Abstract

One or more systems and/or methods for capturing an image are provided. In an example, an application interface (e.g., a weather application interface), within which the image is to be populated, may be identified. The application interface may be evaluated to identify display context (e.g., a temperature label, weather visual effect, a weather icon, etc.) of the application interface. A camera user interface, associated with a camera of a device, may be displayed to a user. The display context may be overlaid a real-time image capture preview provided by the camera user interface so that the user may preview how the image may appear when used as a background image for the application interface (e.g., how a scene of a park may appear when the temperature label, weather icon, etc. are displayed over the background image). The image may be captured through the camera user interface utilizing the camera.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
identifying an application interface of a mobile device;
evaluating the application interface of the mobile device to determine whether display context of the application interface of the mobile device is fixed or variable based upon whether the display context is associated with one or more changes to at least one of shape, position or color of one or more objects in the application interface of the mobile device, wherein the evaluating is based upon one or more of text recognition analysis of the application interface of the mobile device, image recognition analysis of the application interface of the mobile device or code recognition analysis of the application interface of the mobile device;
responsive to determining that the display context of the application interface of the mobile device is variable based upon the display context being associated with one or more changes to at least one of shape, position or color of the one or more objects in the application interface of the mobile device, defining dynamic display context for the display context of the application interface of the mobile device;
responsive to determining that the display context of the application interface of the mobile device is fixed based upon the display context not being associated with one or more changes to at least one of shape, position or color of the one or more objects in the application interface of the mobile device, defining fixed display context for the display context of the application interface of the mobile device;
displaying, via the mobile device, a user interface; and
overlaying the dynamic display context or the fixed display context over at least some of the user interface displayed via the mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1 , the evaluating the application interface based upon whether the display context is associated with one or more changes to shape.

3. The method of claim 1 , the evaluating the application interface based upon whether the display context is associated with one or more changes to position.

4. The method of claim 1 , the evaluating the application interface based upon whether the display context is associated with one or more changes to color.

5. The method of claim 1 , the overlaying comprising:
identifying a plurality of weather type icons associated with the dynamic display context; and
rotating, in a display, between the plurality of weather type icons.

6. The method of claim 1 , the overlaying comprising:
identifying a plurality of values associated with the dynamic display context; and
rotating, in a display, between the plurality of values.

7. The method of claim 1 , the display context comprising at least one of:
a text context, an image context, an advertisement context, an interactive context, or a visual effect context.

8. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
generating an image based upon the user interface; and
populating the image into the application interface, the populating comprising:
selecting the image from an image repository; and
utilizing the image as a background image for the application interface.

9. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
generating an image based upon the user interface;
tagging the image with a digital identifier corresponding to at least one of the display context, the image, or a user; and
storing the image within an image repository.

10. The method of claim 1 , the defining the dynamic display context comprising at least one of:
defining an area corresponding to first content in the application interface;
defining a maximum area for the display context to encompass on the application interface; or
setting a parameter for the dynamic display context.

11. The method of claim 1 , the application interface comprising a social media application interface and the method comprising:
generating an image based upon the user interface;
providing the image to the social media application interface; and
utilizing the image within the social media application interface as a profile image or a cover photograph image.

12. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
generating an image based upon an image capture preview associated with the user interface.

13. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
evaluating a second display context to determine if the second display context is fixed or variable; and
responsive to determining that the second display context is fixed, overlaying the second display context over at least some of a second user interface.

14. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
identifying a user feature for a user;
selecting an image from an image repository based upon the user feature; and
utilizing the image as a background image for the application interface.

15. A system, comprising:
a processor; and
memory comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause implementation of an image capture component configured to:
identify an application interface of a mobile device;
evaluate the application interface of the mobile device to determine whether display context of the application interface of the mobile device is fixed or variable based upon one or more of text recognition analysis of the application interface of the mobile device, image recognition analysis of the application interface of the mobile device or code recognition analysis of the application interface of the mobile device;
responsive to determining that the display context of the application interface of the mobile device is variable, define dynamic display context for the display context of the application interface of the mobile device;
display, via the mobile device, a user interface; and
overlay the dynamic display context over at least some of the user interface displayed via the mobile device,
at least one of:
the evaluating based upon whether the display context is associated with one or more changes to at least one of shape, position or color of one or more objects in the application interface of the mobile device; or
the defining the dynamic display context comprising
defining a maximum area for the display context to encompass on the application interface.

16. The system of claim 15 , the image capture component configured to:
generating an image based upon the user interface;
populate the image into the application interface;
responsive to detecting a change from the dynamic display context to a second display context, query an image repository to identify a second image having a digital identifier corresponding to the second display context; and
populate the second image into the application interface.

17. The system of claim 15 , the evaluating based upon whether the display context is associated with the one or more changes to at least one of shape, position or color of the one or more objects in the application interface of the mobile device.

18. The system of claim 15 , the defining the dynamic display context comprising defining the maximum area for the display context to encompass on the application interface.

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which when executed perform a method, comprising:
identifying an application interface of a mobile device;
evaluating the application interface of the mobile device to determine whether display context of the application interface of the mobile device is fixed or variable based upon whether the display context is associated with one or more changes to at least one of
