Techniques and equipment for disabling an automatic display shutoff function of a mobile device based on face detection are disclosed. The automatic display shutoff function generally disables or deactivates the display after a predetermined period of time, during which there is no input from a user of the mobile device. An image captured using a front facing camera of the mobile device may be used to detect at least a portion of the user's face and thus, override the automatic display shutoff function before expiration of the period of time without detecting any user input and during execution of an application program associated with the display of information for a time longer than the predetermined period of time. |
