Abstract: Electronic reading devices provide readers with text on a display, and enhancements to their functionality and efficiency are discussed herein. Text is provided to the reader in an enhanced contrast mode that highlights the active word and line of the text as well as words of interest in the text so as to improve the functionality of the electronic reading device itself as a provider of textual content.

Abstract: A system to identify and leverage geographically proximate client devices to reduce network traffic associated with facilitating digital collaboration sessions in a real-world environment. Embodiments enable a user to initiate a digital collaboration session and to limit participation in the digital collaboration session to client devices that are physically located within a geofence (e.g., a virtual geographic boundary). Other client devices that are located within the geofence are identified and enabled to join the digital collaboration session. participants may each use their own client device to contribute to the digital collaboration session. Participants can save individual segments of the digital collaboration session by indicating an interest immediately after the segments occur. Client devices then upload data for the segment for enhancement.

Abstract: Described herein is a system for recommending music using a music taste profile. The music taste profile includes information about musical taste of a particular user that can be used to provide music recommendation(s) targeted to that particular user. The system includes a recommendation component that makes a music recommendation(s) based on the music taste profile. The recommendation component can utilize an algorithm to make the music recommendation. With consent of the user, a music taste profile modification component can modify the music taste profile based on an inference from information regarding a music-related interest of the user received from a source (e.g., information obtained about a web browsing search history of the user, signal(s) provided by a digital assistant regarding information requested by the user and/or from a home automation device).
