Abstract

A file selection system includes a camera, a storage system, and a processing unit. The processing unit receives an image from the camera to find a key portion in the image, obtain coordinates of the key portion in the image, determine the coordinates of the key portion in the image to obtain a location status, and select one group of files according to the location status. The selected group of files is displayed by the electronic device.

Claims

1. A file selection system comprising:

a camera to capture an image;

a processing unit; and

a storage system connected to the processing unit and storing a plurality of modules to be executed by the processing unit, wherein the plurality of modules comprise;

a detecting module to receive the image from the camera to find a key portion in the image, and obtain coordinates of the key portion in the image;

a location processing module to determine the coordinates of the key portion in the image to obtain a location status, wherein the location status is a location relationship between the key portion and a plane defined by viewing area of a screen of an electronic device;

a selecting module to select a group of files from a plurality of groups of files with different shooting angles according to the location status, wherein the selected files are displayed by the electronic device.

2. The file selection system of claim 1, wherein the storage system further comprises a file storing module, the plurality of groups of files with different shooting angles are stored in the file storing module.

3. The file selection system of claim 1, wherein the storage system further comprises a relationship storing module, the relationship storing module stores a plurality of relationships between the location status and the plurality of groups of images.

4. The file selection system of claim 1, wherein the key portion is a face.

5. The file selection system of claim 1, wherein the location relationship between the key portion and the electronic device is an angle between a line from a center of the key portion to a center of a screen of the electronic device and the plane of the screen of the electronic device.

6. The file selection system of claim 1, wherein each group of files comprises a plurality of files being captured at different times.

7. The file selection system of claim 7, wherein upon the condition that the detecting module finds the key portion in the image when the electronic device is displaying one group of files, the selecting module selects a file in another group of files which is shoot at a next time.

8. A file selecting method comprising:

capturing an image;

detecting the image to find a key portion in the image, and to obtain information about the key portion;

determining coordinates of the key portion in the image to obtain a location status, wherein the location status is a location relationship between the key portion and a plane defined by viewing area of a screen of an electronic device; and

selecting one group of files from a plurality of groups of files according to the location status correspondingly.

9. The file selecting method of claim 8, wherein the key portion is a face.

10. The file selecting method of claim 8, wherein the location relationship between the key portion and the electronic device is an angle between a line from a center of the key portion to a center of a screen of the electronic device and the plane of the screen of the electronic device.

11. The file selecting method of claim 8, wherein each group of files comprises a plurality of files being shoot at different times.

12. The file selecting method of claim 11, wherein upon the condition that the key portion is found in the image when the electronic device is displaying one group of files, a file in another group which is captured at a next time is selected.

13. The file selecting method of claim 8, before capturing the image comprising:

storing a plurality of groups of files in a storage system; and

storing a plurality of relationships between the location status and the plurality of groups of files in the storage system.
