  • Publication number: 20250014211
    Abstract: An electronic device comprising a plurality of sensors and a plurality of video capturing sensors and a processor for determining if an object within the field of view (FOV) of the electronic device is an organic being or a two-dimensional (2D), or three-dimensional (3D) representation of an organic being and if the representation of the being is displayed on a digital screen. The processor is configured to remove the representation of an organic being within the FOV of the electronic device by way of determining the liveness, 2D/3D, and position of an object from the plurality of sensors that may be placed within the electronic device. The determination of removing a representation of an organic being can be determined by an onboard processor or by a cloud-based processor and the determination not to remove the detected organic being is represented by video conference framing of that organic being.

  • Patent number: 11995295
    Abstract: In one example, a notification may be generated to prompt a user to clean a personal computing device. The notification may be based upon usage data of the personal computing device. Multiple types of usage data may be determined and combined to create a composite usage value. The composite usage value may be compared to a threshold usage value. A notification may be generated if the composite usage value exceeds the threshold usage value.

  • Publication number: 20050114221
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an interface for a return system that allows one or more merchants to funnel their returns processing to a central returns processing system. A merchant may apply its own, possibly unique set of business rules to a customer return request before linking to the interface or, alternatively, the interface may be programmed to apply the respective business rules of the various merchants. In a preferred embodiment, the returns interface maintains the look and feel for each of the various merchant so that the integration between the merchant system and central returns system is transparent to customers.
