1. A device comprising:
- a camera unit configured to capture an image;
a display configured to display an overlay and the image; and
a microprocessor configured to perform acts comprising;
processing the image to determine at least one of a brightness level or a color value associated with the image,determining at least one of a transparency level, a brightness level, or a color value for the overlay, as a function of the at least one of the brightness level or the color value associated with the image,generating the overlay for display at the determined at least one of the transparency level, the brightness level, or the color value for the overlay, andcontrolling the display to display the overlay and the image substantially simultaneously.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a camera unit configured to capture an image, and a microprocessor configured to control a display to display the image and an overlay substantially simultaneously. In one broad aspect, at least one of the level of transparency, the brightness level, or the color value of the overlay is determined based on at least one of a representative brightness level or a representative color value associated with the image being displayed.

18. A method of displaying an overlay and an image, comprising:
-
identifying an image to be displayed; processing the image to determine at least one of a brightness level or a color value associated with the image; determining at least one of a transparency level, a brightness level, or a color value for the overlay as a function of the at least one of the brightness level or the color value associated with the image; generating the overlay for display at the determined at least one of the transparency level, the brightness level, or the color value for the overlay; and displaying the overlay and the image substantially simultaneously. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A physical computer-readable storage medium on which a plurality of instructions executable by a processor of a device is stored, the instructions for performing the acts of a method of displaying an overlay and an image, comprising:
-
identifying an image to be displayed; processing the image to determine at least one of a brightness level or a color value associated with the image; determining at least one of a transparency level, a brightness level, or a color value for the overlay as a function of the at least one of the brightness level or the color value associated with the image; generating the overlay for display at the determined at least one of the transparency level, the brightness level, or the color value for the overlay; and displaying the overlay and the image substantially simultaneously.
