Abstract: Smart battery charging solutions are disclosed. The smart charging solutions of the disclosure enable a user to configure a mobile device with individualized battery charging settings. The user specific settings may be combined with system settings to generate rules on battery charging. Context awareness is achieved through various sensors and through information sharing within and among the systems of the mobile device. The battery charging rules and the context awareness information are used together in controlling the charging of a battery.

Abstract: A unique code per pairing of each remote control to each controlled device (such as a TV or other media device) is used in infrared (IR) commands sent by the remote control for the device to detect if the remote control has been moved to a different room. The remote control supports both IR and short range wireless radio (e.g., Bluetooth®) commands. Both IR and Bluetooth® commands are sent on every key press of the remote control unit. When the IR command is received by the device, the device will check if the unique code is from a remote control unit currently paired to the device. If the unique code is not from a remote control unit currently paired to the device, the device will initiate pairing with the remote control unit and execute the command.

Abstract: An automated process for multi-feed video systems comprises receiving a plurality of video feeds from a plurality of video-capture devices. The video feeds each have a quality parameter set to an initial value. A priority feed is selected from the video feeds. A quality parameter of the priority feed is set to a priority value in response to selecting the priority feed. The video-capture devices are instructed to format the video feeds based on the quality parameter of each video feed. The quality parameter for each video feed comprises a bitrate or a resolution for the video feed. The priority feed is streamed as a video output. The video feeds are displayed for selection in an interface, and the interface comprises a map including a location of the video-capture devices.

Abstract: An method of operating a video production device receives a plurality of video input streams from a plurality of different video capture devices, and selects one of the video input streams as a current video output stream. In response to the selection, the method determines a prioritization scheme for the plurality of video input streams, generates video format instructions for each of the plurality of different video capture devices, in accordance with the determined prioritization scheme; and sends the video format instructions from the video production device to the plurality of different video capture devices. The video format instructions are configurable to be executed by the video capture devices to confirm or adjust at least one video quality setting of the video input streams, such that the current video output stream is of higher quality relative to unselected video input streams of the plurality of video input streams.

Abstract: A system, tracking an object within an environ, includes a hub with a processor instantiating a vision recognizer, a data store storing location data including a first location model, and a first camera which captures and provides, within a first field of view (FOV), a first image to the hub. The first image includes a first depiction of a first captured location, and the vision recognizer determines an object is present at the first location when the first depiction of the first captured location corresponds to the first location model. The first image depicts an element present within the first FOV, the data store further stores an image library record including a first object model, and the vision recognizer determines whether the object is present at the first location when the element depicted in the first image corresponds to the object as modeled by the first object model.

Abstract: A system for magnifying the appearance of an image on a mobile device screen includes an eyewear frame adapted to be mounted on a user in the user's field of vision, an image capturing device connected to the eyewear frame and oriented to capture an image in the user's field of vision, and an image display device connected to the eyewear frame and oriented to display the captured image to the user. The system further includes a processor in electronic connection with the image capturing device and the image display device. The processor is configured to analyze the captured image for the presence of the mobile device screen, and, if the mobile device screen is present, magnify the image to include a magnified mobile device screen image in the magnified captured image and send the magnified captured image to the image display device for display to the user.
