  • Patent number: 10582125
    Abstract: A video capture device may include multiple cameras that simultaneously capture video data. The video capture device and/or one or more remote computing resources may stitch the video data captured by the multiple cameras to generate stitched video data that corresponds to 360° video. The remote computing resources may apply one or more algorithms to the stitched video data to identify one or more frames that depict content that is likely to be of interest to a user. The video capture device and/or the remote computing resources may generate one or more images from the one or more frames, and may send the one or more images to the user.

  • Patent number: 10541000
    Abstract: One or more frames of video data may depict content that is determined to likely be of interest to a user. A video segment that includes the one or more frames may be determined. Based at least partly on one or more first summarization parameters associated with the user, a first video summarization may be generated, where the first video summarization includes the first video segment and possibly other video segments associated with the video data. The first video summarization may be provided to the user. Upon receiving data that is representative of user feedback relating to the first video summarization, one or more second summarization parameters may be determined based at least partly on the data. A second video summarization of the video data may be generated based at least partly on the one or more second summarization parameters. The second video summarization may then be provided to the user.

  • Patent number: 10025776
    Abstract: Systems and methods for an online mediated language translation market are described. A language translation mediation (“LTM”) system may provide customers with the ability to request and receive language translation services on demand and/or in real-time. Language translation services may be provided by the language translation mediation system, for example via translators who know multiple languages, in exchange for a translation fee. A customer may request a translation of text, images, audio and/or video content from the LTM system, the LTM system routes the translation request to one or more translators who may perform the translation, and the LTM system provides one or more selected translations to the customer. In some embodiments the LTM system may determine a price for a translation and/or facilitate payment on behalf of, or from, the customer, to the translator who provided the translation for the customer.

  • Patent number: 9819610
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to routers and quality of service (QoS) systems and methods that base decisions on the identification of one or more users of computing devices within the environment. Profiles and/or attributes associated with the users may be created and dynamically updated to optimize user experience. For example, the routers may dynamically adapt QoS settings to regulate bandwidth, latency and other parameters to prioritize users and/or optimize a specific user's experience based on the user's priority, personal profile, and/or other attributes.

  • Patent number: 9304674
    Abstract: A system for navigating content may be responsive to movement of a hand by a user toward and away from a display surface. The content may be visually arranged and presented as a stack of visual panes. Moving the hand away from the display surface causes the panes to move upwardly through the stack. Moving the hand toward the display surface causes the panes to move downwardly through the stack. When moving upward, the otherwise topmost pane is deactivated and hidden. Upon reaching the top of the stack, a pane is activated and displayed in full.

  • Patent number: 9107023
    Abstract: Techniques are provided to use near-field speakers to add depth information that may be missing, incomplete, or imperceptible in far-field sound waves from far-field speakers, and to remove the multi-channel cross talk and reflected sound waves that otherwise may be inherent in a listening space with the far-field speakers alone. In some possible embodiments, a calibration tone may be monitored at each of a listener's ears. The calibration tone may be emitted by two or more far-field speakers. One or more audio portions from two or more near-field speakers may be outputted based on results of monitoring the calibration tone.
