    Abstract: An electronic system, a method, and a computer program product support wireless communication with reduced distraction for a driver experiencing challenging driving conditions. The method includes initiating setup of a communication session by the electronic system as host, via the communication subsystem and the communication network, with a first electronic device and second electronic device(s). In response to determining that the first electronic device is being used by a driver in a vehicle, the method includes pausing setup of the communication session to reduce distractions to the driver when potentially in a challenging driving condition. The method includes requesting data about the first electronic device that indicates whether current driving conditions allow the driver to communicate without degrading driving performance. The method includes completing setup of the communication session in response to verifying that the driver is able to communicate while safely operating the vehicle under the current driving conditions.

    Abstract: An electronic device incorporates, and method and computer program product provide improved auto white balance (AWB) performance. The electronic device receives first image content from a first image capturing device of an electronic device. The electronic device receives second image content from a second image capturing device. The second image capturing device has a second field of view (FOV) that differs from a first FOV of the first image capturing device. The controller identifying, during an image capturing process for a target image within the first FOV, whether a condition exists that causes a distortion in a white balance of the first image content. In response to identifying that the condition exists, the controller captures the second image content within the second FOV, determining an AWB value for the second image content, and automatically adjusting the first image content using the AWB value for the second image content.

    Abstract: An electronic device, a method and a computer program product for controlling multiple cameras. The method includes detecting, via at least one processor, activation of a first camera of an electronic device to capture a first image incorporating a first region of interest within a field of view of the first camera and in response to detecting selection of a dual camera superimposed selfie capture mode for completing the image capture, capturing, via the first camera, the first image that includes the first region of interest. The method further includes contemporaneously capturing, via a second camera, a second image containing at least one face, cropping a facial image comprising the at least one face from the second image and superimposing the facial image onto the first image to generate a first composite image.

    Abstract: A method provides camera adjustments based on eye gaze tracking and non-video contextual input. The method includes capturing, via a front facing camera, a face of a user and determining an eye gaze direction of the user based on a first image in a first image stream. The method includes receiving non-video input, determining, from the non-video input, one or more contexts related to a focus of the first user, and selecting a camera, at least partially based on the eye gaze direction and the one or more contexts. The method includes: generating at least one camera setting of a selected camera at least partially based on the first location and the context(s) determined from the non-video input; and activating the selected camera as an active camera, with the at least one camera setting, to capture a field of view that includes the focus of the first user.

    Abstract: A monitoring system incorporates, and method and computer program product provide image projection of content of subjective interest to a person responsive to a detected mood of the person. A controller of the monitoring system receives image stream(s) from a camera system including image capturing device(s) that a first image stream encompassing a face of a person. The controller compares the first image stream with facial expression trigger(s) in a visual object library. In response to determining that the first image stream includes facial expression trigger(s) among the visual object library, the controller determines one or more objects in the visual object library having an associated interest value in the preference tracking data structure above a threshold soothing value corresponding to the person. The controller triggers an image projector to present the object(s) within the field of view of the person to respond to the trigger.

    Abstract: An electronic device, a method, and a computer program product for presenting a user-selectable option corresponding to at least one preferred camera setting of a primary user for a secondary user to select to apply while capturing images using a camera of the electronic device. The method includes, in response to activation, via a processor, of a first camera of the electronic device to a first image capturing mode, presenting on a display, a first graphical user interface comprising at least one user-selectable option corresponding to at least one preferred camera setting for the secondary user to select to apply while capturing images using the first camera. In response to the secondary user selecting the user-selectable option to use the at least one preferred camera setting, the processor triggers the first camera to apply the preferred camera settings and to capture an image using the preferred camera settings.

    Abstract: An electronic system, a method, and a computer program product support wireless communication with reduced distraction for a driver experiencing challenging driving conditions. The method includes communicating, via a communication subsystem of an electronic system and via a communication network, with a first electronic device participating in a communication session with at least one second electronic device, the communication session hosted by the electronic system. In response to determining that the first electronic device is being used by a driver in a vehicle, the method includes: receiving data about the first electronic device that indicates whether current driving conditions allow the driver to communicate without degrading driving performance; and restricting transmission of new communication inputs from the communication session to the first electronic device to reduce distractions to the driver when the received data indicates the driver is potentially in a challenging driving condition.

    Abstract: A monitoring system incorporates, and method and computer program product provide a monitoring system that captures image stream of regions of interest based on identified facial cues of a person. A controller of the monitoring system receives a first image stream that encompasses a face of a person and a second image stream that encompasses surrounding object(s) and surface(s) viewable by the person. The controller detects a facial expression of the face. In response to determining that the facial expression is a mood associated expression, the controller determines, from the first image stream, an eye gaze direction of the person. The controller determines a region of interest (ROI) aligned with the eye gaze direction. The controller captures the second image stream and identifies an object contained within the ROI. The controller communicates a notification including the expression and the object within the ROI to an output device.
