  • Patent number: 10955913
    Abstract: A system for adjusting content display orientation on a screen is disclosed. The system may include a processor that may detect both eyes and a body part of a user that is proximal to one or more of the user's eyes. The system may then determine an eye gaze plane based on the positions of the first and second eyes of the user. The eye gaze plane may be determined by identifying a first line of sight extending from the first eye and a second line of sight extending from the second eye. Additionally, the eye gaze plane may bisect a center of the first eye and a center of the second eye of the user. Once the eye gaze plane is determined, the system may adjust the orientation of content displayed on a display device based on the eye gaze plane and on the position of the body part.

  • Patent number: 10447781
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies for point-to-point data synchronization are provided. A personal area network connection between a first user device and a second user device is established. State change information of first data stored on the first user device is received by the second user device, and second data stored on the second device is updated to reflect the state change to synchronize the first data and the second data. Alternatively, a synchronization message including the state change information of first data stored on a first user device is received by the second user device. The state change information is extracted from the synchronization message, and second data stored on a second user device is updated to reflect the state change to synchronize the first data and the second data.

  • Patent number: 9984509
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for virtual historical displays. A server computer or other computing device can execute a virtual display service. The virtual display service can obtain behavioral data associated with a geographic location and an activity associated with a user of a user device. The virtual display service can associate the behavioral data with the user device and the geographic location, and detect subsequent activity associated with the geographic location. The virtual display service can determine that the behavioral data is to be shared with a device associated with the subsequent activity. The virtual display service can provide the behavioral data to the device.
