Abstract: Varying embodiments of intelligent systems are disclosed that respond to user intent and desires based upon activity that may or may not be expressly directed at the intelligent system. In some embodiments, the intelligent system acquires a depth image of a scene surrounding the system. A scene geometry may be extracted from the depth image and elements of the scene, such as walls, furniture, and humans may be evaluated and monitored. In certain embodiments, user activity in the scene is monitored and analyzed to infer user desires or intent with respect to the system. The interpretation of the user's intent or desire as well as the system's response may be affected by the scene geometry surrounding the user and/or the system. In some embodiments, techniques and systems are disclosed for interpreting express user communication, for example, expressed through fine hand gesture movements.

Abstract: A method and system for adaptively mixing video components with graphics/UI components, where the video components and graphics/UI components may be of different types, e.g., different dynamic ranges (such as HDR, SDR) and/or color gamut (such as WCG). The mixing may result in a frame optimized for a display device's color space, ambient conditions, viewing distance and angle, etc., while accounting for characteristics of the received data. The methods include receiving video and graphics/UI elements, converting the video to HDR and/or WCG, performing statistical analysis of received data and any additional applicable rendering information, and assembling a video frame with the received components based on the statistical analysis. The assembled video frame may be matched to a color space and displayed. The video data and graphics/UI data may have or be adjusted to have the same white point and/or primaries.

Abstract: In an embodiment a method of online video communication is disclosed. An online video communication is established between a source device and a receiving device. The source device captures a live video recording of a sending user. The captured recording is analyzed to identify one or more characteristics of the sending user. The source device then generates avatar data corresponding to the identified characteristics. The avatar data is categorized into a plurality of groups, wherein a first group of the at least two groups comprises avatar data that is more unique to the sending user. Finally, at least the first group of the plurality of groups is transmitted to the receiving device. The transmitted first group of avatar data defines, at least in part, how to animate an avatar that mimics the sending user's one or more physical characteristics.

Abstract: A method for implementing NVMe over fabrics includes generating, by a terminal, a NVMe instruction, where the NVMe instruction indicates a data read operation or a data write operation. The method further includes sending, by the terminal by using remote direct memory access (RDMA), the NVMe instruction to a submission queue (SQ) that is stored in a server. When the NVMe instruction indicates the data read operation, the method includes receiving, by the terminal by using the RDMA, to-be-read data sent by the server. Alternatively, when the NVMe instruction indicates the data write operation, the method includes sending, by the terminal, to-be-written data to the server by using the RDMA. The method further includes receiving, by the terminal, an NVMe completion instruction sent by using the RDMA by the server; and writing, by the terminal, the NVMe completion instruction into a completion queue (CQ) that is set in the terminal.

Abstract: A direct memory access (DMA) transmission control method and apparatus, where the method includes selecting a target channel for the target DMA task according to a priority corresponding to the target DMA task when a DMA transmission request for transmitting data of a target DMA task is received, querying a task type and a priority of another DMA task that has occupied a channel and a task type of the target DMA task when the other DMA task exists on the DMA channel, comparing the task type and the priority of the other DMA task that has occupied the channel with the task type and the priority of the target DMA task, and controlling data transmission on the DMA channel according to a comparison result. Hence, the urgent DMA task can be preferentially processed.

Abstract: A method for automatic image capture control and digital imaging is described. An image buffer is initialized to store a digital image produced by an image sensor, through allocation of a region in memory for the buffer that is large enough to store a full resolution frame from the image sensor. While non-binning streaming frames, from the sensor and in the buffer, are being displayed in preview, the sensor is reconfigured into binning mode, and then binned streaming frames are processed in the buffer, but without allocating a smaller region in memory for the buffer. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
