Problems solved by technology

[0005] Another approach is to reduce the time between capturing photos, but this results in too much data being captured at the wrong occasions
Taking lots of uninteresting photos can harass users and drain battery life and data storage

Abstract

A lifelog camera is configured to capture the digital image without user input upon detection of a sound-based trigger in an audio signal output by a microphone present at the lifelog camera. The sound-based trigger is indicative of activity of the user or another 5 person near the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The technology of the present disclosure relates generally to lifelog cameras, and more particularly to a lifelog camera controlled to take pictures in response to a voice trigger. Background technique [0002] A lifelog camera is a camera device, typically worn by a user, that is used to capture photographs serving a photographic memory of events occurring in the user's vicinity. Traditional lifelogging cameras are configured to capture images on a timed basis. In some devices, for example, images are captured every 30 seconds. If made to take pictures over the course of hours or a full day, a lifelog camera may take hundreds or thousands of pictures at predetermined intervals. Under this approach, many of the images captured by traditional lifelogging cameras are not very interesting. As a result, the lifelog camera's memory can become filled with photos that are not of interest to the user. The more dramatic moments can happen fairly quickly bet...
