Abstract
A small wearable recall device is provided to capture images triggered by a combination of a detection of a capture condition (e.g., changes in motion, temperature or light level) followed by a relatively stable period, as detected by an accelerometer. By triggering on the combination of a detected capture condition followed by a detected stability condition, a clearer image of the environment of an interesting event is expected to be captured. The small size of the recall device makes it possible to integrate it into common portable consumer products, such as MP3 players, purses, clothing, hats, backpacks, necklaces, collars, and other human-wearable products.

44. A device comprising:
-
an image capture component configured to capture an image, one or more accelerometers; and a controller configured to; receive a first signal from at least one of the accelerometers, the first signal being indicative of movement of the device; based on the first signal, detect a capture condition indicating a change in motion of the device; receive a second signal from at least one of the accelerometers, the second signal being indicative of movement of the device; based on the second signal, detect a stable condition; determine that the stable condition occurred within a defined temporal proximity of the capture condition; and based on the determination, control the device to obtain the image. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59)

60. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving a first sensor signal indicative of a first acceleration of a device; based on the first acceleration, detecting a capture condition by determining that a change in motion of the device is above a threshold; receiving a second sensor signal indicative of a second acceleration of the device; detecting a stable condition by determining that the second acceleration is below a threshold; determining that the stable condition occurred within a defined temporal proximity of e capture condition; based on determining that the stable condition occurred within a defined temporal proximity of the capture condition, controlling an image capture component associated with the device to capture an image; and storing the image in a data storage component. - View Dependent Claims (61)
