Patent Images
1. A method implemented in a telecommunication device, the method comprising:
- automatically selecting a portion of an image, the automatic selecting being based on parameters associated with a user interface element of the telecommunication device, the parameters determining which portion of the image is automatically selected;
applying the selected portion of the image to the user interface element; and
specifying the parameters in a lookup table having entries for the user interface elements and corresponding entries for parameters, the lookup table is one of a plurality of lookup tables,wherein a subset of the plurality of lookup tables are associated with a theme, the theme being associated with a level of service provided by a service provider.

15. A method implemented in one or more computing devices, the method comprising:
-
receiving an image associated with a user profile; automatically selecting one or more portions of the image for one or more user interface elements of one or more computing and/or telecommunication devices that are associated with the user profile, the automatic selecting being based on parameters respectively associated with the one or more user interface elements, the parameters determining which portion or portions of the image are automatically selected; one or both of; providing the selected portions of the image to the computing and/or telecommunication devices, and/or applying one of the selected portions of the image to one of the user interface elements; and specifying the parameters in a lookup table having entries for the user interface elements and corresponding entries for parameters, the lookup table is one of a plurality of lookup tables, associating a theme with a subset of the plurality of lookup tables, the themes being associated with a level of service provided by a service provider. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A telecommunication device comprising:
-
a processor; a video and/or image capture component coupled to the processor; and one or more modules of executable instructions configured to be executed by the processor and to perform operations including; receiving a video or sequence of images from the video and/or image capture component; while receiving the video or sequence of images, automatically selecting a portion of a video frame of the video, an image of the sequence of images or a multi-frame loop of the video, the automatic selecting being based on parameters associated with a user interface element of the telecommunication device, the parameters determining which portion of the video frame, image, or multi-frame loop is automatically selected, applying the selected portion of the frame, image, or loop to the user interface element, repeatedly performing the selecting and applying until an indication is received, specifying the parameters in one of a plurality of lookup tables having entries for the user interface elements and corresponding entries for parameters, and associating a theme with a subset of the plurality of lookup tables, the themes being associated with a level of service provided by a telecommunication service provider. - View Dependent Claims (20)
