Using a touch sensitive display to control magnification and capture of digital images by an electronic device
First Claim
1. A computer program product for operating an electronic device including a camera device and a touch sensitive display device, the computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied in the medium and comprising;
computer readable program code that is configured to control magnification of a digital image from the camera device by controlling an amount of optical zoom by the camera device to generate a magnified digital image that is displayed on the display device in response to a distance only between starting positions of at least two touch points detected relative to a surface of the display device, wherein the starting positions of the at least two detected touch points indicate corner locations that frame a portion of the digital image that is to be magnified;
computer readable program code that is configured to refrain from interpreting a plurality of touch points that do not define at least a threshold diameter as being a magnification command; and
computer readable program code that is configured to initiate capture of the magnified digital image in response to cessation of detection of at least one of the two touch points.

Abstract
An electronic device includes a touch sensitive display device, a camera device, and a processor that executes computer readable program code embodied in a computer readable storage medium. Some of the computer readable program code is configured to control magnification of a digital image from the camera device to generate a magnified digital image that is displayed on the display device in response to distance between at least two touch points detected relative to a surface of the display device. Some other computer readable program code is configured to initiate capture of the magnified digital image in response to cessation of detection of at least one of the two touch points.

13. An electronic device comprising:
-
a camera device that generates a digital image of an external object; a display device that is configured to display the digital image and to detect locations of at least two touch points relative to a surface of a display screen; and a controller that is configured to control magnification of the digital image that is displayed on the display device by controlling an amount of optical zoom by the camera device in response to a distance only between starting positions of the detected touch points, to refrain from interpreting a plurality of touch points that do not define at least a threshold diameter as being a magnification command, and to initiate capture of the magnified digital image in response to cessation of detection of at least one of the detected touch points, wherein the starting positions of the detected touch points indicate corner locations that frame a portion of the digital image that is to be magnified. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
