Abstract
A method, a communication device and a computer program product for managing communication device calls based on facial recognition. The method includes detecting, via a processor of a communication device, an incoming call and triggering an image capture device to capture image data from a field of view of the image capture device. The method further includes receiving the image data from the image capture device and retrieving reference image data from a memory. The method further includes determining if the image data is substantially similar to the reference image data and in response to the image data being substantially similar to the reference image data, stopping at least one notification associated with the incoming call.
