Abstract: Electronic devices are adapted to generate cryptographic keys from one or more biometrics. According to one examples, an electronic device can obtain a non-encoded bit string associated with biometric information for an individual. The non-encoded bit string can be treated as if it were encoded and a decoding operation may be applied to the bit string, resulting in a modified bit string. One or more cryptographic keys can then be generated based at least in part on the modified bit string. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

Abstract: Methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory processor-readable storage media for authenticating a computing device to access functionalities. An embodiment method may include operations for receiving in the computing device a signal from a proximity beacon device, obtaining from the received signal information that indicates whether the proximity beacon device has detected movement, determining whether the obtained information matches stored data corresponding to the proximity beacon device, performing an abbreviated authentication operations for the computing device to access the functionalities when it is determined that the obtained information from the received signal matches the stored data, and performing a normal authentication operations for the computing device to access the functionalities when it is determined that the obtained information from the received signal does not match the stored data.

Abstract: A method (800) is disclosed of producing an instruction set for rendering on a graphic display (114). The instruction set includes a plurality of time containers (502, 503, 504) to be rendered, with each time container (502, 503, 504) containing at least one timed element to be displayed on the display (114). However, the instruction set must obey a rule forbidding a time container (502, 503, 504) from referencing the content of a different time container (502, 503, 504). The method (800) starts by adding (802) an attribute (505, 506, 507, 508) to a particular time container (502, 503, 504), the attribute (505, 506, 507, 508) being associated with an event, the event being associated with a target element contained within the particular time container (502, 503, 504). Correspondence between the event and an effect on the display of a further time container (502, 503, 504) is then provided (803), in a manner consistent with the rule.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for color correction in display devices. In one aspect, the display device can include a plurality of display elements capable of reflecting ambient light. The display device can include a sensor to determine a color temperature of the ambient light. The display device also can include a processor that can receive image data, determine a color conversion parameter based on the color temperature, perform color conversion of the image data based on the color conversion parameter, and adjust at least one display element based on the color converted image data to provide a color within the color gamut of the ambient light.

Abstract: In a method of compositing graphic elements in a pixel-based renderer, a first graphic element is received having a first color and a first opacity, and a second graphic element is received having a second color and a second opacity. A blend output is obtained from a blend function dependent on the first color and the second color, and a resultant color is determined of a compositing operation on the first and second graphic elements, with the resultant color being dependent on the blend output and otherwise being independent of the second color.
