Abstract

A camera invocation gesture to access a first camera on a mobile device is received by the mobile device. Responsive to receiving the camera invocation gesture, a second camera on the mobile device is utilized to ascertain a context associated with whether a user likely intends to take a picture. If the mobile device ascertains that the user likely intends to take a picture, the mobile device can be placed in an operational picture mode in which pictures can be or can continue to be taken and saved on the mobile device. If the mobile device ascertains, from the context associated with the second camera, that the user likely does not intend to take a picture, then any pictures that are or were taken can be saved and the user can be prompted as to whether they wish to delete the pictures.
