Initializing camera subsystem for face detection based on sensor inputs
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- by a computing device, monitoring one or more sensors, wherein the computing device is in a locked state, and the computing device is associated with an authorized user of a social-networking system;
by the computing device, in response to detecting input from at least one of the one or more sensors, determining, based on the input, whether an unlock operation is imminent;
by the computing device, upon determining that the unlock operation is imminent;
identifying, based on information associated with the authorized user, content to be downloaded from the social-networking system, anddownloading the identified content from the social-networking system, wherein the identified content is stored for display after the computing device is unlocked.

Abstract
In one embodiment, while a mobile electronic device is in a first operation state, it receives sensor data from one or more sensors of the mobile electronic device. The mobile electronic device in a locked state analyzes the sensor data to estimate whether an unlock operation is imminent, and in response to a positive determination, initializes the camera subsystem so that the camera is ready to capture a face as soon as the user directs the camera lens to his or her face. In particular embodiments, the captured image is utilized by a facial recognition algorithm to determine whether the user is authorized to use the mobile device. In particular embodiments, the captured facial recognition image may be leveraged for use on a social network.
