  • Publication number: 20180121729
    Abstract: Segmentation-based techniques to display video content highlighting a subject of interest are disclosed. In various embodiments, visual content data comprising a frame of video content or a single image data is received. For each of at least a subsets of pixels comprising the visual content data a probability that the pixel is associated with an object of interest is determined. A likelihood map that identifies portions of the visual content data determined to be associated with the object of interest is determined for the visual content data based at least in part on said pixel-level probabilities. A mask layer configured to be combined with the visual content data to provide a modified visual content data in which the object of interest is highlighted is generated based at least in part on the likelihood map.

  • Patent number: 9710125
    Abstract: A method for generating multiple windows frames, an electronic device thereof, and a computer program product using the method are provided. In the present method, first, a touch trajectory generated by continuously touching a touch panel of the electronic device is detected, wherein the center of the touch panel is a display area, and a non-display area surrounds the display area. Then, whether the touch trajectory is started from one side of the non-display area and passed through the display area to be extended to another side of the non-display area is determined. If so, the display area is split according to the touch trajectory to display at least two windows frames. As a result, an intuitional and convenient method for generating multiple windows frames in the display area is provided, and the operation of the electronic device is made very convenient.

  • Patent number: 9361837
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for dynamically adjusting a viewing angle of a screen are provided. The method is suitable for dynamically adjusting a viewing range of a screen of a handheld electronic device, wherein the viewing angle of the screen is adjustable. The method is as follows. First, a shifting value of a target deviating from the viewing range of the screen is detected by a sensor. Next, the viewing range of the screen is dynamically adjusted according to the shifting value, so as to cover the target within the viewing range of the screen. Accordingly, the snooping for the content of a frame displayed on the screen by others can be prevented and a user can view the frame displayed on the screen more conveniently.
