METHODS AND DEVICES FOR CAPTURING AN ITEM IMAGE

Abstract:

Methods and devices for capturing images for use in online retail of product items. A mobile device having a camera may be used when building a product item record having an associated image of the product. The method of capturing a suitable image may include obtaining a product item display page for a product item, the product item display page having a designated portion defined for display of an image of the product item; obtaining a real-time live stream of images from the camera; processing the live stream from the camera to create a processed live stream, and displaying the product item display page with the processed live stream displayed within the designated portion; and storing a processed image for the product item in association with an item record for the product item.
