Abstract: Depth information can be used to assist with image processing functionality, such as image stabilization and blur reduction. In at least some embodiments, depth information obtained from stereo imaging or distance sensing, for example, can be used to determine a foreground object and background object(s) for an image or frame of video. The foreground object then can be located in later frames of video or subsequent images. Small offsets of the foreground object can be determined, and the offset accounted for by adjusting the subsequent frames or images. Such an approach provides image stabilization for at least a foreground object, while providing simplified processing and reduce power consumption. Similarly processes can be used to reduce blur for an identified foreground object in a series of images, where the blur of the identified object is analyzed.

Abstract: A computing device can obtain information about how the device is held, moved, and/or used by a hand of a user holding the device. The information can be obtained utilizing one or more sensors of the device independently or working in conjunction. For example, an orientation sensor can determine whether a left hand or a right hand is likely rotating, tilting, and/or moving, and thus holding, the device. In another example, a camera and/or a hover sensor can obtain information about a finger position of the user's hand to determine whether the hand is likely a left hand or a right hand. In a further example, a touch sensor can determine a shape of an imprint of a portion of the user's hand to determine which hand is likely holding the device. Based on which hand is holding the device, the device can improve one or more computing tasks.

Each of the plurality of computing nodes includes a global partition table (GPT) to determine an egress computing node for a network packet received at an ingress computing node of the software cluster switch based on a flow identifier of the network packet. The GPT includes a set mapping index that corresponds to a result of a hash function applied to the flow identifier and a hash function index that identifies a hash function of a hash function family whose output results in a node identifier that corresponds to the egress computing node to which the ingress computing node forwards the network packet. Other embodiments are described herein and claimed.

The network device additionally includes a flow lookup table read module to check the version counters during a lookup operation on the flow lookup table to determine whether a displacement operation is affecting the presently read value of the buckets. Other embodiments are described herein and claimed.

Abstract: A user can use a finger, or other such object, to provide input to a computing device. The finger does not have to contact the device, but can be positioned and/or oriented in such a way that the device can determine an input that the user is attempting to provide, such as an element or icon that the user is intended to select. One or more cameras can capture image information, which can be analyzed to attempt to determine the location and/or orientation of the finger. If the finger is at least partially outside a field of view of the camera(s), the device can use a sensor (e.g., EMF) to attempt to determine a location of at least a portion of the finger, which can be used with the image information to determine the location and/or orientation of the finger. Other estimation processes can be used as well.

Abstract: Approaches are described which enable a computing device (e.g., mobile phone, tablet computer) to display alternate views or layers of information within a window on the display screen when a user's finger (or other object) is detected to be within a particular range of the display screen of the device. For example, a device displaying a road map view on the display screen may detect a user's finger near the screen and, in response to detecting the finger, render a small window that shows a portion of a satellite view of the map proximate to the location of the user's finger. As the user's finger moves laterally above the screen, the window can follow the location of the user's finger and display the satellite views of the various portions of the map over which the user's finger passes.

Abstract: Approaches are described for providing input to a portable computing device, such as a mobile phone. A user's hand can be detected based on data (e.g., one or more images) obtained by at least one sensor of the device, such as camera, and the images can be analyzed to locate the hand of the user. As part of the location computation, the device can determine a motion being performed by the hand of the user, and the device can determine a gesture corresponding to the motion. In the situation where the device is controlling a media player capable of playing media content, the gesture can be interpreted by the device to cause the device to, e.g., pause a media track or perform another function with respect to the media content being presented via the device.

Abstract: Elements of a graphical user interface, such as a virtual keypad, can have display characteristics adjusted based upon aspects such as a relative hand or finger position of a user. In one example, the transparency of a keypad used to enter text on a portable computing device can be adjusted based on the distance of a user's hand, such that the user can still view content displayed through the interface. A user can also select elements, such as text fields for text entry, by adjusting a relative position of the user's hand and performing a selection gesture or other such action. Various types of functionality can be activated in response to a selection gesture, such as to display a keypad of an appropriate transparency.

In some implementations, the custom color spectrum may be periodically updated by obtaining additional color value samples of the user's hand and updating the custom color spectrum to include those color value samples.
