  • Publication number: 20170344771
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, a mobile device continuously and/or automatically scans a user environment for tags containing non-human-readable data. The mobile device may continuously and/or automatically scan the environment for tags without being specifically directed at a particular tag. The mobile device may be adapted to scan for audio tags, radio frequency tags, and/or image tags. The mobile device may be configured to scan for and identify tags within the user environment that satisfy a user preference. The mobile device may perform an action in response to identifying a tag that satisfies a user preference. The mobile device may be configured to scan for a wide variety of tags, including tags in the form of quick response codes, steganographic content, audio watermarks, audio outside of a human audible range, radio frequency identification tags, long wavelength identification tags, near field communication tags, and/or a Memory Spot device.

    Abstract: Embodiments provide an apparatus, a system, and a method. A method individualizing a presentation of content includes receiving data indicative of a physical orientation of a person relative to a display operable to present the content. The method also includes selecting a display parameter of the presented content in response to the received data indicative of a physical orientation of a person. The method further includes employing the selected display parameter in presenting the content. The method may include generating the data indicative of a physical orientation of a person relative to a display operable to present the content. The method may include receiving information indicative of a change in the physical orientation of the person proximate to the display; and changing the display parameter of the presented content in response to the received information indicative of a change in the physical orientation of the person proximate to the display.
