  • Patent number: 9942627
    Abstract: In embodiments, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are described that are associated with a context-based information presentation system (“CIP”). The CIP may be configured to modify presentation of information to a user during performance of a physical activity. The CIP may be configured to receive information describing the physical activity and to identify a context for the physical activity based on the received information. The identification of the context may be performed through application of one or more context rules to the information describing the physical activity received by the CIP. The CIP may be configured to modify presentation of information to the user based on the identified context. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 9912902
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for an automatic event recorder are described herein. An input stream may be written to a memory buffer in an overwrite mode. The input stream may be received from a sensor array of a wearable device. A first portion of the input stream written to the memory buffer may be protected upon obtaining an indication of occurrence of a start event. The memory buffer may be configured to receive a second portion of the input stream in a write mode subsequent to the occurrence of the start event. The memory buffer may be reconfigured to receive a third portion of the input stream in the overwrite mode upon obtaining an indication of the occurrence of the stop event.

  • Publication number: 20170287217
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for providing alerts of preceding traffic are described herein. A system for providing alerts of preceding traffic comprising a processor installed on a trailing vehicle operated by a user, the processor to: receive image data from a camera and identify a preceding vehicle in front of the trailing vehicle; receive data from a distance sensor to detect a change in relative velocity between the preceding vehicle and the trailing vehicle that exceeds a threshold; and cause an augmented reality content to be displayed in a head-mounted display worn by the user, the augmented reality content to alert the user of the change in relative velocity.

  • Patent number: 8533630
    Abstract: A processing system may include an array of input/output (I/O) devices (e.g., an array of microphones, an array of antennas, etc.) A device array control program for the processing system may provide a user interface for controlling the array of I/O devices. The user interface may include an array of objects representing the array of I/O devices, as well as a set of controls near the array of objects. The controls may include a right handle, a left handle, and a gain handle. The left handle and the right handle may be moved by a user to control which I/O devices will be used, and the gain handle may be moved to control gain for at least one of the I/O devices. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
