  • Patent number: 10928782
    Abstract: System and techniques for a virtual detent bezel device are described herein, a configuration that specifies a detent pattern and an output pattern corresponding to the detent pattern may be received receiving by the virtual detent bezel device. A physical portion of the virtual detent bezel device may sense a rotational action of a user interacting with a physical portion of the virtual detent bezel device. The rotational action may be compared to a present rotational position to determine a rotational change. The rotational change may be thresholded against the detent pattern to determine that a detent is crossed. A haptic feedback device may be activated in response to determining that the detent is crossed. A portion of the output pattern that corresponds to the detent that is crossed may be output by the virtual detent bezel device.

  • Patent number: 9485207
    Abstract: Embodiments related to a message processing system are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a computing system may include receiver logic to receive a message addressed to a user; analysis logic to determine whether a message collection, including the received message, has a common theme (e.g., a common sender or common content); modality logic to identify a messaging modality associated with each of the messages in the message collection; criteria logic to determine whether the message collection satisfies modality criteria (e.g., the messages represent at least two different messaging modalities); and notification logic to provide a notification of the message collection in response to determining that the message collection has a common theme and satisfies the modality criteria. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

  • Patent number: 9100544
    Abstract: Embodiments of methods, systems, and storage medium associated with establishing a persistent connection between local and remote interaction devices are disclosed herein. In one instance, the method may include operating the local interaction device in a first power state when a motion of a local user within an area proximate to the local device is not detected, and operating the local interaction device in a second power state when a motion of the local user within the area is detected. The method may further include providing a selected view of a plurality of views of the local area responsive to a gaze direction of the remote user, and providing audio communication from the local interaction device to the remote interaction device with a spatial characteristic that approximates co-location of the local and remote users. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
