  • Publication number: 20230315378
    Abstract: A computing system can implement a computer-implemented method for providing selective control of an acoustic environment of a user. The computer-implemented method can include determining a selected audio source of a plurality of audio sources in an environment of a user based at least in part on a selection user input at a peripheral device, where the peripheral device is in communication with the computing system. The computer-implemented method can include receiving a configuration user input at the peripheral device, where the configuration user input is indicative of an intent to configure an audio characteristic associated with the selected audio source. The computer-implemented method can include, in response to receiving the configuration user input, configuring the audio characteristic associated with the selected audio source based at least in part on the configuration user input.

  • Publication number: 20230156401
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating audio presentations are provided. A method can include obtaining data indicative of an acoustic environment for a user; obtaining data indicative of one or more events; generating, by an artificial intelligence system, an audio presentation for the user based at least in part on the data indicative of the one or more events and the data indicative of the acoustic environment for the user; and presenting the audio presentation to the user. The acoustic environment can include at least one of a first audio signal playing on the computing system or a second audio signal associated with a surrounding environment of the user. The one or more events can include at least one of information to be conveyed by the computing system to the user or at least a portion of the second audio signal associated with the surrounding environment of the user.

  • Patent number: 11500477
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods that include or otherwise leverage an artificial intelligence system and/or provide user interface mechanisms particularly suited for interacting and/or interfacing with an artificial intelligence system. A computing system can include a camera, a light-emitting device, and an artificial intelligence system that comprises one or more machine-learned models. The computing system can include a processor and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that stores instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to obtain an image of a scene captured by the camera; generate an attention output that describes at least one region of the scene that includes a subject of a processing operation performed by the artificial intelligence system; and control the light-emitting device to emit light onto or adjacent a region of the scene that includes the subject of the processing operation performed by the artificial intelligence system.

  • Patent number: 10038844
    Abstract: The disclosed technology includes switching between a normal or standard-lens UI and a panoramic or wide-angle photography UI responsive to a zoom gesture. In one implementation, a user gesture corresponding to a “zoom-out” command, when received at a mobile computing device associated with a minimum zoom state, may trigger a switch from a standard lens photo capture UI to a wide-angle photography UI. In another implementation, a user gesture corresponding to a “zoom-in” command, when received at a mobile computing device associated with a nominal wide-angle state, may trigger a switch from a wide-angle photography UI to a standard lens photo capture UI.

  • Publication number: 20130047124
    Abstract: A method including enabling user selection of an image for display as a root screen of a menu system; enabling user definition of a first area in the image that becomes a first actuation-sensitive area of the root screen of the menu system when the image is displayed as the root screen of the menu system; enabling user definition of an association between the first area in the image and a user selected first asset, wherein the association provides for the automatic use of the associated first asset when the first actuation-sensitive area of the root screen of the menu system is actuated while the image is displayed as the root screen of the menu system.
