AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Users face limitations in controlling camera operations to capture unique moments, leading to unnecessary resource consumption and potential erroneous data capture, especially when relying on manual timers or direct interaction.

Method used

An automated assistant allows users to specify conditions for capturing images or videos through voice commands, utilizing machine learning models to determine when these conditions are met, thereby reducing the need for direct user interaction and optimizing resource usage.

Benefits of technology

This approach simplifies user input, conserves computing resources, and ensures accurate capture of desired moments by automatically controlling camera operations based on predefined conditions.

Abstract

To provide a method that an automatic assistant controls a camera by a command.SOLUTION: An embodiment specified in the specification is related to an automatic assistant that can control a camera in accordance with one or a plurality of conditions that is cleared by a user. For example, when detecting that a specific environmental characteristic is clear by the automatic assistant, a certain condition can be satisfied. Thus, a certain moment can be defined without requiring a monitoring of an observation port of the camera continuously, and a user can rely on the automatic assistant for capturing. According to an embodiment, a condition when fetching main data by the automatic assistant may be based on application data corresponding to the automatic assistant and / or other context data. For example, a relation between a content in the camera observation port and other contents of an application interface may be a fetching condition of certain constant media data by using the camera by the automatic assistant.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1A
