Abstract
An image capturing device includes a memory, a communication unit, and a processor. The memory stores a guiding system configured for guiding a user to capture an image including himself. The processor is configured for activating the system to: perform a facial recognition function on a current checking image to determine a face portion in the checking image, determine if the face portion is fully within a predetermined region of the checking image, and control the communication unit to instruct the user to adjust position of the image capturing device according to the position of the face portion in relation to the predetermined region upon the condition that the face portion is not fully within the predetermined region.
