Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for determining image capture settings based on an audio input are disclosed. In some aspects, a device includes a memory, a camera including a lens and a sensor, and a processor coupled to the camera and the memory. The processor may be configured to receive an audio input, determine contextual information based on the audio input, determine one or more image capture settings based on the contextual information, and output the one or more image capture settings.
Claims57
A device, comprising:
- a memory;
- a camera including a lens and a sensor;
- and
- a processor coupled to the camera and the memory, the processor configured to:
- receive an audio input via a microphone prior to initializing a camera application of the device;
- determine contextual information based on the audio input prior to initializing the camera application, the contextual information being associated with at least one characteristic of a scene;
- initialize the camera application;
- determine one or more statistics of at least a current frame of the scene, the one or more statistics being associated with the at least one characteristic of the scene;
- determine a first weight value for a first type of the at least one characteristic of the scene and a second weight value for a second type of the at least one characteristic of the scene based on the one or more statistics of at least the current frame and most recent contextual information from the contextual information determined based on the audio input, the most recent contextual information being determined from the contextual information within a threshold period of time prior to initializing the camera application, wherein the first weight value is higher than the second weight value;
- determine one or more image capture settings based on the first type of the at least one characteristic of the scene based on the first weight value being higher than the second weight value;
- and
- upon initialization of the camera application, output the one or more image capture settings.

A method, comprising:
- receiving, via a microphone included within a device, an audio input prior to initializing a camera application of the device;
- determining, via the device, contextual information based on the audio input prior to initializing the camera application, the contextual information being associated with at least one characteristic of a scene;
- initializing the camera application;
- determining, via the device, one or more statistics of at least a current frame of the scene, the one or more statistics being associated with the at least one characteristic of the scene;
- determining, via the device, a first weight value for a first type of the at least one characteristic of the scene and a second weight value for a second type of the at least one characteristic of the scene based on the one or more statistics of at least the current frame and most recent contextual information from the contextual information determined based on the audio input, the most recent contextual information being determined from the contextual information within a threshold period of time prior to initializing the camera application, wherein the first weight value is higher than the second weight value;
- determining, via the device, one or more image capture settings based on the first type of the at least one characteristic of the scene based on the first weight value being higher than the second weight value;
- and
- upon initialization of the camera application, outputting, via the device, the one or more image capture settings.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a device to:
- receive an audio input via a microphone prior to initializing a camera application of the device;
- determine contextual information based on the audio input prior to initializing the camera application, the contextual information being associated with at least one characteristic of a scene;
- initialize the camera application;
- determine one or more statistics of at least a current frame of the scene, the one or more statistics being associated with the at least one characteristic of the scene;
- determine a first weight value for a first type of the at least one characteristic of the scene and a second weight value for a second type of the at least one characteristic of the scene based on the one or more statistics of at least the current frame and most recent contextual information from the contextual information determined based on the audio input, the most recent contextual information being determined from the contextual information within a threshold period of time prior to initializing the camera application, wherein the first weight value is higher than the second weight value;
- determine one or more image capture settings based on the first type of the at least one characteristic of the scene based on the first weight value being higher than the second weight value;
- and
- upon initialization of the camera application, output the one or more image capture settings.
