Patent number: 10971171Abstract: Arrangements involving portable devices (e.g., smartphones and tablet computers) are disclosed. One arrangement enables a content creator to select software with which that creator's content should be rendered—assuring continuity between artistic intention and delivery. Another utilizes a device camera to identify nearby subjects, and take actions based thereon. Others rely on near field chip (RFID) identification of objects, or on identification of audio streams (e.g., music, voice). Some technologies concern improvements to the user interfaces associated with such devices. For example, some arrangements enable discovery of both audio and visual content, without any user requirement to switch modes. Other technologies involve use of these devices in connection with shopping, text entry, and vision-based discovery. Still other improvements are architectural in nature, e.g., relating to evidence-based state machines, and blackboard systems. Yet other technologies concern computational photography.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2016Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Digimarc CorporationInventors: Bruce L. Davis, Edward B. Knudson, Geoffrey B. Rhoads, Tony F. Rodriguez, Colin P. Cornaby, Emma C. Sinclair, Eliot Rogers

Patent number: 9354778Abstract: The present disclosure generally concerns sensor-equipped consumer electronic devices, such as smartphones and tablet computers. One implementation is directed toward a smartphone configured to operate in an image discovery mode. Results from the image discovery mode may be displayed on a smartphones display screen. The smartphone may concurrently operate an audio discovery mode. Results from the audio discovery mode are added to a discovery history, but are not displayed on the smartphone's display screen while operating in the image discovery mode. Of course, many other combinations and implementations are provided as well.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2014Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: Digimarc CorporationInventors: Colin P. Cornaby, Matthew M. Weaver
