Abstract

See full text

Methods and devices for storing and associating audio tracks to user-defined touch zones on a photo frame are provided. In one aspect, the photo frame includes a capacitive sensor array that provides a platform for a user to overlie a photo thereon. The capacitive sensor is coupled to a microprocessor that permits the generation of user-defined touch zones based on the user selecting an object in the photo by encircling the object with a touch gesture. The frame also includes a microphone for recording an audio track corresponding to each user-defined touch zone. The audio tracks and corresponding touch zones are stored in a memory. In some embodiments, the microprocessor can determine a selected touch zone based on a location of the user's touch and, based on the location, playback the audio track corresponding to the selected touch zone.
