IMAGE ALTERATION TECHNIQUES
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving image data for viewing on an electronic device;
detecting the occurrence of at least one device operation event configured to trigger alteration of the image data;
applying at least one image alteration effect to the image data upon the detection of the at least one device operation event, wherein the application of the at least one image alteration effect alters the image data; and
displaying the altered image data on the electronic device using a display device.

Abstract
Various techniques relating to the alteration of image data are provided herein. In generally, disclosed embodiments may provide techniques for applying on or more image alteration effects to image data that is displayed on an electronic device. In certain disclosed embodiments, the application of such image alteration effects may be triggered based upon various detected device operation events, which may include audio-related events, motion-related events, location-related events, and/or events relating the imaging properties. The selection of a triggering device event and a corresponding image alteration affect may be defined by a user through a set of user preference settings on the electronic device.
