  • Patent number: 11711689
    Abstract: A connectionless system for handing off data, content or information includes a proximity detection component that allows devices to detect other local devices within range. Devices within range may use advertisement and scanning to exchange communications so that one device can handoff data, content, or information to another device without having to connect, e.g., pair, with the other device(s).

  • Publication number: 20220384034
    Abstract: A local and private model can be used to analyze textual, visual, and auditory content on a user's local device to provide notifications about events which are stressful beyond a predetermined threshold. The model can be trained by a combination of health sensor data and an analysis of the content. Multiple models or techniques can be used to analyze the content and vectorize the content. A vector based approach can be used to classify future content as stressful when meeting the predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 11436808
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for selecting augmenting reality (AR) objects based on contextual cues associated with an image captured by a camera associated with electronic device. Contextual cues are obtained at an electronic device and AR objects are identified from a memory associated with the electronic device. The electronic device implements a processor employing image segmentation techniques to combine the identified AR objects with the captured image and render the combined image for display at a display associated with the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20220057922
    Abstract: Systems and methods for location-based device control are provided. Example systems and methods include determining a location estimate for a computing device and identifying a controllable device based on the location estimate. Some examples also include determining a relative location of the controllable device with respect to the computing device and triggering display, on the computing device, of a user interface for interacting with the controllable device based on the relative location. Another example system and method includes identifying a controllable device within a physical space based on an aiming direction in which a computing device is aimed, determining an angular offset of the controllable device with respect to the aiming direction of the computing device, and triggering display, on the computing device, of a user interface that indicates the determined angular offset.

  • Publication number: 20210345016
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described that utilize one or more processors to obtain a plurality of segments of a first media content item, extract, from a first segment in the plurality of segments, a plurality of image frames associated with a plurality of tracked movements of at least one object represented in the extracted image frames, compare, objects represented in the image frames extracted from the first segment to tracked objects in a second media content item. In response to detecting that at least one of the tracked objects is similar to at least one object in the plurality of extracted image frames, generating virtual content depicting the plurality of tracked movements from the first segment being performed on the at least one tracked object in the second media content item and triggering rendering of the virtual content as an overlay on the at least one tracked object.
