Systems and methods for capturing images from a lock screen

摘要

Techniques for entering an image-capture user interface from a locked mobile device and capturing an image while the mobile device is still in a locked state. In an example implementation, a mobile device at a lock-screen may detect a change in orientation of the mobile device from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation. In response, the mobile device may display an image-capture UI. In some implementations, the image-capture UI may be overlaid over or displayed concurrently with one or more elements of the lock-screen. Accordingly, the mobile device may provide visual notice to a user that the phone is still in a locked state while offering image capture functionality. In another implementation, the mobile device may provide another indication that the mobile device is still locked.

1. A method comprising:
displaying, by a mobile device in a portrait orientation, a lock-screen user interface; responsive to determining that the mobile device, while still displaying the lock-screen user interface, has entered a landscape orientation, displaying a live image-capture preview concurrently with at least a portion of the lock-screen user interface such that one or more elements of the lock-screen user interface are still visible; and responsive to receiving, at the mobile device, user input corresponding to an image capture command, capturing, by the mobile device, an image corresponding to the live image-capture preview.
