Ensuring that video or images are captured at a determined orientation
First Claim
1. A method for capturing video or still images at a determined orientation, via a camera associated with a mobile electronic device, comprising:
- accessing at least some information regarding a desired orientation preference for said mobile electronic device;
accessing at least some information regarding a physical orientation of said mobile electronic device;
comparing said information regarding said physical orientation of said mobile electronic device to said information regarding said desired orientation preference for said mobile electronic device;
determining whether said information regarding said physical orientation of said mobile electronic device matches said information regarding said desired orientation preference for said mobile electronic device, within a determined degree of variance;
enabling, if it is determined that said physical orientation of said mobile electronic device matches said information regarding said desired orientation preference for said mobile electronic device, within said determined degree of variance, capturing of said video or still images, as an input from said camera, at said physical orientation of said mobile electronic device, and displaying said input from said camera, via a display of said mobile electronic device, within a record area representing said orientation and/or aspect ratio at which said video or still images will be captured; and
orienting, if it is determined that said physical orientation of said mobile electronic device does not match said information regarding said desired orientation preference for said mobile electronic device, within said determined degree of variance, an input from said camera, via software embedded within or accessed by said mobile electronic device, such that said video or still images will be captured at said desired orientation preference, and displaying said input from said camera, via said display of said mobile electronic device, as said video or still images will be captured.

Abstract
A method for capturing video or still images at a determined orientation, via a mobile device, including accessing at least some information regarding a desired orientation preference; accessing at least some information regarding an orientation of the mobile device; comparing the information regarding the orientation of the mobile device to the information regarding the desired orientation preference; determining whether the information regarding the orientation of the mobile device matches the information regarding the desired orientation preference, within a degree of variance; disabling, if the information regarding the orientation of the mobile device does not match the desired orientation preference, within the degree of variance, a video or still image capture function of the mobile device; and enabling, if the information regarding the orientation of the mobile device matches the desired orientation preference, within the degree of variance, a video or still image capture function of the mobile device.
