Patent number: 11665425Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for operating a camera sense mode. One apparatus includes a processor, a camera, and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The code is executable by the processor to determine, by use of the processor, whether the camera is set to a camera sense mode. The camera sense mode is a mode of the camera configured to use the camera as a sensor. The code is executable by the processor to, in response to the camera being set to the camera sense mode: analyze images captured by the camera, using a sensing application, to determine information related to the images; and inhibit applications separate from the sensing application from accessing images captured by the camera.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2020Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte.
