Abstract: A method for removing a blinked eye artifact from an image captured by a digital imaging device includes storing multiple images of a subject captured during a burst shot mode of a digital imaging device. The method also includes identifying a presence of a blinked eye artifact on a selected image of the subject upon a receipt of the selected image. The method further includes modifying the blinked eye artifact on the selected image with an open eye image from the multiple images of the subject captured during the burst shot mode.

Abstract: Methods and systems of earpiece based binaural sound capturing and playback are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for recording and playback of a binaural sound includes receiving a record command for a binaural sound, and recording electrical data which correspond to the binaural sound captured through an associated binaural sound capturing system. Further, the associated binaural sound capturing system includes two earpieces for a right ear and a left ear for a user. Each of the two earpieces includes a housing and a speaker embedded in the housing facing an inner ear of the user. In addition, the each of the two ear pieces also includes a microphone embedded in the housing at an ear canal of the user for converting the binaural sound received by the ear canal to the electrical data. Furthermore, the method includes playing back the electrical data in response to a playback command.

Abstract: An audience and speaker interactive communications system is described. In one embodiment, it includes a server coupled to a loudspeaker, which server includes an application module for receiving and decoding speech samples and transmitting the speech samples to a loudspeaker over an unlicensed wireless communication frequency spectrum. The system also includes a mobile communications device with a connectivity application for gaining access to the server over an unlicensed wireless communication frequency spectrum as well as a client application module for encoding and transmitting speech samples to the server.
