An example embodiment may involve capturing a sequence of images, wherein there are 4 or more images in the sequence of images, and wherein each of the sequence of images has an exposure length of 4-100 seconds; applying a sliding window over the sequence of images as downsampled, wherein at least 4 images are encompassed within the sliding window', and wherein for each position of the sliding window the applying involves: (i) aligning a set of images within the sliding window, and (ii) merging the set of images as aligned into a video frame; combining video frames generated by way of the sliding window into a video file; and storing, by the mobile device, the video file in memory of the mobile device.

This document describes apparatuses and techniques enabling a scale down capture preview for a panorama capture user interface. This scale down preview enables users to more-easily and more-accurately capture images for a panorama.

Scale-down capture preview for a panorama capture user interface

A method includes a processor of an electronic device receiving first input signals from a first sensor in response to user contact at a first edge of the device and second input signals from a second sensor in response to user contact at a second edge of the electronic device. The first and second sensors are covered by a housing of the device. The processor determines an external context of the device based on analysis of the first input signals and the second input signals. The determined external context indicates at least a position of the device relative to a user or an orientation of the device relative to a user. Responsive to determining the external context, the electronic device executes a particular user input action.

Electronic device response to force-sensitive interface

In general, this disclosure describes techniques for routing user inputs to an operating system or an application based on other inputs received at pressure sensors. In one example, computing device receives an indication of a first user input that is detected by pressure sensors of the computing device. The pressure sensors are positioned along two or more sides of a housing of the computing device. The computing device also receives an indication of a second user input, detected by a presence-sensitive display of the computing device. The computing device determines, based on the first user input, whether the second user input is associated with an application or an operating system executing at the computing device. Responsive to determining that the second user input is associated with the operating system, the computing device performs a system-level action.
