First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- processing at least one picture to determine an identity of at least one element present in the at least one picture;
determining current status information associated with the at least one element based on the identity,determining that the current status information indicates a change of status of the at least one element from previous status information associated with the at least one element,wherein the change of status includes a change in physical characteristics of the at least one element;
determining metadata associated with the at least one picture,wherein the determining of the current status information is further based on the metadata;
wherein the metadata include contextual information associated with a capture of the at least one picture;
and presenting at least one representation of the change of status of the at least one element in the at least one picture,wherein the at least one representation includes at least one visual effect to set apart only the change in the physical characteristics of the at least one element.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, process at least one picture to determine an identity of at least one element present in the at least one picture; determine current status information associated with the at least one element based on the identity; determine that the current status information indicates a change of status of the at least one element from previous status information associated with the at least one element, wherein the change of status includes a change in physical characteristics of the at least one element; determine metadata associated with the at least one picture, wherein the determining of the current status information is further based on the metadata; wherein the metadata include contextual information associated with a capture of the at least one picture; and present at least one representation of the change of status of the at least one element in the at least one picture, wherein the at least one representation includes at least one visual effect to set apart only the change in the physical characteristics of the at least one element. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
