First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- detecting, on a touch screen device displaying an image, a pointing device in proximity to a part of the image;
determining an elapsed period of time associated with the proximity of the pointing device to the part, and if the elapsed period of time exceeds a pre-determined time period, activating an exposure control state of the device;
determining an exposure level of the part; and
adjusting an exposure level of the image in a manner that is inverse to the determined exposure level of the part.
