  • Patent number: 11962645
    Abstract: Systems and methods for guided personal identity based actions are provided. In example embodiments, a user-specified action from a first user device of a first user is received. The user-specified action pertains to the first user and uses data of the first user when performed. The user-specified action is linked to an identifier. An indication of the identifier is received from a second user device of a second user. In response to receiving the indication of the identifier, the user-specified action linked to the identifier is identified, the data of the first user is accessed, a user interface that includes an option to perform the user-specified action using the data of the first user is generated, and the generated user interface is presented on the second user device.

  • Patent number: 11675989
    Abstract: Systems and methods for custom functional patterns for optical barcodes are provided. In example embodiments, image data of an image is received from a user device. A candidate shape feature of the image is extracted from the image data. A determination is made that the shape feature satisfies a shape feature rule. In response to the candidate shape feature satisfying the shape feature rule, a custom graphic in the image is identified by comparing the candidate shape feature with a reference shape feature of the custom graphic. In response to identifying the custom graphic, data encoded in a portion of the image is decoded.

  • Publication number: 20220375172
    Abstract: Augmented reality features are selected for presentation to a display of an electronic eyewear device by using a camera of the electronic eyewear device to capture a scan image and processing the scan image to extract contextual signals. Simultaneously, voice data from the user is captured by a microphone of the electronic eyewear device and voice-to-text conversion of the captured voice data is performed to identify keywords in the voice data. The extracted contextual signals and the identified keywords are then used to select at least one augmented reality feature that matches the extracted contextual signals and the identified keywords, and the selected augmented reality feature is presented to the display for user selection. The contextual information thus refines the search results to provide the augmented reality feature best suited for the context of the scan image captured by the electronic eyewear device.
