Abstract:
Techniques for animating a view of a composite image based on metadata related to the capture of the underlying source images. According to certain implementations, the metadata may include timing or sensor data collected or generated during capture of the component source images. For example, the timing data may indicate an order or sequence in which the source images were captured. Accordingly, the corresponding regions of the composite panoramic image may be panned to in sequence, for example, using the Ken Burns Effect. In another example, sensor data from gyroscopes or accelerometers may be used to simulate the movement of the image capture device used to generate the source images. In another implementation, the source images may be associated with varying focal lengths or zoom levels. Accordingly, certain implementations may vary a level zoom, based on the metadata, while panning between source photos.
Abstract:
In one example, a device includes one or more processors, a presence-sensitive display, and a storage device that stores one or more modules. The modules are executable to, responsive to receiving an indication of a first user input: output, for display, a graphical element including at least one task shortcut from a plurality of task shortcuts for an application, receive an indication of a second user input that selects a particular task shortcut included in the graphical element, and, responsive to receiving the indication of the second user input, output, for display, a shortcut icon for the particular task shortcut within the graphical user interface.
Abstract:
The disclosed technology includes switching between a normal or standard-lens UI and a panoramic or wide-angle photography UI responsive to a zoom gesture. In one implementation, a user gesture corresponding to a “zoom-out” command, when received at a mobile computing device associated with a minimum zoom state, may trigger a switch from a standard lens photo capture UI to a wide-angle photography UI. In another implementation, a user gesture corresponding to a “zoom-in” command, when received at a mobile computing device associated with a nominal wide-angle state, may trigger a switch from a wide-angle photography UI to a standard lens photo capture UI.

Abstract:
A system of configuring a new device may include a new device that is not configured with one or more settings. The new device includes a short range communication transmitter and programming instructions configured to cause the new device to operate in a discoverable mode. The system includes an existing device that is configured with the settings, and that includes a short range communication receiver and programming instructions. The programming instructions are configured to cause the existing device to receive instructions to set up the new device, in response to receiving the instructions, detect, by the short range communication receiver, a presence of the new device by detecting the broadcast signal within a communication range of the short range communication receiver, and in response to detecting the presence of the new device, transmit at least a portion of the one or more settings directly to the new device.
