Claims20
A method comprising:
- at a device including a camera, a sensor, one or more processors and a non-transitory memory:
- obtaining, via the sensor, sensor data indicative of a location of the device;
- obtaining, via a pose sensor, pose data indicating a pose of the device or a body part of a user of the device;
- and
- activating the camera in response to the location satisfying a location criterion and the pose satisfying a pose criterion.
A device comprising:
- a camera;
- a sensor;
- a non-transitory memory;
- and
- one or more processors to:
- obtain, via the sensor, sensor data indicative of a location of the device;
- obtain, via a pose sensor, pose data indicating a pose of the device or a body part of a user of the device;
- and
- activate the camera in response to the location satisfying a location criterion and the pose satisfying a pose criterion.
A non-transitory memory storing one or more programs, which, when executed by one or more processors of a device including a camera and a sensor, cause the device to:
- obtain, via the sensor, sensor data indicative of a location of the device;
- obtain, via a pose sensor, pose data indicating a pose of the device or a body part of a user of the device;
- and
- activate the camera in response to the location satisfying a location criterion and the pose satisfying a pose criterion.
