  • Patent number: 11537356
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns the playback of audio, e.g. in the form of music. More particularly, the disclosure concerns the playback of streamed audio. In one example embodiment, there is a method of operating an electronic device for playback of an audio stream. While an audio stream is being played, for example at a user interface of the electronic device, a first request to adjust an energy level (e.g., a tempo) of the played audio stream is received. In response to receiving the first request, the energy level (e.g., the tempo) of the played audio stream is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 10082939
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns the providing of media, and more particularly to the streaming of media. In accordance with an example embodiment, a visual queue of media items (e.g. media items B and C) to be played next may be displayed at a user interface of the electronic device. Each one of the media items is associated with media content of a respective media content stream. While a media content stream is being played (e.g., a media content stream associated with media item A), a request to play another media content stream in accordance with a user preference may be received by the electronic device. This request may, for example, be a user selection of one of the available mood options. In response to receiving this request, the visual queue of the media items to be played next can be adjusted, and thus changed, in dependence of the selected mood option.

  • Publication number: 20140306963
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are described including receiving multiple two-dimensional (2D) images of a scene, using the 2D images to determine three-dimensional (3D) information associated with the scene, and determining a user viewing angle with respect to a display. The 3D information and the user viewing angle may then be used to present a generated image on the display. If the user moves with respect to the display then a correspondingly new user viewing angle may be determined and, using the 3D information and the new user viewing angle, a different generated image may be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20130272609
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are described including using object motion appearing in pre-capture images to perform 3D reconstruction of a scene. Objects may be segmented and tracked within the pre-capture images using image processing techniques such as image segmentation and/or object recognition. The image processing results may then be used to automatically tag subsequently captured images. Further, the image processing results may also be used to interactively control an imaging device's focusing mechanism prior to image capture.
