Systems and methods for restricting capture of self-portrait images on mobile devices

A system for restricting capture of self-portrait images on mobile devices, the system comprising:

• at least one physical processor;
• and
• physical memory comprising computer-executable instructions and one or more modules that, when executed by the physical processor, cause the physical processor to:
• capture, by a capture module, sensor data associated with a surrounding environment;
• detect, by a detection module, a user input for taking one or more self-portrait images;
• determine, by a determining module and based on the sensor data, one or more potential hazards associated with the taking of the self-portrait images within the surrounding environment;
• and
• perform, by a security module, a security action to protect against the potential hazards associated with the taking of the self-portrait images within the surrounding environment, wherein the security module performs the security action by:
• generating an alert comprising a warning of the potential hazards associated with the taking of the self-portrait images within the surrounding environment;
• requesting an acknowledgment of the alert from a party associated with the taking of the self-portrait images;
• and
• sending the alert to another party when the acknowledgment of the alert from the party associated with the taking of the self-portrait images has been discarded.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• capture sensor data associated with a surrounding environment;
• detect a user input for taking one or more self-portrait images;
• determine, based on the sensor data, one or more potential hazards associated with the taking of the self-portrait images within the surrounding environment;
• and
• perform a security action to protect against the potential hazards associated with the taking of the self-portrait images within the surrounding environment, wherein the one or more computer-executable instructions cause the computing device to perform the security action by:
• generating an alert comprising a warning of the potential hazards associated with the taking of the self-portrait images within the surrounding environment;
• requesting an acknowledgment of the alert from a party associated with the taking of the self-portrait images;
• and
• sending the alert to another party when the acknowledgment of the alert from the party associated with the taking of the self-portrait images has been discarded.
