Abstract

A device, method and computer program product for creating viewable content on an interactive display is provided. The method includes providing a user interface on a device for creating viewable content from a collection comprising at least one multimedia content. The method includes causing the user interface, by a processor, to present an interactive display to the user. The method includes presenting the collection on the interactive display. Further, the method includes receiving one or more gesture inputs by the user on the collection, wherein each gesture input indicates at least one of a desired effect to be performed and a region to be displayed on a viewport of the device. Furthermore, the method includes creating a viewable content from the at least one multimedia content of the collection based on the one or more gesture inputs.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

providing a user interface on a device for creating viewable content from a collection comprising at least one multimedia content;

causing the user interface, by a processor, to present an interactive display to a user;

presenting the collection on the interactive display;

receiving one or more gesture inputs from the user on the collection, wherein each gesture input indicates at least one of a desired effect to be performed and a region to be displayed on a viewport of the device; and

creating a viewable content from the at least one multimedia content of the collection based on the one or more gesture inputs.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising storing at least one of the one or more gesture inputs and the viewable content in a memory.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein storing the one or more gesture inputs comprises storing information associated with one or more traces of the one or more gesture inputs.

4. The method of claim 2, further comprising performing a playback of the viewable content based on the one or more gesture inputs stored in the memory.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein a speed of the playback of the viewable content is based on a speed of receipt of the one or more gesture inputs from the user on the collection.

6. The method of claim 2, further comprising editing the viewable content based on editing at least one gesture input of the one or more gesture inputs that are stored.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one multimedia content is at least one of a still image, a video clip, a living image and a three dimensional object.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more gesture inputs comprise at least one of a line, a spiral-in pattern, a spiral-out pattern, a closed loop encasing at least a region of a multimedia content of the at least one multimedia content.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the desired effect includes at least one of a pan, zoom in, zoom out, transitions between multimedia contents of the collections.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein when a gesture input of the one or more gesture inputs comprise a spiral-in pattern on a region of a multimedia content, the desired effect performed in the viewable content comprises zooming in the region of the multimedia content during playback of the viewable content.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein when a gesture input the one or more gesture inputs comprises a spiral-out pattern on a region of a multimedia content, the desired effect performed in the viewable content comprises zooming out the region of the multimedia content during playback of the viewable content.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein when a gesture input of the one or more gesture inputs comprises a line on the at least one multimedia content, the desired effect performed in the viewable content includes panning the viewable content in a direction corresponding to the line during playback of the viewable content.

13. A device, comprising:

a user interface;

a memory comprising computer program code for image processing; and

a processor configured to execute the computer program code to cause the device to at least perform;

presenting an interactive display to a user on the user interface;

presenting a collection comprising at least one multimedia content on the interactive display;

receiving one or more gesture inputs from the user on the collection, wherein each gesture input indicates at least one of a desired effect to be performed and a region to be displayed on a viewport of the device; and

creating a viewable content from the at least one multimedia content of the collection based on the one or more gesture inputs.

14. The device of claim 13, further caused, at least in part to store at least one of the one or more gesture inputs and the viewable content.

15. The device of claim 14, wherein to store the one or more gesture inputs the device is further caused, at least in part to store information associated with one or more traces of the one or more gesture inputs.

16. The device of claim 14, further caused, at least in part to perform a playback of the viewable content based on the one or more gesture inputs stored in the memory.

17. The device of claim 16, wherein a speed of the playback of the viewable content is based on a speed of receipt of the one or more gesture inputs from the user on the collection.

18. The device of claim 14, further caused, at least in part to edit the viewable content based on editing at least one gesture input of the one or more gesture inputs that are stored.

19. The device of claim 13, wherein the at least one multimedia content is at least one of a still image, a video clip, a living image and a three dimensional object.

20. A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause a device to at least perform:

providing a user interface on the device for creating viewable content from a collection comprising at least one multimedia content;

causing the user interface, by the processor, to present an interactive display to a user;

presenting the collection on the interactive display;

receiving one or more gesture inputs from the user on the collection, wherein each gesture input indicates at least one of a desired effect to be performed and a region to be displayed on a viewport of the device; and

creating a viewable content, by the processor, from the at least one multimedia content of the collection based on the one or more gesture inputs.
