Automatic insertion of video into a photo story

摘要

Various embodiments provide a capture device, e.g., a camera, that is configured to have multiple capture modes including an image capture mode and a video capture mode. The capture device can be set to the image capture mode in which images or photos are periodically, automatically captured. Upon detection of a particular event, such as an audibly detectable event, the capture device automatically triggers the video capture mode and begins to capture video. After a period of time, the capture device can transition back to the image capture mode. Transition to the image capture mode can occur in various ways, e.g., after passage of a period of time, after the audibly detectable event terminates or attenuates, by way of user input and the like. In some embodiments, the capture device can be embodied as a wearable camera that is worn by a user.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
enabling, via a capture device, an image capture mode in which images are periodically and automatically captured; capturing, via the capture device, one or more images in the image capture mode; detecting, while the capture device is in the image capture mode, an audible event; responsive to detecting the audible event, automatically triggering, via the capture device, a video capture mode in which video can be captured, the triggering causing the capture device to transition from the image capture mode to the video capture mode; capturing, via the capture device, video in the video capture mode; and transitioning, via the capture device, from the video capture mode to the image capture mode.
