Abstract: Techniques for gaze-based video conference prompts are described that leverage eye-tracking algorithms within a video conference setting to perform a variety of functionality. For instance, a computing device displays a user interface of a video conference session that includes representations of video conference attendees. The computing device receives video content that depicts a user of the computing device and uses eye tracking techniques to determine a gaze location of the user based on the video content. The gaze location corresponds to one of the representations of an attendee. The computing device then communicates a prompt to one or more of the attendees that indicates the gaze location. In another example, the computing device detects a behavior of the user, e.g., a scanning behavior. Responsive to detection of the behavior, the computing device performs an action within the user interface, such as to display a roster view of the attendees.

The method includes receiving, with a user interface operable with the one or more processors, user input initiating a communication operation at the conferencing system terminal device. In response to the user input, one or more processors of the conferencing system terminal device present a prompt allowing a selection of a subset of the plurality of remote electronic devices for a side call during the videoconference.

Abstract: In aspects of interactive telephone system navigation, a media device maintains a record of menu inputs to navigate an interactive telephone menu based on a first call and associates a telephone number of the first call with the record. The media device detects the telephone number initiated for a second call and provides an automated navigation of the interactive telephone menu during the second call.

Abstract: Generally, an artificial intelligence model is trained based on input from a user to identify preferences of the user for media content, such as images. Camera settings are automatically applied to media content based on the identified preferences of the user so that the user is automatically presented with media content displayed in accordance with his or her preferences.

Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product automatically support fingerprint authentication using a fingerprint scanner on an opposite side even when the electronic device is detected as being grasped upside down. The electronic device includes front and back fingerprint scanners respectively exposed on front and back sides of a device housing. In response to determining that a requirement exists for scanning a fingerprint of a user while the electronic device is upside down, a controller of the electronic device triggers at least one of the front and the back fingerprint scanners to initiate scanning. The controller receives a fingerprint image from a corresponding one of the front and back fingerprint scanner. The controller authenticates the user in response to identifying that an upside-down version of the received fingerprint image corresponds to a fingerprint of an authorized user, based on authentication data stored in memory of the electronic device.

The method includes, in response to activation, via a processor, of a first camera of the electronic device to a first image capturing mode, presenting on a display, a first graphical user interface comprising at least one user-selectable option corresponding to at least one preferred camera setting for the secondary user to select to apply while capturing images using the first camera. In response to the secondary user selecting the user-selectable option to use the at least one preferred camera setting, the processor triggers the first camera to apply the preferred camera settings and to capture an image using the preferred camera settings.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to solutions to maximize the recovery of ethylene, propylene and aromatics rich naphtha from crude oil processing. The schemes involve treating the effluent from Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) to remove metals like AsH3, PH3, Hg, as well as impurities such as NOx and oxygen, before mixing it with the steam cracker effluent. The combined effluent is then cooled in a cold box and sent to various fractionators for separating the ethylene, propylene, and aromatics rich naphtha.

Abstract: An electronic device (e.g., a smartphone or tablet) can be connected to another electronic device that is typically a computing device (e.g., a mobile device such as a laptop or a non-mobile device such as a desktop computer or workstation), allowing the electronic devices to be used together. This connection can be a wired connection or a wireless connection. When the electronic device and the computing device are connected, and optionally also when a universal control mode is activated, the electronic device automatically operates in a non-gesture-based input style, allowing a single input control device (e.g., a trackpad on a laptop) to control user input for both devices.

Abstract: One or more guest electronic devices establish electronic communication with a host electronic device. The guest electronic devices transmit requests requesting presentation of media content from an application operating locally on each guest electronic device. The host electronic device arranges the requests in a queue. One or more processors of the host electronic device select a principal request from the queue and initiate the application operating locally on a guest electronic device identified by the principal request, thereby causing delivery of the media content from the guest electronic device identified by the principal request to the host electronic device.

Abstract: Techniques for fingerprint encoded gesture initiation of device actions are described and are implementable to perform a variety of functionality based on touch-based gestures that are fingerprint encoded. For instance, a mobile device receives an input including a touch-based gesture. The mobile device generates fingerprint identity information based on the touch-based gesture, such as by a fingerprint sensor area that is operable to detect a pattern of a fingerprint in contact with the fingerprint sensor area. Based on the fingerprint identity information, the mobile device determines that the fingerprint identity information is associated with a user of the mobile device. The mobile device then performs an action that corresponds to the touch-based gesture, e.g., based on a shape of the gesture. In one example, the action includes display of a customized user interface associated with a user profile that corresponds to the touch-based gesture.

Abstract: An electronic device (e.g., a smartphone or tablet) can be connected to another electronic device that is typically a computing device (e.g., a mobile device such as a laptop or a non-mobile device such as a desktop computer or workstation), allowing the electronic devices to be used together.

Abstract: Techniques for personalized digital content generation are described and are implementable to generate digital content based on content that depicts a scene from one or more locations and content that depicts one or more individuals. The described implementations, for instance, enable generation of a personalized photo album for a user depicting the user at the one or more locations. The described implementations further enable generation of an itinerary including personalized digital content. In an example, an input including a location is received. Environment content is generated that depicts a scene of the location. User content is generated that includes a representation of one or more individuals. Personalized content is then generated by incorporating the representation of the one or more individuals into the scene, and the personalized content is output for display. The personalized content is further usable to generate a personalized itinerary for a user.

Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product imitate a typewriter. A top horizontal row of a virtual typing sheet is presented on an upper portion of an extendable display. Keystrokes received by a text input device are monitored and corresponding characters are presented across the top horizontal row of virtual typing sheet. In response to a next line transitioning condition (e.g., reaching an end of a current row or detection of a return keystroke received via the text input device), the extendable display is triggered to upwardly extend by an increment corresponding to vertical dimensions of a line spacing and font size of the characters associated with the top horizontal row. Presentation of the virtual typing sheet and the top horizontal row at the corresponding line spacing are upwardly adjusted to insert a new lateral row for presenting keystrokes.
