Abstract
An electronic device, a method and a computer program product provide techniques for reducing power consumption of an always on camera (AoC) when the device is operating in an AoC mode. The method includes initiating a timer tracking a time period from the activation of an AoC mode. The method includes capturing a first image preview and monitoring for movement of the device indicative of a change in at least one of a position or an orientation of the electronic device. The method includes, in response to expiration of the time period, without detecting movement of the electronic device, capturing a second image preview using the camera and determining if the second image preview is similar to the first image preview. In response to the first image preview being similar to the second image preview, the method includes modifying the AoC mode to reduce power usage by the camera.
