Camera timer

摘要

Disclosed are devices, systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for displaying useful countdown timers on a media capture device. A media capture device can increase contrast between countdown timer and the video of a scene to be captured by a media capture device and adjust the position and size of a counter displayed on the device based on whether the object is determined to be closer or further than a predetermined threshold distance. Countdown timers can be triggered by detection of objects and gestures.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
displaying, on a media capture device having a display, a scene to be captured upon expiration of a countdown timer; detecting, by a media processing system in the media capture device, an object in the scene; determining, by the media processing system, a distance between the object and the media capture device; displaying an interface element representing the countdown timer in the display and substantially centered over the scene to be captured when the distance of the object is determined to be further than a distance; displaying the interface element representing the countdown timer in the display in a periphery of the scene to be captured when the distance of the object is determined to be closer than the distance; and increasing, by a processor in the media capture device, a level of contrast between the interface element representing the countdown timer and the displayed scene to be captured as the countdown timer approaches expiration.
