摘要:
Generating a photograph (34) with a digital camera (12) may include capturing a first image (36) of a scene (38) with a first zoom setting and capturing a second image (40) of the scene with a second zoom setting, where the second zoom setting corresponds to higher magnification than the first zoom setting. The second image may be stitched into the first image in place of a removed portion (50) of the first image that corresponds to a portion of the scene represented by the second image. The result is the photograph, which has a region corresponding to image data of the second image and a region corresponding to image data of the first image.

A method of conducting a search includes tagging a user selected segment of audio content that includes search criteria to define an audio clip. The audio clip is captured from the audio content and transferred to a search support function (54) to conduct a search based on the search criteria from the audio clip.
摘要:
Image data for a digital photograph is segmented into a first portion and a second portion. The image data of the second portion is processed to have a quality lower than the image data of the first portion. An image file for the scene is stored where the image file contains image data corresponding to the first and second portions so that the image file has a high quality portion and a low quality portion.
摘要:
A system and method of bundling full or partial decoding and/or post-processing mechanisms (144) together with media content (142) in the form of an electronic file (140) is disclosed. The combined file (140) may be transmitted to another device that is able to execute the decoding and/or post-processing such that the receiving device can render the media content in an appropriate manner (e.g., playback of audio, display a picture, etc.) with sufficient fidelity. Aspects of the present invention extend the use of metadata associated with the a multimedia content to incorporate a specification for how the multimedia file should be decoded or partially decoded from a compressed state (e.g., MP3, JPEG, WAV, etc.) and post-processed into a state than can be rendered by a device. In one embodiment, the specification is in the form of a script comprising an ordered list of functions or primitives that are executed by the receiving device to transform the associated multimedia file into the desired content to be rendered. In another embodiment, the decoding instructions are provided as an element of an extensible markup language (XML) file. The XML file may accompany the multimedia file or the multimedia file may be another element of the XML file.
