Automatic time lapse capture

摘要

In one embodiment, a mobile device captures images at a rate different than playback speed. The mobile device receives a user input to initiate a collection of image data by a mobile device. A timer is incremented in response to the collection of image data or in response to the user input. The mobile device compares an elapsed time of the timer to a threshold. The image data is captured at a first frame rate until the elapsed time reaches the threshold and at a second frame rate when the timer exceeds the threshold. A series of thresholds may be used.

1. A method comprising:
receiving a user input to initiate a collection of image data by a mobile device; incrementing a timer in response to the collection of image data; receiving location data for the mobile device; selecting a first frame rate based on the location data; capturing the image data at the first frame rate; comparing the timer to a time threshold; and capturing the image data at a second frame rate when the timer exceeds the time threshold.
