Abstract: In one embodiment, while a mobile electronic device is in a first operation state, it receives sensor data from one or more sensors of the mobile electronic device. The mobile electronic device in a locked state analyzes the sensor data to estimate whether an unlock operation is imminent, and in response to a positive determination, initializes the camera subsystem so that the camera is ready to capture a face as soon as the user directs the camera lens to his or her face. In particular embodiments, the captured image is utilized by a facial recognition algorithm to determine whether the user is authorized to use the mobile device. In particular embodiments, the captured facial recognition image may be leveraged for use on a social network.

Abstract: In one embodiment, note is received from a first user, comprising a message and a first location. The first location may be specified by the first user. A number of second users are identified based on a respective second location of each identified second user being within a threshold distance of the first location. The message of the note is sent to the identified second users. When the message is sent, it is determined whether a current location of the first user is within a predetermined distance from the first location. If the current location is within the predetermined distance, a notification is sent to the first user informing the first user that the message has been sent to the identified second users.
