Abstract

A system for creating a pulsating image, comprising an electronic device comprising a camera and configured to communicate with a storage; a designated application running on the electronic device; the designated application comprises: a capturing module configured to communicate with the camera and receive a micro video having predetermined characteristics upon a user request; and a packetizing module configured to receive the micro video, create a pulsating image and a pulsating thumbnail of the pulsating image out of the micro video and packetize the pulsating image and the pulsating thumbnail.

Claims

1. A system for creating a pulsating image, comprising:

an electronic device comprising a camera and configured to communicate with a storage;

a designated application running on said electronic device;

said designated application comprises;

a capturing module configured to communicate with said camera and receive a micro video comprising a plurality of frames upon a user request;

said micro video having predetermined characteristics and a first frame-per-second rate; and

a packetizing module configured to receive said micro video, create a pulsating image having a second frame-per-second rate and a pulsating thumbnail of said pulsating image out of said micro video and packetize said pulsating image and said pulsating thumbnail;

wherein said system is further configured to slow down said second frame-per-second rate of at least part of said plurality of frames.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said designated application further comprises a processing module configured to process said micro video for creating said pulsating image.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein said processing module is configured to create a morphing effect by adding frames between a determined last frame and a determined first frame of said micro video.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein said processing module is configured to perform an image stabilization process.

5. The system of claim 2, wherein said processing module is configured to identify at least one main object and a background and to perform at least one of:

freeze said main object and allow said background to pulsate; and

freeze said background and allow said main object to pulsate.

9. A system for displaying a pulsating image, comprising:

an electronic device configured to communicate with a storage;

said storage comprises at least one packet comprising a pulsating image comprising a plurality of frames and a pulsating thumbnail of said pulsating image; and

a designated application running on said electronic device;

said designated application comprises;

a displaying module configured to display a gallery of said at least one pulsating thumbnail representing a pulsating image to be viewed;

receive a user selection of a pulsating thumbnail;

extract the respective pulsating image according to said selection; and

display said selected pulsating image according to predetermined characteristics and a frame-per-second rate;

wherein said display module is further configured to slow down said frame-per-second rate of at least part of said plurality of frames.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein said designated application further comprises a processing module configured to process said pulsating image before displaying.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein said processing module is configured to create a morphing effect by adding frames between a determined last frame and a determined first frame of said pulsating image.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein said processing module is configured to perform an image stabilization process.

13. The system of claim 10, wherein said processing module is configured to identify at least one main object and a background and to perform at least one of:

freeze said main object and allow said background to pulsate; and

freeze said background and allow said main object to pulsate.

16. The system of claim 9, wherein said predetermined characteristics comprise loop orders;

wherein said loop orders comprise one of;

displaying said pulsating image from the beginning till its end and jumping back to the beginning of said pulsating image; and

displaying said pulsating image from the beginning till its end and from the end backwards to the beginning of said pulsating image.

18. (canceled)

19. A method of creating a pulsating image, comprising:

providing an electronic device comprising a camera and communicating with a storage;

receiving, by a capturing module from said camera, a micro video comprising a plurality of frames upon a user request;

said micro video having predetermined characteristics and a first frame-per-second rate;

processing, by a processing module, said micro video for creating a pulsating image having a second frame-per-second rate and a pulsating thumbnail of said pulsating image;

packetizing, by a packetizing module, said pulsating image and said pulsating thumbnail of said pulsating image;

wherein said packetizing comprises slowing down said second frame-per-second rate of at least part of said plurality of frames; and

saving said packet in said storage.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein said processing comprises creating a morphing effect by adding frames between a determined last frame and a determined first frame of said micro video.

21. The method of claim 19, wherein said processing comprises performing an image stabilization process.

22. The method of claim 19, wherein said processing comprises identifying at least one main object and a background for performing at least one of:

freezing said main object and allowing said background to pulsate; and

freezing said background and allowing said main object to pulsate.

26. A method of displaying a pulsating image, comprising:

providing an electronic device communicating with a storage;

said storage comprises at least one packet comprising a pulsating image having a frame-per-second rate and a pulsating thumbnail of said pulsating image;

said pulsating image comprises a plurality of frames;

displaying a gallery of said at least one pulsating thumbnail representing a pulsating image to be viewed;

selecting a pulsating thumbnail;

extracting the respective pulsating image according to said selection; and

displaying said respective pulsating image according to predetermined characteristics;

wherein said displaying comprises slowing down said frame-per-second rate of at least part of said plurality of frames.

27. The method of claim 26, further comprising processing by a processing module said pulsating image before displaying.

28. The method of claim 27, wherein said processing comprises creating a morphing effect by adding frames between a determined last frame and a determined first frame of said pulsating image.

29. The method of claim 27, wherein said processing comprises performing an image stabilization process.

30. The method of claim 27, wherein said processing comprises identifying at least one main object and a background for performing at least one of:

freezing said main object and allowing said background to pulsate; and

freezing said background and allowing said main object to pulsate.

33. The method of claim 26, wherein said predetermined characteristics comprise loop orders;

wherein said loop orders comprise one of;

displaying said pulsating image from the beginning till its end and jumping back to the beginning of said pulsating image; and

displaying said pulsating image from the beginning till its end and from the end backwards to the beginning of said pulsating image.
