Abstract
Wearable computing devices and methods for automatically capturing images using an image sensor of a wearable computing device are described. In one example, the wearable computing device includes a device body, an image sensor, an output device, a display, and a processor, and the processor is configured to initialize and monitor a timer and, in response to determining that a predetermined time interval less a predetermined alert period has elapsed, activate an output device of the wearable computing device. The processor is also configured to, in response to determining that the predetermined time interval has elapsed, activate the image sensor to capture at least one image.
Claims15
A wearable computing device comprising:
- a device body;
- an image sensor;
- an output device;
- a display;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the image sensor, the output device, and the display, the processor configured to execute instructions of one or more application modules, the execution of the one or more application modules causing the processor to:
- initialize and monitor a timer;
- in response to determining, using the timer, that a predetermined time interval less a predetermined alert period has elapsed:
- activate an output device of the wearable computing device;
- and
- in response to determining that the predetermined time interval has elapsed:
- activate the image sensor to capture at least one image.
A method for automatically capturing images using an image sensor of a wearable computing device, the method comprising:
- receiving a predetermined time interval;
- receiving a predetermined alert period;
- initializing a timer;
- in response to determining, using the timer, that the predetermined time interval less the predetermined alert period has elapsed:
- activating an output device of the wearable computing device;
- and
- in response to determining that the predetermined time interval has elapsed:
- activating the image sensor to capture at least one image.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer processor, cause the processor to carry out a method for automatically capturing images using an image sensor of a wearable computing device, the method comprising:
- receiving a predetermined time interval;
- receiving a predetermined alert period;
- initializing a timer;
- in response to determining, using the timer, that the predetermined time interval less the predetermined alert period has elapsed:
- activating an output device of the wearable computing device;
- and
- in response to determining that the predetermined time interval has elapsed:
- activating the image sensor to capture at least one image.
