Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for sharing content across a social network can include: receiving content (e.g., a content update) for a content channel (e.g., at a channel node of a set of remote channel nodes); assigning a content identifier to the content; transmitting the content with the content identifier to a user account associated with the content channel; and modifying the content channel with the content based on the content identifier.

Abstract: A method for displaying images, including: receiving an input video; selecting a primary frame and a delayed frame from the input video; generating a generated frame by mixing the primary frame with the delayed frame in a spatially non-uniform manner; generating a first output video including the generated frame; generating a second output video based on the input video; and displaying the first and second output videos to a viewer. A method for displaying images, including: controlling a camera to sample an input video; generating an output frame by mixing a plurality of frames of the input video in a spatially non-uniform manner; generating a first output video including the output frame; generating a second output video based on the input video; and controlling a display unit to concurrently display the first and second output videos to a viewer.

Abstract: Techniques for communicating using tactile stimuli on wearable devices are disclosed. In some examples, a signal representing a state of a user of a first wearable device is received at a second wearable device. A control signal is generated based on the state, and the control signal is configured to generate a tactile stimulus. Transmission of the tactile stimulus to a region exterior to the second wearable device is caused. In some examples, a signal representing a first attribute of a first force from sensors of a first wearable device is received at a second wearable device. A control signal is generated based on the first attribute, and the control signal is configured to generate a second force that has a second attribute that is substantially similar to the first attribute. Transmission of the second force to a region external to the second wearable device is caused.

Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to the health field, and more specifically to a new and useful method for measuring detecting physiological characteristics, such as heart rate, of an organism. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting one or more surfaces associated with an organism, and receiving components of light reflected from the one or more surfaces of the organism. The components can be represented as data from a light capture device. Also, the method can include identifying subsets of light components, each subset of light components associated with one or more frequencies, identifying at a processor a time-domain component associated with a change in blood volume associated with the one or more surfaces of the organism, and extracting a physiological characteristic based on the time-domain component.

Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to electrical and electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, and wearable/mobile computing devices configured to facilitate health and wellness monitoring and maintenance. More specifically, disclosed are systems, components and methods to detect physiological characteristics, such as heart rate, of an organism in real-time based on components of light. In various embodiments, a method can include receiving color channel signals including imagery data generated by, for example, an image capture device. A linear combination of the color channel signals can form a combined color channel signal. The method also can include transforming continuously the combined color channel signal to establish local maxima associated with multiple scales. Further, portions of time associated with the local maxima can be identified and data signal representing a physiological characteristic can be generated.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present application relate generally to electrical and electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, wearable, hand held, portable computing devices for facilitating communication of information, and the fields of healthcare and personal health. More specifically the present application relates generally to the field of personal health, and more specifically to new and useful systems and methods for monitoring the health of a user as applied to the field of healthcare and personal health. A system optically detects facial features of a user and analyzes the features along with weight information about the user to make one or more recommendations to the user that are related to the user's health. The weight information may be wirelessly transmitted to the system by a wirelessly-enabled scale (e.g., a bath scale), data capable strap band, wristband, wristwatch, digital watch, or wireless activity monitoring and reporting device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present application relate generally to electrical and electronic hardware, computer software, wired and wireless network communications, wearable, hand held, portable computing devices for facilitating communication of information, and the fields of healthcare and personal health. More specifically the present application relates to a new and useful systems, methods and apparatus for estimating body fat in a user with applications in the healthcare and personal health fields. An electronic device, such as a portable electronic device (e.g., smartphone, pad, tablet, etc.) may include software (e.g., an APP) to implement body fat estimates of a user and may use hardware and/or software resident in the electronic device (e.g., display, accelerometer, gyroscopes, transducers, vibration engines, speakers, microphones, GPS capability, etc.) to aid a user in placing the electronic device at instructed location on the user's body and to apply an impulse to the body at instructed locations.

Abstract: A method and system for assessing behavior of a webpage visitor includes providing a mining tool that is embedded within a webpage, sending a link list from a controlled server to a browser accessing a webpage, capturing visit-evaluations of the website links of the link list by the browser, and generating a browsing profile of a webpage visitor from the visit-evaluations of the website links of the link list.
