114 that includes a display screen 140. Image frames are transferred from
the imaging device 100 to the computer 112 for processing, storage, and
display on the hardware user interface 114 (Anderson, col. 4, ll. 4-30; Fig.
1).
In Anderson, the user can create a slideshow by navigating to a
selected media object (e.g., image) and marking the object. Significantly,
each media object can also be selectively edited before or after incorporation
into the slideshow using the appropriate editor (Anderson, col. 8, l. 66 – col.
9, l. 18; col. 13, ll. 45-48).
For example, images can be edited using image editing screen 420.
As shown in Figure 12, the user can select a desired image editing function
(“Contrast,” “Brightness,” “Color,” and “Sharpen”) by moving the target
cursor to the item and selecting the “Choose” softkey 206a. In response, a
menu or screen is displayed that shows modifiable parameters for the
selected item. In addition, the editing screen displays a thumbnail image of
the selected image 422 and a preview of the modified image 424 (Anderson,
col. 13, l. 59 – col. 14, l. 4; Fig. 12).
We find this selectable image editing functionality in Anderson fully
meets an input device configured to respond to a manual input selecting one
of multiple image filters as claimed. That is, each image editing function
listed in the menu 402 provides, in effect, a selectable filtering effect (i.e., a
selectable “image filter” as claimed) since the function effectively modifies
the image’s appearance in accordance with the selected function. In fact,
two of Anderson’s editing functions (“Color” and “Sharpen”) are
commensurate with filtering effects discussed in Appellants’ own
