Abstract
An electronic device, a method and a computer program product provide techniques for automating self-image capturing, via a camera, when the device is in an always on camera mode. The method includes determining if a captured image stream contains a face of a user. In response to determining the image stream contains the face of the first user, the method includes determining whether an eye gaze direction of the user corresponds to a direction of the camera. In response to determining the user is looking towards the direction of the camera, the method includes determining if the electronic device is in an orientation that corresponds with the user taking a self-image. In response to determining the electronic device is in a selfie-taking orientation, while the user is looking towards the direction of the camera, the method includes autonomously capturing, via the camera, a self-photo image and storing the self-photo image.
