Timed image deletion from a personal electronic device
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for timed deletion of images from a personal electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processing unit of the personal electronic device, an image from a camera of the personal electronic device;
storing, by the processing unit, the image in a first location in a memory of the personal electronic device;
storing, by the processing unit, an indication of an expiration time for the image in the memory of the personal electronic device; and
removing, by the processing unit, the image from the first location in the memory based on a determination that a current time has passed the expiration time,wherein the indication of the expiration time is automatically created, by the processing unit, based on an analysis of a content of the image.
