Device for operating a camera in a private mode and a non-private mode

摘要

An electronic device to operate a camera in a private mode and non-private mode is provided. The electronic device includes a user interface (UI) including a first UI component and a second UI component, and an electronic processor coupled to the UI and the camera. The electronic processor controls the camera to be operated in a private mode in response to detecting an input selecting the first UI component, and a non-private mode in response to detecting an input selecting the second UI component. The electronic processor also tags the images captured in private mode as private images and non-private mode as non-private images. The electronic processor further applies different access policies for accessing the private and non-private images. Further, the first and second UI component are generated as graphical user interface components within a touch screen display of the electronic device.
