  • Publication number: 20220398822
    Abstract: The present application is at least directed to a system including a processor and non-transitory memory including computer-executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, perform receiving, via a user operating the system, a selection of a mode for recognizing objects. The processor is also configured to execute the instructions of causing a camera operably coupled to the system to operate in the selected mode for recognizing objects. The processor is further configured to execute the instructions of receiving, via the user operating the system, an image of a selected object. The processor is even further configured to execute the instructions of evaluating, via a trained machine learning model, one or more attributes of the selected object. The processor is yet further configured to execute the instructions of generating an image description based on at least a subset of the evaluated one or more attributes.

  • Patent number: 8618405
    Abstract: The free-space gesture MIDI controller technique described herein marries the technologies embodied in a free-space gesture controller with MIDI controller technology, allowing a user to control an infinite variety of electronic musical instruments through body gesture and pose. One embodiment of the free-space gesture MIDI controller technique described herein uses a human body gesture recognition capability of a free-space gesture control system and translates human gestures into musical actions. Rather than directly connecting a specific musical instrument to the free-space gesture controller, the technique generalizes its capability and instead outputs standard MIDI signals, thereby allowing the free-space gesture control system to control any MIDI-capable instrument.

  • Patent number: 7337402
    Abstract: The Universal Plug and Play architecture contemplates devices and control points that can automatically integrate themselves into a network and provide functionality to a user. Extensions are provided that allow an information presentation appliance to identify categories of information the user wishes that appliance to display. The appliance, acting as a device, can advertise functionality that only allows for the display of information that matches the categories selected by the user. Alternatively, the appliance can act as a control point and request information from information storage devices that matches the categories selected by the user. Using either alternative, the user is allowed to tune, at the appliance, the information that the appliance presents.
