  • Patent number: 10353570
    Abstract: In some examples, an electronic device may present a user interface that is configured to be controlled using a thumb of a single hand that is holding the device. For instance, the interface may present a plurality of selectable items, each of which may correspond to a respective one of a plurality of touch input areas on the display. In some cases, the touch input areas are within reach of the thumb, while the selectable items may be displayed on an area of the display that is not within reach of the thumb. The thumb may be pressed against the display surface with a force greater than a force threshold to select one of the selectable items. Thus, the thumb may be used to interact with the interface while remaining in contact with the display surface, enabling the user to maintain a grip on the device.

  • Patent number: 10290283
    Abstract: A content item to be displayed via a display of an electronic device may be associated with a first set of grey values or a set of color values. The electronic device may generate, maintain, or at least have access to one or more mappings that map the set of color values and/or the first set of grey values to a second set of grey values. Based on the one or more mappings, the electronic device may convert a color value of the set of color values or a first grey value of the first set of grey values to a second grey value of the second set of grey values. The content item may then be displayed utilizing the second grey value.

  • Patent number: 10187936
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods adjusting lighting system brightness in a non-linear manner. The brightness control may be based on a non-linear function that increases brightness in smaller increments at lower brightness levels than at higher brightness levels. In another embodiment, the lighting system brightness may be ramped down over a period of time to account when the user device is exposed to low light conditions. The ramp down may be based, at least in part, on changes in visual acuity in low light conditions over time.

  • Patent number: 10140952
    Abstract: Illumination of content by a display is controlled so as to control light intensity within a spectral range over time between an initial magnitude and a terminal magnitude while content is being presented. Usage data indicative of user interaction with the presented content or previously presented content can be used to generate or modify a pattern profile. The pattern profile is used to modulate illumination intensity of light emitters of the media device to modulate intensity of spectral content of emitted light at one or more ranges of wavelengths. Various operating modes respectively directed to decreasing or increasing intensity over time within certain portions of the visible spectrum can be used during the presentation of written, video or other content.

  • Patent number: 10140957
    Abstract: A computing device may output content including text content, audio content, and video content according to one or more content output features. The content output features may include font features and page layout features for text content, volume and playback rate for audio content, and playback rate for video content. In some cases, a consumption rate of content by the individual may be determined to identify values of content output features that may increase consumption of content by the individual. The settings for the content output features may be modified to correspond with the values that provide increased consumption of content.
