METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INSTANT CAPTURE OF CONTENT

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for instant capture of content are described. A method may include placing an image capture device in an aware state and capturing aware state data. The aware state may include enabling low power sensors or entering the image capture into an event mode. A content capture opportunity is automatically determined from the captured aware state data. The aware state data may be image information and a classifier classifies the image information. The aware state data may be position data for the image capture device and when the image capture device is in a capture position, the image capture device may instantly capture image information. An image capture device mode is automatically selected for the content capture opportunity and content is automatically captured with the selected image capture device mode.
