Classification: CPC F  A | IPC A  F

Claim 0:
1. An electronic device, comprising:
an image capture device comprising an imager configured to capture one or more images from an environment of the electronic device;
one or more processors operable with the image capture device; and
a wireless communication circuit operable with the one or more processors;
the one or more processors determining, from images of a face and torso of a user of the electronic device captured by the image capture device, that a heartrate of the user of the electronic device increases by a predetermined threshold above a resting level heartrate of the user of the electronic device and, in response to the heartrate increasing by the predetermined threshold above the resting level heartrate, causing the wireless communication circuit to transmit a climate adjustment request to a climate control device operable to alter an ambient temperature of an environment of the electronic device;
the image capture device comprising an always-on image capture device;
the climate control device comprising one of a fan or an air conditioner, the climate adjustment request comprising a request to reduce a temperature of an environment of the electronic device; and
the one or more processors further determining that the heartrate of the user of the electronic device falls to the resting level heartrate of the user of the electronic device and, in response, causing the wireless communication circuit to transmit another climate adjustment request to the climate control device requesting the temperature of the environment of the electronic device return to a level existing before the one or more processors caused the wireless communication circuit to transmit the climate adjustment request.
