Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product enable a space saving rollable display device to extend automatically in a power efficient manner. While a blade assembly is in a retracted position, a controller of the electronic device determines whether a user notification opportunity exists based on a transition between contextual states of one of stationary and changing from unattended to attended by the user; and stowed on-body of the user changing to held by the user. In response, the controller actuates a translation mechanism to slide a blade assembly, which includes a blade and flexible display, relative to a device housing of an electronic device from a retracted position to at least a partially extended position. The actuation prepares the flexible display to present user notification(s) and generates a physical indication to a user that the user notification(s) is available to be presented when the flexible display is active.

For instance, media content is generated that includes at least one high priority region and at least one low priority region. Further, a user image is captured to be inserted into the media content. Accordingly, the user image is inserted into the at least one low priority region to avoid obstructing high priority visuals displayed within the at least one high priority region.

Abstract: This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for secured access management of shared storage resources. A first user issues a command to create a shared storage resource that is capable of saving an indication of products available for acquisition on a platform for later acquisition using a billing account with which the first user is authorized to acquire products. The first user issues a command to provide a second user a set of permissions that enables the second user to issue commands to add an indication of one or more products to the storage resource. Using the permission, the second user issues commands to add the indication of the one or more products to the storage resource. The one or more products can be acquired using the billing account based on the indication of the one or more products in the storage resource.

Abstract: Described are systems and method directed to generation of a dimensionally accurate three-dimensional (“3D”) model of a body, such as a human body, based on two-dimensional (“2D”) images of that body. A user may use a 2D camera, such as a digital camera typically included in many of today's portable devices (e.g., cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) and obtain a series of 2D body images of their body from different views with respect to the camera. The 2D body images may then be used to generate a plurality of predicted body parameters corresponding to the body represented in the 2D body images. Those predicted body parameters may then be further processed to generate a dimensionally accurate 3D model or avatar of the body of the user.

Abstract: Generally, a computing device displays, on a display device of the computing device, a barcode to be read by a scanning device. When a barcode is displayed on the display device a determination is made as to whether the barcode is not fully displayed on the display device due to hardware of the computing device such as a punch hole in the display device for a camera, speaker, or microphone. If the barcode is not fully displayed due to the hardware of the computing device, the display of the barcode is modified so that the barcode is fully displayed on the display device despite the hardware of the computing device. Additionally or alternatively, if the scanning device has not completed the scan within a threshold amount of time, the display of the barcode on the display device is modified, such as by increasing or decreasing the resolution of the barcode.
