Voice-controlled camera operations
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving audio input at a computing device;
while the computing device is in a low-power state, performing a single voice recognition event by;
comparing the received audio input with an expected audio command associated with an image capture operation, the expected audio command comprising at least one word; and
based on the comparing, determining that the received audio input matches the at least one word; and
in response to performing the single voice recognition event, without receiving further audio input, both transitioning the computing device from a low-power state to an active state and causing an image capture device to capture one or more digital images.

Abstract
A computing device (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet computer, digital camera, or other device with image capture functionality) causes an image capture device to capture one or more digital images based on audio input (e.g., a voice command) received by the computing device. For example, a user'"'"'s voice (e.g., a word or phrase) is converted to audio input data by the computing device, which then compares (e.g., using an audio matching algorithm) the audio input data to an expected voice command associated with an image capture application. In another aspect, a computing device activates an image capture application and captures one or more digital images based on a received voice command. In another aspect, a computing device transitions from a low-power state to an active state, activates an image capture application, and causes a camera device to capture digital images based on a received voice command.

16. One or more computer-readable memory or storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions operable to cause a mobile computing device to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving a voice command associated with an image capture application, wherein the mobile computing device comprises an image capture device controlled by the image capture application; and responsive to the received voice command, and without receiving additional voice commands; performing a single voice recognition event by determining that the received voice command includes an expected word or group of words; and upon performing the single voice recognition event; transitioning the mobile computing device from a low-power state to an active state; activating the image capture application; and capturing one or more digital images with the image capture device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 20)

19. A mobile device that includes one or more processors, a camera device, plural output devices, memory and storage media, the storage media storing computer-executable instructions for causing the mobile device to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving an image capture voice command when the mobile device is in a low-power state, the mobile device having stored thereon computer-executable instructions corresponding to a plurality of applications operable to be executed on the mobile device, the plurality of applications comprising an image capture application and one or more other applications; capturing one or more digital images with the camera device through speech recognition while the mobile device remains in a device locked state by; determining that the received image capture voice command comprises a match for an expected voice command associated with the image capture application using speech recognition; and responsive to the determining; transitioning from the low-power state to an active state; activating the image capture application on the mobile device; outputting feedback by one or more of the output devices, the feedback indicating that the received image capture voice command has been recognized; and causing the camera device to capture one or more digital images.
