Abstract: An apparatus and method for a wall clock AI voice assistant, such as a computing device, is provided herein. The wall-mountable electronic clock includes an optical sensor, a microphone, a digital display and a speaker. The optical sensor captures image data representing at least a portion of a user. The microphone receives an audio input from the user when certain criteria is met, such as when the image data representing at least a portion of the user is captured. The digital display provides visual information to the user provided in response to the captured image data or the audio input. The speaker provides audio information provides from a digital voice assistant in response to the captured image data or the audio input.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, by an electronic device, receiving a digital input indicating a type of movement. Streaming sensor data corresponding to movements of a first user can be accessed from one or more sensors of one or more wearable devices on the first user. Displacement data corresponding to the movements of the first user can be generated based on the streaming sensor data and the indicated type of movement. One or more repetitions represented in one or more corresponding segments of the displacement data can be identified based on the displacement data. The displacement data corresponding to each identified repetition may substantially match a predetermined movement signature associated with the type of movement. One or more performance metrics can be calculated for one or more of the identified repetitions. Instructions can be provided for presenting a user interface including information referencing the performance metrics.

Abstract: A method by an electromagnetic device includes determining a pattern of electromagnetic energy absorbed by a load disposed inside a cavity into which electromagnetic radiation is directed and generating one or more maps of the pattern of electromagnetic energy absorbed by the load. The one or more maps comprises an indication of a distribution of heating within the load. The method further includes determining, based on the one or more maps, a plurality of sequences of operating parameter combinations configured so as to heat the load via absorption of the electromagnetic radiation in accordance with a target temperature profile with respect to the load. The method thus includes emitting electromagnetic radiation into the cavity based on the plurality of sequences of operating parameter combinations to achieve the target temperature profile with respect to the load.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a wearable device includes a device body including a touch-sensitive display and a circular mechanical ring rotatable around the touch-sensitive display, a band coupled to the device body, processors, and a memory coupled to the processors including instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to present on the touch-sensitive display a first screen corresponding to a device currently paired with the wearable device, the first screen including an indication of an operational status of the currently paired device and, based on determining a type of the operational status and in response to a first transition event at the first screen, present a second screen with its content being determined based on the type of the operational status and whether an input associated with the first transition event is on the circular mechanical ring or at the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes one or more processors and a memory coupled to the processors include instructions executable by the processors. When executing the instructions, the processors present on a display of the apparatus a first screen that corresponds to a first mode of the apparatus. The first screen is in a first level of a graphical user interface (GUI) hierarchy and occupies a substantial portion of the display when presented. In response to a transition event at the first screen, the processors present a second screen that corresponds to a second mode of the apparatus. The second screen is in the first level of the GUI hierarchy and occupies the substantial portion of the display when presented. In response to a selection event at the first screen, the processors present a third screen that corresponds to a first function of the first mode of the apparatus.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes presenting to a user, on a display of a head-worn client computing device, a three-dimensional video including images of a real-life scene that is remote from the user's physical environment. The method also includes presenting to the user, on the display of the head-worn client computing device, a graphical object including an image of the user's physical environment or a virtual graphical object.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may access one or more frames of media content with each frame corresponding to at least part of an image. The computing system may automatically detect at least one object in at least one of the one or more frames. The computing system may automatically identify the at least one object. For each of the identified objects, the computing system may automatically determine an annotation corresponding to that object and each annotation may include one or more graphical elements. For each annotation, the computing system may automatically associate that annotation for display with its corresponding object.
