Pause camera feed after inactivity

What

Hi everyone,

@alexgarel suggests me an interesting feature to lower the battery usage.

Imagine your phone has a display timeout of 5 min. If you stay on the Smoothie homepage, it will compute for 5 min.

An automatic pause feature (let's say 1min) would be nice if the user stays on the homepage, without any scan.

It's also really simple to implement.

Maybe in that case we could replace the overlay with a button saying "Scanner paused. Press anywhere to resume."

My idea was even more intrusive with a dialog saying: "To optimize the battery life of your phone, the scanner has been automatically turned off after 1 min of inactivity". Two buttons -> restart scanner / keep the scanner paused.

For the second option, the visor is replaced by your suggestion @VaiTon

I really like it @g123k !

I'm not completely sure it's a good idea, given the confusion around black screens.

Ok, let's close the issue for now.
But the idea to pause the feed is to show a paused screenshot, not a black screen.
