A language learning system is provided and includes multilingual content in both text and audio versions, a means for correlating the multilingual content with a translation of the text and audio version, and a computing device. The computing device includes a general user interface permitting a user to choose a specific subset of the multilingual content and a central processing unit to translate native language of the specific subset to a selected language translation.

Method of gesture selection of displayed content on a language learning system

A single user input element in an image capture device is used for both photo and video capture. Based on a first user interface activity, a timing reference is engaged at a first reference time. In a first case, photo capture is performed. In the first case, a second reference time is based on a second user interface activity, and the timing reference indicates a passage of time between the two reference times is shorter than a particular time interval. In a second case, video capture is performed. In the second case, the timing reference indicates a passage of time since the first reference time is equal to or longer than the particular time interval. Video capture is stopped based on a subsequent user interface activity. The user interface activities may comprise detecting actions based on the same type of physical manipulation of the single user input.

Device and method for photo and video capture

A single user input element in an image capture device is used for both image and video capture, based on detecting a state change of the single user input element from a first state to a second state based on a detected user activity, and determining a duration of the second state. A first distinct signal indicating that an image capture is triggered is provided based on the duration of the second state being less than a time interval and a second distinct signal indicating that a video recording is triggered is provided based on the duration of the second state being greater than the time interval. The video recording is captured until a state change of the single user input element from the second state to the first state is detected.

A language learning system is provided. The language learning system includes a computing device and a language learning file. The computing device includes a general user interface and a central processing unit. The language learning file is run by the central processing unit and includes multilingual data, a language display module, and a language learning module. The multilingual data includes a graphical constant element and dynamic lexical elements corresponding to the graphical constant element and having native language data and secondary language data translating from the native language data. The display module displays the graphical constant element and a native language element of the native language data through the general user interface in juxtaposed position. The language learning module switches between displays of the native language element with a secondary language element of the secondary language data.

Method and system for learning languages through a general user interface

A method of gesture selection of displayed content on a general user interface is provided. The method includes steps of: determining a gesture initiation location when a user pushes down on the general user interface, determining a continuous arc by movement of the user across the general user interface, determining a completed continuous arc of the continuous arc by connecting the gesture initiation location with a gesture end location when the user lifts off of the general user interface, determining a selection area based on an inner area of the completed continuous arc, and storing data from objects of interest encompassed in the selection area.

Method of gesture selection of displayed content on a general user interface

A single user input element in an image capture device is used for both image and video capture, based on detecting a state change of the single user input element from a first state to a second state based on a detected user activity, and determining a duration of the second state. An image from the image sensor is stored based on the duration of the second state being less than a time interval, and a video recording is captured based on the duration of the second state being greater than the time interval. The video recording is captured until a state change of the single user input element from the second state to the first state is detected.
