Abstract

A portable photo studio system includes a portable photo studio and an electronic device such as a camera-enabled smartphone. A computer system is provided that interacts with the electronic device. The computer system requests an image capture system. In response, the electronic device captures image data and shares it with the computer system. The computer system then analyzes the image data to identify areas of interest.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
providing, by an electronic device of a portable photo studio system, first instructions for orientating a human body part into a first orientation with respect to a set of orientation indicia of a portable photo studio of the portable photo studio system;
capturing, by a camera of the electronic device, a first set of images of the human body part in the first orientation;
providing, by the electronic device, second instructions for orientating the human body part into a second orientation with respect to the set of orientation indicia;
capturing, by the camera of the electronic device, a second set of images of the human body part in the second orientation; and
uploading, by the electronic device and to an external system, at least a portion of the first set of images and the second set of images.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein:
providing the first instructions and the second instructions comprises providing the first instructions and the second instructions via a speaker or a screen of the electronic device; and
the first instructions and the second instructions are provided with respect to markings on a bottom section of the portable photo studio.

3. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage devices comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
providing, by an electronic device of a portable photo studio system, first instructions for orientating a human body part into a first orientation with respect to a set of orientation indicia of a portable photo studio of the portable photo studio system;
instructing capture, by a camera of the electronic device, a first set of images of the human body part in the first orientation;
providing, by the electronic device, second instructions for orientating the human body part into a second orientation with respect to the set of orientation indicia;
instructing capture, by the camera of the electronic device, a second set of images of the human body part in the second orientation; and
uploading, by the electronic device and to an external system, at least a portion of the first set of images and the second set of images.

4. The one or more non-transitory computer readable storage devices of claim 3 , wherein the set of orientation indicia are visible on a bottom section of the portable photo studio and comprise heel indicia, orientation indicia of a first type, and orientation indicia of a second type, and wherein the heel indicia, the orientation indicia of the first type, and the orientation indicia of the second type are divided into two reference indicium groups.

5. The one or more non-transitory computer readable storage devices of claim 4 , wherein:
the human body part comprises a pair of human legs;
the first orientation and the second orientation are selected from a group of orientations comprising:
a pair of feet of the pair of human legs is oriented with heels on the heel indicia and toes pointing toward the electronic device;
the pair of feet oriented with heels on the heel indicia, toes of a first foot of the pair of feet pointing toward the electronic device, and toes of a second foot of the pair of feet pointing substantially perpendicular with respect to the toes of the first foot;
the pair of feet oriented with heels on the heel indicia, the toes of the second foot pointing toward the electronic device, and the toes of the second foot pointing substantially perpendicular with respect to the toes of the second foot;
the pair of feet oriented with heels on the heel indicia, the toes of the second foot pointing opposite the electronic device, and the toes of the first foot pointing substantially perpendicular with respect to the toes of the second foot; and
the pair of feet oriented with heels on the heel indicia, the toes of the first foot pointing opposite the electronic device, and the toes of the second foot pointing substantially perpendicular with respect to the toes of the first foot; and

comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations further comprising detecting that the pair of human legs is in the first orientation, wherein capturing the first set of images comprises capturing the first set of images responsive to detecting that the pair of human legs is in the first orientation.

6. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
providing, by an electronic device of a portable photo studio system, first instructions for orientating a human body part into a first orientation with respect to a set of orientation indicia of a portable photo studio of the portable photo studio system;
instructing capture, by a camera of the electronic device, a first set of images of the human body part in the first orientation;
providing, by the electronic device, second instructions for orientating the human body part into a second orientation with respect to the set of orientation indicia;
instructing capture, by the camera of the electronic device, a second set of images of the human body part in the second orientation; and
uploading, by the electronic device and to an external system, at least a portion of the first set of images and the second set of images.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the first set of images includes a plurality of images, and the computer-executable instructions further cause the one or more processors to perform additional operations comprising:
providing the plurality of images for presentation at a screen of the electronic device;
requesting user selection of a best image of the plurality of images to define the portion of the first set of images; and
determining the portion of the first set of images based at least in part on the user selection of the best image of the plurality of images.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the one or more processors to perform additional operations comprising:
providing the first set of images and the second set of images for presentation at a screen of the electronic device;
requesting user selection of individual images of the first set of images and the second set of images to define the portion of the first set of images and the second set of images; and
determining the portion of the first set of images and the second set of images based at least in part on the user selection of the individual images; and
responsive to an empty user selection:
instructing capture, by the camera of the electronic device, of additional images for the first set of images of the human body part in the first orientation; and
instructing capture, by the camera of the electronic device, of additional images for the second set of images of the human body part in the second orientation.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein:
the computer-executable instruction for capturing the first set of images is responsive to a first voice command instructing the camera to capture the first set of images;
the computer-executable instruction for capturing the second set of images is responsive to a second voice command instructing the camera to capture the second set of images; and
the electronic device includes a voice assistant.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of orientation indicia are visible on a bottom sect
