Methods and systems for auto-detecting and auto-connecting communication protocols with respect to an image capture device connected to an accessory device via an interface cable. A method for seamless connectivity including automatically detecting, by one of an image capture device and an accessory device, of a wired connection between the image capture device and the accessory device via an interface cable, automatically initiating, by the one of the image capture device and the accessory device, processing associated with a communication protocol supported by the image capture device and the accessory device, and automatically connecting the image capture device to the accessory device via the communication protocol when the processing is complete.

Method and system for auto-detection and auto-connection between a device and an accessory device

Media items (e.g., images, videos) may be captured by one or more image capture devices. One or more of the media items may be identified as including/likely including depiction of a user based on proximity of capture of the media item(s) in time and location to the user. The identified media item(s) may be provided to the user.

Systems and methods for sharing media items capturing subjects

In a video capture system, a virtual lens is simulated when applying a crop or zoom effect to an input video. An input video frame is received from the input video that has a first field of view and an input lens distortion. A selection of a sub-frame representing a portion of the input video frame is obtained that has a second field of view smaller than the first field of view. The sub-frame is processed to remap the input lens distortion to a desired lens distortion in the sub-frame. The processed sub-frame is output.

Virtual lens simulation for video and photo cropping

An image capture device may capture media items (e.g., images, videos, sound clips). An identifier of a mobile device of a user transmitted to the image capture device when the mobile device is in proximity of the image capture device may be used to identify media items that may include and/or be of interest to the user of the mobile device. An identifier and time of the image capture device transmitted to a mobile device of a user when the image capture device is in proximity of the mobile device may be used to identify media items that may include and/or be of interest to the user of the mobile device.

In a video capture system, a virtual lens is simulated when applying a crop or zoom effect to an input video. An input video frame is received from the input video that has a first field of view and an input lens distortion caused by a lens used to capture the input video frame. A selection of a sub-frame representing a portion of the input video frame is obtained that has a second field of view smaller than the first field of view. The sub-frame is processed to remap the input lens distortion to a desired lens distortion in the sub-frame. The processed sub-frame is the outputted.

Media items captured by a media capture device may include and/or be associated with values of a clock-change identifier. The values of the clock-change identifier may be set based on when and how many times the time of the media capture device was changed. Based on a capture-time of a media item being incorrect, other media items with the same value of the clock-change identifier may be determined to be incorrect. Capture-times of the other media items may be corrected based on capture-time correction of the media item.

Systems and methods for correcting media capture-times

Multiple sinusoidal pathways may be used to determine placement of media previews on a graphical user interface. Center points may be placed along the multiple sinusoidal pathways such that a group of adjacent center points forms a triangle. Media previews may be arranged for presentation by placing centers of the media previews on the center points along the multiple sinusoidal pathways.

Media preview placement within a graphical user interface

A graphical user interface for presenting media collections may provide multiple levels of view of different collections of media items. Individual levels of view may include different layouts for the media items.

Interface for presenting media collections

Physical storage media accessible to a remote device may store video information defining video content. The video content may be characterized by capture information. The remote device may transmit at least a portion of the capture information to a computing device. The computing device may identify one or more portions of the video content based on the transmitted capture information. The remote device may receive the identification of the identified portion(s) of the video content from the computing device. Responsive to the reception of the identification, the remote device may transmit the video information defining at least some of the identified portion(s) of the video content to the computing device.

Systems and methods for identifying moments in videos

A video identifier uniquely identifying a video captured by a camera is generated. The video includes video frames and optionally concurrently captured audio as well as video metadata describing the video. Video data is extracted from at least two of the video's frames. By combining the extracted video data in an order specified by an identifier generation protocol, an extracted data object is generated. The extracted data object is hashed to generate the unique media identifier, which is stored in association with the video. The identifier generation protocol may indicate the portions of the video data to extract, such as video data corresponding to particular video frames and audio data corresponding to particular audio samples. The extracted data object may include a size of particular video frames, a number of audio samples in the video, or the duration of the video, for example.
