A media device and a method for capturing viewer images

摘要

Images of a viewer (202) watching programming on a media presentation device (204) can be captured for storage or display. A program stream (102) to be presented on the presentation device (204) has events and scenes of interest identified by event capture triggers (114). When a processor (210) associated with the presentation device (204) detects the occurrence of an event capture trigger an image capture device (230), such as a camera, is activated to capture an image of the viewer. Those captured images may be stored or may be displayed by the presentation device.
