  • Publication number: 20250071412
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for enhancing media. The method includes: identifying whether a scene of a first preview frame captured by at least one primary camera was captured in low light based on at least one pre-defined parameter of the first preview frame; based on identifying that the first preview frame was captured in low light, triggering at least one secondary camera to capture a second preview frame of the scene, wherein the second preview frame has an exposure time higher than an exposure time of the first preview frame, and wherein the second preview frame includes one of a higher field of view (FOV) and a same FOV as compared to the first preview frame; and generating an output frame based on the first preview frame, the second preview frame, and at least one of the at least one pre-defined parameter.

  • Publication number: 20150088762
    Abstract: A method of implementing a bargaining strategy includes receiving a first plurality of attributes corresponding to team members of a first team, and a second plurality of attributes corresponding to team members of a second team. The two teams participate in a bargaining process and each team bargains pursuant to a majority rule. The method includes determining at least one critical first team member from the first team using the first plurality of attributes, and at least one critical second team member from the second team using the second plurality of attributes. The at least one critical first and second team members are determinative of an agreeable outcome of the bargaining process. The method includes generating suggested bargaining terms likely to result in the agreeable outcome of the bargaining process between the first and second teams according to the at least one critical first and second team members.

  • Publication number: 20130332549
    Abstract: A method is disclosed that enables the selection of a team of people in an organization, such as a business enterprise, to participate in a task that involves communicating with each other, in which the selection of the team seeks to maximize the team cohesiveness. The illustrative embodiment of the present invention incorporates the use of a social network model to describe the communication pattern in the organization. Based on the relationship between the organization's social network structure and the cohesiveness between the people in the organization, the technique of the illustrative embodiment estimates the dyadic cohesiveness of each pair of people, which is defined as the expected value of relationship strength between each evaluated pair of people. One component of the relationship strength is the number of interactions between the two people in the pair. The technique of the illustrative embodiment then uses the cohesiveness estimates to select teams.
