the subject templates of different eye positions comprising;
when one of the eyes is still, when one of the eyes moves upward, when one of the eyes moves downward, when one of the eyes moves left, when one of the eyes moves right, when one of the eyes moves upper-left, when one of the eves moves down-left, when one of the eves moves upper-right, and when one of the eyes moves down-right;
the matching subject template being obtained from the subject templates of different subject status according to the height of the detected eye area when the height of the detected eye area is less than a first preset value or greater than a second preset value;
the matching subject template being obtained from the subject templates of different eye positions according to the coordinate of the eye in the detected eye area when the height of the detected eye area is greater than or equal to the first preset value and less than or equal to the second preset value;
determining a control command corresponding to the matching subject template; and
adjusting at least one of a position of the image capture device, an angle or a focal length of a lens of the image capture device according to the control command.

Abstract
A method for controlling an image capture device obtains an image captured by a camera of an electronic device, detects an eye area in the obtained image, and determines a matching subject template by comparing the detected eye area with a plurality of subject templates. The method further determines a control command corresponding to the matching subject template, and sends the control command to the image capture device to adjust movements of the image capture device.
