Methods and systems for providing functionality of an interface to include an artificial horizon
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving information indicating a range of motion of a camera on a device,providing an interface on a second device remote from the device, wherein the interface is configured to receive an input indicating a command for an orientation of the camera on the device;
based on the information indicating the range of motion of the camera, providing an artificial horizon at a position on the interface that indicates the range of motion of the camera on either side of the artificial horizon, wherein the position of the artificial horizon is associated with an orientation of the camera having a tilt value of about zero or having a pan value of about zero with respect to a plane associated with a field of view of the camera;
receiving information indicating a change to the range of motion of the camera on the device; and
based on the information indicating the change to the range of motion of the camera, updating the position of the artificial horizon to a different position on the interface, wherein the different position of the artificial horizon is associated with the orientation of the camera having the tilt value of about zero or having the pan value of about zero with respect to the plane associated with the field of view of the camera.

Abstract
Methods and systems for providing functionality of an interface to include an artificial horizon are provided. In one example, a method includes receiving information indicating a range of motion of a camera on a device, and providing an interface on a second device remote from the device. The interface may be configured to receive an input indicating a command for an orientation of the camera on the device. The method may further include based on the information indicating the range of motion of the camera, providing an artificial horizon at a fixed position on the interface that indicates the range of motion of the camera on either side of the artificial horizon. The fixed position of the artificial horizon may be associated with an orientation of the camera having a tilt value of about zero or having a pan value of about zero.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to perform functions comprising:
-
receiving information indicating a range of motion of a camera on a device; providing an interface on the computing device, wherein the interface is configured to receive an input indicating a command for an orientation of the camera on the device; based on the information indicating the range of motion of the camera, providing an artificial horizon at a position on the interface that indicates the range of motion of the camera on either side of the artificial horizon, wherein the position of the artificial horizon is associated with an orientation of the camera having a tilt value of about zero or having a pan value of about zero with respect to a plane associated with a field of view of the camera; receiving information indicating a change to the range of motion of the camera on the device; and based on the information indicating the change to the range of motion of the camera, updating the position of the artificial horizon to a different position on the interface, wherein the different position of the artificial horizon is associated with the orientation of the camera having the tilt value of about zero or having the pan value of about zero with respect to the plane associated with the field of view of the camera. - View Dependent Claims (17)
