  • Patent number: 10212337
    Abstract: Augmented reality can be used to display previously captured images on a viewfinder of a camera as the camera's active position nears a position from which the picture was originally taken. A histogram file may associate the original image with positional information of the camera when the image was captured. When the cameras active position nears those coordinates, a transparent version of the digital image is displayed on the viewfinder of the camera. The positional information may include a spatial location of the camera (e.g., GPS coordinates, etc.) as well as an orientation of the camera (e.g., yaw, pitch, roll, etc.). Augmented reality can be used to guide the user to configure/re-configure the camera in order to correct (or avoid) an image quality issue/defect when re-taking a picture.

  • Patent number: 9332370
    Abstract: Dynamic audio rendering can be achieved by modifying the amplitude, phase, and frequency of audio signal components by varying degrees based on characteristics of the audio signal. A rendered audio signal can be produced by scaling the amplitude of an audio signal component by an amount that is dynamically selected according to the audio signal characteristics. A rendered audio signal can also be produced by adjusting/shifting a phase and/or frequency of an audio signal component by an amount that is dynamically selected according to the audio signal characteristics. The audio signal characteristics may correspond to any metric or quality associated with the audio signal, such as an energy ratio of the audio signal in the time domain, a bit-depth, or sampling rate.

  • Publication number: 20150173616
    Abstract: Various disclosed embodiments include apparatus and systems for providing health monitoring sensor placement. An apparatus includes a sensor device, comprising one or more sensors to respectively collect sensor data, a memory configured to store the sensor data, communication logic configured to provide the sensor data to an external electronic device. The sensor device is configured to be disposed within and removably coupled to a wristband device. When the sensor device is disposed within the wristband device, the sensor device contacts the skin of a user when the wristband device is worn by the user.

  • Publication number: 20150098000
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided for dynamic image composition guidance in digital cameras. The dynamic image composition guidance allows users, for example, amateurs or less experienced photographers, to effectively and properly use photographic composition techniques for improving the quality of digitally captured images. A guidance method on a camera device determines a geometric strength point according to an image composition rule for a scene captured on the camera device. A user of the camera device is then guided in real-time while moving the camera device to align an object of the scene with the geometric strength point before recapturing the scene on the camera device. The method includes displaying, with the geometric strength point, changes to the scene including a moving point associated with a focused object on the first image according to movements of the camera device in real-time.
