CONDITIONAL CAMERA CONTROL VIA AUTOMATED ASSISTANT COMMANDS

The abstract of this patent application describes an automated assistant that can control a camera based on conditions specified by a user. The assistant can detect specific features in the environment and capture moments without the user needing to constantly monitor the camera.

The automated assistant can control a camera based on conditions specified by the user.
It can detect specific environment features and capture moments accordingly.
The user does not need to constantly monitor the camera.
The assistant can use application data and contextual data to determine when to capture media data.
The relationship between content in the camera viewing window and other content of an application interface can be a condition for capturing media data.

Potential Applications

Photography and videography: The automated assistant can be used to capture specific moments or scenes without the need for constant monitoring.
Surveillance: The assistant can detect specific features or events and capture media data accordingly, enhancing security systems.
Sports analysis: The assistant can be used to capture specific moments during a game or practice session, providing valuable footage for analysis and training purposes.

Problems Solved

Constant monitoring: The automated assistant eliminates the need for users to constantly monitor a camera, allowing them to focus on other tasks or activities.
Missed moments: By automatically detecting and capturing specific moments, the assistant ensures that important events are not missed or overlooked.
Contextual awareness: The assistant uses application data and contextual information to determine when to capture media data, enhancing its ability to capture relevant moments.

Benefits

Convenience: Users can rely on the automated assistant to capture important moments without the need for constant attention.
Enhanced security: The assistant's ability to detect specific features or events can improve surveillance systems and enhance security measures.
Efficiency: By automating the process of capturing media data, the assistant saves time and effort for users.
Improved analysis: The assistant's ability to capture specific moments can provide valuable footage for analysis and training purposes in various fields.

Original Abstract Submitted

Implementations set forth herein relate to an automated assistant that can control a camera according to one or more conditions specified by a user. A condition can be satisfied when, for example, the automated assistant detects a particular environment feature is apparent. In this way, the user can rely on the automated assistant to identify and capture certain moments without necessarily requiring the user to constantly monitor a viewing window of the camera. In some implementations, a condition for the automated assistant to capture media data can be based on application data and/or other contextual data that is associated with the automated assistant. For instance, a relationship between content in a camera viewing window and other content of an application interface can be a condition upon which the automated assistant captures certain media data using a camera.
