  • Publication number: 20230251826
    Abstract: A method for quickly starting an application service, and a terminal. The method includes acquiring, by a terminal, event trigger information; starting, by the terminal, the application service software after determining that the event trigger information meets a preset quick startup condition; and acquiring, by the terminal, a voice instruction input by a user, and running the application service software according to the voice instruction. According to the method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, application service software is started by using event trigger information, so that a background of a terminal starts to perform recording only after the application service software is started, and background recording is stopped after the terminal provides an application service for a user, preventing a recording device in the background of the terminal from being always in a recording state, and further reducing power consumption of the terminal.

  • Patent number: 11406121
    Abstract: A rice cooker assembly uses machine learning models to identify and classify content in grain mixtures thereby to provide better automation of the cooking process. As one example, a rice cooker has a chamber storing grains. A camera is positioned to view an interior of the chamber. The camera captures images of the contents of the chamber. From the images, the machine learning model determines whether the contents of the chamber includes one type or multiple types of grain or whether the contents of the chamber includes any inedible objects. The machine learning model further classifies the one or more types of grains and inedible objects if any. The cooking process may be controlled accordingly. The machine learning model may be resident in the rice cooker or it may be accessed via a network.

  • Patent number: 10817716
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a process to identify one or more areas containing a hand or hands of one or more subjects in an image. The detection process can start with coarsely locating one or more segments in the image that contain portions of the hand(s) of the subject(s) in the image using a coarse CNN. The detection process can then combine these segments to obtain the one or more areas capturing the hand(s) of the subject(s) in the image. The combined area(s) can then be fed to a grid-based deep neural network finely detect area(s) in the image that contain only the hand(s) of the subject(s) captured.
