  • Publication number: 20190095670
    Abstract: This application is directed to dynamic control for data capture. A device may comprise a capture logic module to receive at least one of biometric data from a biometric sensing module, context data from a context sensing module or content data from a content sensing module. The capture logic module may determine if a capture scenario exists based on at least one of the biometric data and context data. The determination may be weighted based on an operational mode. If a capture scenario is determined to exist, the capture logic module may then determine whether to capture data based on at least the content data. Captured data may be stored in a capture database in the device (e.g., along with enhanced metadata based on at least one of the biometric data, the context data or the content data). The device may also comprise a feedback database including feedback data.

  • Patent number: 10192313
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are described including receiving a source image having a foreground portion and a background portion, where the background portion includes image content of a three-dimensional (3D) environment. A camera pose of the source image may be determined by comparing features of the source image to image features of target images of the 3D environment and using the camera pose to segment the foreground portion from the background portion may generate a segmented source image. The resulting segmented source image and the associated camera pose may be stored in a networked database. The camera pose and segmented source image may be used to provide a simulation of the foreground portion in a virtual 3D environment.

  • Publication number: 20160128617
    Abstract: System and techniques for social cuing based on in-context observation are described herein. A plurality of context attributes about a user and a subject may be received. A period in which an interpersonal interaction between the user and the subject occurs may be determined. A social-interaction-emotional-state may be determined during the period from the plurality of context attributes using a pre-defined classification methodology. A feedback response may be generated based on the determined social-interaction-emotional-state. The feedback may be presented to the user.
