Abstract

In some implementations, an image can be presented in an image editing interface and the image can be edited based on movement of the mobile device. In some implementations, the mobile device can be configured to provide a plurality of types edits (e.g., filters, effects, etc.) that can be applied to the image, a selection of one or more edit types can be received, movement sensor data can obtained describing movement of the mobile device, and the selected edits can be applied to the image based on the sensor data.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

presenting an image in an image editing interface of a mobile device, wherein the image editing interface includes a plurality of edits that can be applied to the image;

receiving a selection of an edit to be applied;

obtaining sensor data measuring movement of the mobile device;

applying the selected edit to the image based on an amount of movement measured at the mobile device;

receiving user input; and

in response to receiving the user input, storing the image on the mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

obtaining sensor data describing movement of the mobile device;

determining from the sensor data that the movement of the mobile device includes a rotation about an axis;

applying the selected edit to the image based on the determined movement.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

obtaining sensor data describing movement of the mobile device;

determining from the sensor data that the movement of the mobile device includes a translation along an axis;

applying the selected edit to the image based on the determined movement.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

obtaining sensor data describing movement of the mobile device;

determining from the sensor data that the movement of the mobile device includes a pattern of movement;

applying the selected edit to the image based on the determined movement.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the pattern of movement is a shake.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the pattern of movement is a slap.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein a plurality of edits includes one or more image filters.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes:

presenting an image in an image editing interface of a mobile device, wherein the image editing interface includes a plurality of edits that can be applied to the image;

receiving a selection of an edit to be applied;

obtaining sensor data measuring movement of the mobile device;

applying the selected edit to the image based on an amount of movement measured at the mobile device;

receiving user input; and

in response to receiving the user input, storing the image on the mobile device.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the instructions cause:

obtaining sensor data describing movement of the mobile device;

determining from the sensor data that the movement of the mobile device includes a rotation about an axis;

applying the selected edit to the image based on the determined movement.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the instructions cause:

obtaining sensor data describing movement of the mobile device;

determining from the sensor data that the movement of the mobile device includes a translation along an axis;

applying the selected edit to the image based on the determined movement.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the instructions cause:

obtaining sensor data describing movement of the mobile device;

determining from the sensor data that the movement of the mobile device includes a pattern of movement;

applying the selected edit to the image based on the determined movement.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the pattern of movement is a shake.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the pattern of movement is a slap.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein a plurality of edits includes one or more image filters.

15. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes;

presenting an image in an image editing interface of a mobile device, wherein the image editing interface includes a plurality of edits that can be applied to the image;

receiving a selection of an edit to be applied;

obtaining sensor data measuring movement of the mobile device;

applying the selected edit to the image based on an amount of movement measured at the mobile device;

receiving user input; and

in response to receiving the user input, storing the image on the mobile device.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the instructions cause:

obtaining sensor data describing movement of the mobile device;

determining from the sensor data that the movement of the mobile device includes a rotation about an axis;

applying the selected edit to the image based on the determined movement.

17. The system of claim 15, wherein the instructions cause:

obtaining sensor data describing movement of the mobile device;

determining from the sensor data that the movement of the mobile device includes a translation along an axis;

applying the selected edit to the image based on the determined movement.

18. The system of claim 15, wherein the instructions cause:

obtaining sensor data describing movement of the mobile device;

determining from the sensor data that the movement of the mobile device includes a pattern of movement;

applying the selected edit to the image based on the determined movement.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the pattern of movement is a shake.

20. The system of claim 18, wherein the pattern of movement is a slap.

21. The system of claim 15, wherein a plurality of edits includes one or more image filters.
