeral messages that include media content. In this example, the social messaging app 1710 can incorporate aspects of embodiments described herein. For example, in some embodiments the social messaging application includes an ephemeral gallery of media created by users the social messaging application. These galleries may consist of videos or pictures posted by a user and made viewable by contacts (e.g., “friends”) of the user. Alternatively, public galleries may be created by administrators of the social messaging application consisting of media from any users of the application (and accessible by all users). In yet another embodiment, the social messaging application may include a “magazine” feature which consists of articles and other content generated by publishers on the social messaging application's platform and accessible by any users. Any of these environments or platforms may be used to implement concepts of the present invention.
In some embodiments, an ephemeral message system may include messages having ephemeral video clips or images which are deleted following a deletion trigger event such as a viewing time or viewing completion. In such embodiments, a device implementing the image capture system 160 may identify, track, extract, and generate representations of a face within the ephemeral video clip, as the ephemeral video clip is being captured by the device and transmit the ephemeral video clip to another device using the ephemeral message system.

The operating system 1804 includes, for example, a kernel 1820, services 1822, and drivers 1824. The kernel 1820 acts as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the other software layers consistent with some embodiments. For example, the kernel 1820 provides memory management, processor management (e.g., scheduling), component management, networking, and security settings, among other functionality. The services 1822 can provide other common services for the other software layers.

BLUETOOTH® drivers, flash memory drivers, serial communication drivers (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB) drivers), WI-FI® drivers, audio drivers, power management drivers, and so forth.
In some embodiments, the libraries 1806 provide a low-level common infrastructure utilized by the applications 1810. The libraries 1806 can include system libraries 1830 (e.g., C standard library) that can provide functions such as memory allocation functions, string manipulation functions, mathematic functions, and the like. In addition, the libraries 1806 can include API libraries 1832 such as media libraries (e.g., libraries to support presentation and manipulation of various media formats such as Moving Picture Experts Group-4 (MPEG4). Advanced Video Coding (H.264 or AVC). Moving Picture Experts Group Layer-3 (MP3), Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) audio codec, Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG or JPG), or Portable Network Graphics (PNG)), graphics libraries (e.g., an OpenGL framework used to render in two dimensions (2D) and three dimensions (3D) in a graphic content on a display), database libraries (e.g., SQLite to provide various relational database functions), web libraries (e.g., WebKit to provide web browsing functionality), and the like. The libraries 1806 can also include a wide variety of other libraries 1834 to provide many other APIs to the applications 1810.
The frameworks 1808 provide a high-level common infrastructure that can be utilized by the applications 1810, according to some embodiments. For example, the frameworks 1808 provide various graphic user interface (GUI) functions, high-level resource management, high-level location services, and so forth. The frameworks 1808 can provide a broad spectrum of other APIs that can be utilized by the applications 1810, some of which may be specific to a particular operating system or platform.
In an example embodiment, the applications 1810 include a home application 1850, a contacts application 1852, a browser application 1854, a book reader application 1856, a location application 1858, a media application 1860, a messaging application 1862, a game application 1864, and a broad assortment of other applications such as a third-party application 1866. According to some embodiments, the applications 1810 are programs that execute functions defined in the programs. Various programming languages can be employed to create the applications 1810, structured in a variety of manners, such as object-oriented programming languages (e.g., Objective-C, Java, or C++) or procedural programming languages (e.g., C or assembly language). In a specific example, the third-party application 1866 (e.g., an application developed using the ANDROID™ or IOS™ software development kit (SDK) by an entity other than the vendor of the particular platform) may be mobile software running on a mobile operating system such as IOS™, ANDROID™. WINDOWS® PHONE, or another mobile operating systems. In this example, the third-party application 1866 can invoke the API calls 1812 provided by the operating system 1804 to facilitate functionality described herein.
Example Machine Architecture and Machine-Readable Medium
In various embodiments, the machine 1900 comprises processors 1910, memory 1930, and I/O components 1950, which can be configured to communicate with each other via a bus 1902. In an example embodiment, the processors 1910 (e.g., a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) processor, a Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) processor, a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC), another processor, or any suitable combination thereof) includes, for example, a processor 1912 and a processor 1914 that may execute the instructions 1916. The term “processor” is intended to include multi-core processors that may comprise two or more independent processors (also referred to as “cores”) that can execute instructions contemporaneously. Although
The memory 1930 comprises a main memory 1932, a static memory 1934, and a storage unit 1936 accessible to the processors 1910 via the bus 1902, according to some embodiments. The storage unit 1936 can include a machine-readable medium 1938 on which are stored the instructions 1916 embodying any of the methodologies or functions described herein. The instructions 1916 can also reside, completely or at least partially, within the main memory 1932, within the static memory 1934, within at least one of the processors 1910 (e.g., within the processor's cache memory), or any suitable combination thereof, during execution thereof by the machine 1900. Accordingly, in various embodiments, the main memory 1932, the static memory 1934, and the processors 1910 are considered machine-readable media 1938.
As used herein, the term “memory” refers to a machine-readable medium 1938 able to store data temporarily or permanently and may be taken to include, but not be limited to, random-access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), buffer memory, flash memory, and cache memory. While the machine-readable medium 1938 is shown in an example embodiment to be a single medium, the term “machine-readable medium” should be taken to include a single medium or multiple media (e.g., a centralized or distributed database, or associated caches and servers) able to store the instructions 1916. The term “machine-readable medium” shall also be taken to include any medium, or combination of multiple media, that is capable of storing instructions (e.g., instructions 1916) for execution by a machine (e.g., machine 1900), such that the instructions, when executed by processors of the machine 1900 (e.g., processors 1910), cause the machine 1900 to perform any of the methodologies described herein. Accordingly, a “machine-readable medium” refers to a single storage apparatus or device, as well as “cloud-based” storage systems or storage networks that include multiple storage apparatus or devices. The term “machine-readable medium” shall accordingly be taken to include, but not be limited to, data repositories in the form of a solid-state memory (e.g., flash memory), an optical medium, a magnetic medium, other non-volatile memory (e.g., Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM)), or any suitable combination thereof. The term “machine-readable medium” specifically excludes non-statutory signals per se.
The I/O components 1950 include a wide variety of components to receive input, provide output, produce output, transmit information, exchange information, capture measurements, and so on. In general, it will be appreciated that the I/O components 1950 can include many other components that are not shown in
In some further example embodiments, the I/O components 1950 include biometric components 1956, motion components 1958, environmental components 1960, or position components 1962, among a wide array of other components. For example, the biometric components 1956 include components to detect expressions (e.g., hand expressions, facial expressions, vocal expressions, body gestures, or mouth gestures), measure biosignals (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, perspiration, or brain waves), identify a person (e.g., voice identification, retinal identification, facial identification, fingerprint identification, or electroencephalogram based identification), and the like. The motion components 1958 include acceleration sensor components (e.g., accelerometer), gravitation sensor components, rotation sensor components (e.g., gyroscope), and so forth. The environmental components 1960 include, for example, illumination sensor components (e.g., photometer), temperature sensor components (e.g., thermometers that detect ambient temperature), humidity sensor components, pressure sensor components (e.g., barometer), acoustic sensor components (e.g., microphones that detect background noise), proximity sensor components (e.g., infrared sensors that detect nearby objects), gas sensor components (e.g., machine olfaction detection sensors, gas detection sensors to detect concentrations of hazardous gases for safety or to measure pollutants in the atmosphere), or other components that may provide indications, measurements, or signals corresponding to a surrounding physical environment.

Communication can be implemented using a wide variety of technologies. The I/O components 1950 may include communication components 1964 operable to couple the machine 1900 to a network 1980 or devices 1970 via a coupling 1982 and a coupling 1972, respectively. For example, the communication components 1964 include a network interface component or another suitable device to interface with the network 1980. In further examples, communication components 1964 include wired communication components, wireless communication components, cellular communication components. Near Field Communication (NFC) components, BLUETOOTH® components (e.g., BLUETOOTH® Low Energy), WI-FI® components, and other communication components to provide communication via other modalities. The devices 1970 may be another machine or any of a wide variety of peripheral devices (e.g., a peripheral device coupled via a Universal Serial Bus (USB)).
Moreover, in some embodiments, the communication components 1964 detect identifiers or include components operable to detect identifiers. For example, the communication components 1964 include Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag reader components, NFC smart tag detection components, optical reader components (e.g., an optical sensor to detect a one-dimensional bar codes such as a Universal Product Code (UPC) bar code, multi-dimensional bar codes such as a Quick Response (QR) code, Aztec Code. Data Matrix, Dataglyph. MaxiCode, PDF417. Ultra Code, Uniform Commercial Code Reduced Space Symbology (UCC RSS)-2D bar codes, and other optical codes), acoustic detection components (e.g., microphones to identify tagged audio signals), or any suitable combination thereof. In addition, a variety of information can be derived via the communication components 1964, such as location via Internet Protocol (IP) geolocation, location via WI-FI® signal triangulation, location via detecting a BLUETOOTH® or NFC beacon signal that may indicate a particular location, and so forth.
Transmission Medium
In various example embodiments, portions of the network 1980 can be an ad hoc network, an intranet, an extranet, a virtual private network (VPN), a local area network (LAN), a wireless LAN (WLAN), a wide area network (WAN), a wireless WAN (WWAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), the Internet, a portion of the Internet, a portion of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), a plain old telephone service (POTS) network, a cellular telephone network, a wireless network, a WI-FI® network, another type of network, or a combination of two or more such networks. For example, the network 1980 or a portion of the network 1980 may include a wireless or cellular network, and the coupling 1982 may be a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) connection, a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) connection, or another type of cellular or wireless coupling. In this example, the coupling 1982 can implement any of a variety of types of data transfer technology, such as Single Carrier Radio Transmission Technology (1×RTT), Evolution-Data Optimized (EVDO) technology, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) technology, Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) technology, third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) including 3G, fourth generation wireless (4G) networks, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard, others defined by various standard-setting organizations, other long range protocols, or other data transfer technology.
In example embodiments, the instructions 1916 are transmitted or received over the network 1980 using a transmission medium via a network interface device (e.g., a network interface component included in the communication components 1964) and utilizing any one of a number of well-known transfer protocols (e.g., Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)). Similarly, in other example embodiments, the instructions 1916 are transmitted or received using a transmission medium via the coupling 1972 (e.g., a peer-to-peer coupling) to the devices 1970. The term “transmission medium” shall be taken to include any intangible medium that is capable of storing, encoding, or carrying the instructions 1916 for execution by the machine 1900, and includes digital or analog communications signals or other intangible media to facilitate communication of such software.
Furthermore, the machine-readable medium 1938 is non-transitory (in other words, not having any transitory signals) in that it does not embody a propagating signal. However, labeling the machine-readable medium 1938 “non-transitory” should not be construed to mean that the medium is incapable of movement; the medium should be considered as being transportable from one physical location to another. Additionally, since the machine-readable medium 1938 is tangible, the medium may be considered to be a machine-readable device.
Language
Throughout this specification, plural instances may implement components, operations, or structures described as a single instance. Although individual operations of methods are illustrated and described as separate operations, individual operations may be performed concurrently, and nothing requires that the operations be performed in the order illustrated. Structures and functionality presented as separate components in example configurations may be implemented as a combined structure or component. Similarly, structures and functionality presented as a single component may be implemented as separate components. These and other variations, modifications, additions, and improvements fall within the scope of the subject matter herein.
Although an overview of the inventive subject matter has been described with reference to specific example embodiments, various modifications and changes may be made to these embodiments without departing from the broader scope of embodiments of the present disclosure. Such embodiments of the inventive subject matter may be referred to herein, individually or collectively, by the term “invention” merely for convenience and without intending to voluntarily limit the scope of this application to any single disclosure or inventive concept if more than one is, in fact, disclosed.
The embodiments illustrated herein are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the teachings disclosed. Other embodiments may be used and derived therefrom, such that structural and logical substitutions and changes may be made without departing from the scope of this disclosure. The Detailed Description, therefore, is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of various embodiments is defined only by the appended claims, along with the full range of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
As used herein, the term “or” may be construed in either an inclusive or exclusive sense. Moreover, plural instances may be provided for resources, operations, or structures described herein as a single instance. Additionally, boundaries between various resources, operations, components, engines, and data stores are somewhat arbitrary, and particular operations are illustrated in a context of specific illustrative configurations. Other allocations of functionality are envisioned and may fall within a scope of various embodiments of the present disclosure. In general, structures and functionality presented as separate resources in the example configurations may be implemented as a combined structure or resource. Similarly, structures and functionality presented as a single resource may be implemented as separate resources. These and other variations, modifications, additions, and improvements fall within a scope of embodiments of the present disclosure as represented by the appended claims. The specification and drawings are, accordingly, to be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.
This application claims the priority benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/418,586 entitled “SELECTIVE IDENTIFICATION AND ORDER OF IMAGE MODIFIERS.” filed Nov. 7, 2016, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
