Nice but... Why must patent? :(

First of all, i no longer like iPhone so Alan, the answer to your question is "no, i would not like it"
Second, i won't trust a device to pick the best photo out of the lot, although the algorithm may read right, it's not all that. I see it when the photo is good.
Thirdly, (let's come back to your topic Wendy) the game Apple is playing with patents is not the way technology should work.
Apple patents everything they think is original. Sadly, the word "original" is no longer how Apple works. It's the green paper they want to squeeze out of every point they can make.

Isn't this already there on some phone ... asking because i just can't imagine Apple spending money on R&D (read Patent) on something that has not been done by someone else already :)

Yes in galaxy note II, we have a feature called best photos where the phone will take a burst 8 images then the phone will suggest the best picture out of the 8 so you can either go with phone suggestions or pick the one you like the most to be saved while the other 7 pictures will be automatically deleted from your phone. OK I can see samsung removing this feature once apple is granted the patent and then sue samsung in the near future.

Yes, it is available in numerous other applications. joseph gives an example. Dedicated cameras have similar 'best-photo' pre-programmed scene modes that function almost exactly as described in the iApplication.
Hopefully, the USPTO rejects the iApplication as invalid on prior art grounds.

It appears that the 2009 application hasn't issued, so USPTO may be having heartburn with Apple. Sometimes, you get an examiner who has an interest (photography) in the subject matter. That would seem to be an iNightmare scenario for Apple - an examiner with good technical subject matter expertise.

aren't various phones already out with an equivalent feature?
Galaxy S III certainly has various implementations of it.

true. Many phones already have this feature. Their theory behind selecting the best image maybe different than that of Apple's but the idea of selecting the best picture is already present amongst several phones.
How on earth they get patent everytime they file for one ? when there is similar technology which is already implemented, whereas they haven't even introduced or implemented the technology !

Why does apple still need to patent this? Other manufacturers already have this feature

There you go, another stupid patent .... imagine if they came up with the 'burst shot' patent....wow ....Apple is trolling like crazy these days

Apple isn't patenting the feature, but the particular way it's done on iOS. Re read the articl people
16. Droid_X_Doug posted on 2 0
Just because a feature is implemented in a different way in iOS does not make it patentable. My Canon PowerShot G9 (circa 2005?) does burst mode where multiple pics are taken with aperture and shutter speed selected by the camera. Adding dynamic range into the mix is not in-and-of-itself unique and innovative.
There is too much prior art around that can invalidate any patent that iApple might be able to game out of the USPTO.

Samsung Galaxy S3 has a software and programmed to select the best picture but Apple is a camera that select the best picture is very crazy ideas. I hope USPO will not award Apple for crazy ideas.

My antiquated Nikon Coolpix point and shoot already has this feature...WOW....i am amazed
