Patent number: 10922536Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating age classification of humans using image depth and human pose according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes facilitating, by one or more cameras of a computing device, capturing of a video stream of a scene having persons, and computing overall-depth torso lengths of the persons based on depth torso lengths of the persons. The method may further include comparing the overall-depth torso lengths with a predetermined threshold value representing a separation age between adults and children, and classifying a first set of the persons as adults if a first set of the overall-depth torso lengths associated with the first set of persons is greater than the threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2020Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Srenivas Varadarajan, Nikita Tiwari, Parual Datta, Andradige Pubudu Madhawa Silva, Omesh Tickoo, Erin Carroll

Patent number: 9104231Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for implementing a mood-actuated device. In various embodiments, mood information corresponding to a current mood of a user is received. An emotional state of the user is determined based on the mood information, and a mood-actuated device is controlled to react based on the emotional state of the user. In some embodiments, the mood-actuated device includes a flexible material that is configured to react by changing to a shape based on the emotional state of the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2012Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Asta J. Roseway, Felecia A. Davis, Erin A. Carroll, Mary Czerwinski, Diana L. Maclean
