METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTING AND/OR DISPLAYING IMAGES OF PERSPECTIVE VIEWS OF AN OBJECT AT A COMMUNICATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- receive a set of images, each image from the set of images representing a perspective view of an object; and
select a plurality of images from the set of images such that the plurality of images represents a plurality of movements of the object when the plurality of images are displayed within a canvas of a communication device during a time period, the plurality of movements including rotational movement of the object about a first axis during a first portion of the time period, the plurality of movements including rotational movement of the object about a second axis non-parallel to the first axis during a second portion of the time period after the first portion of the time period.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a processor-readable medium can store code representing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to receive a set of images where each image from the set of images represents a perspective view of an object. A plurality of images is selected from the set of images such that the plurality of images represents a plurality of movements of the object when the plurality of images are displayed within a canvas of a communication device during a time period. The plurality of movements includes rotational movement of the object about a first axis during a first portion of the time period. The plurality of movements also includes rotational movement of the object about a second axis non-parallel to the first axis during a second portion of the time period after the first portion of the time period.

9. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a memory configured to store a map of neighbor relationships between images from a set of images, each image from the set of images representing a perspective view of an object; and a processor configured to define, based on the map of neighbor relationships stored in the memory, an order for serially displaying images from a portion of the set of images such that a plurality of movements of the object about at least two non-parallel axes are represented. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
-
receive a set of images including an image of an object in an orientation, an image of the object rotated about a first axis from the orientation, and an image of the object rotated about a second axis from the orientation, the second axis being non-parallel to the first axis; and receive a metadata file including an indicator of a neighbor relationship between the image of the object in the orientation and the image of the object rotated about the first axis, the metadata file including an indicator of a neighbor relationship between the image of the object in the orientation and the image of the object rotated about the second axis, the set of images and the metadata file collectively defining at least a portion of an image resource. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
