  • Publication number: 20130144595
    Abstract: Techniques for ability enhancement are described. Some embodiments provide an ability enhancement facilitator system (“AEFS”) configured to automatically translate utterances from a first to a second language, based on speaker-related information determined from speaker utterances and/or other sources of information. In one embodiment, the AEFS receives data that represents an utterance of a speaker in a first language, the utterance obtained by a hearing device of the user, such as a hearing aid, smart phone, media player/device, or the like. The AEFS then determines speaker-related information associated with the identified speaker, such as by determining demographic information (e.g., gender, language, country/region of origin) and/or identifying information (e.g., name or title) of the speaker. The AEFS translates the utterance in the first language into a message in a second language, based on the determined speaker-related information.

  • Publication number: 20130133052
    Abstract: A computationally implemented method includes, but is not limited to: determining a behavioral fingerprint associated with a network accessible user of one or more devices, the behavioral fingerprint providing a current status of the network-accessible user; and identifying a current device of the one or more devices as being currently used by the network-accessible user as a function of the determined behavioral fingerprint. In addition to the foregoing, other method aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text forming a part of the present disclosure.

  • Publication number: 20130117105
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for presenting auxiliary content and information regarding browsing and/or navigation futures to be used in a gesture-based user interface are provided. Example embodiments provide a Gesture Based Content Presentation System (GBCPS), which enables a gesture-based user interface to offer to one or more sponsors of content information regarding a next content to be examined by a user related to a portion of electronic input that has been indicated by a received gesture. In overview, the GBCPS allows a portion (e.g., an area, part, etc.) of electronically presented content to be dynamically indicated by a gesture. The GBCPS examines the indicated portion in conjunction with potentially a set of (e.g., one or more) factors to determine a next content and distributes information to potential sponsors. Once auxiliary content is received or determined, it is then presented to the user when the next content is navigated to.

  • Publication number: 20130117111
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for presenting sponsor supplied content associated with commercial opportunities in a gesture-based user interface are provided. Example embodiments provide a Gesture Based Content Presentation System (GBCPS), which enables a gesture-based user interface to determine and present sponsor supplied content associated with an opportunity for commercialization related to a portion of electronic input that has been indicated by a received gesture. In overview, the GBCPS allows a portion (e.g., an area, part, etc.) of electronically presented content to be dynamically indicated by a gesture. The GBCPS examines the indicated portion in conjunction with possibly a set of (e.g., one or more) factors to determine which sponsor supplied content associated with an opportunity for commercialization to present.

  • Publication number: 20130117130
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for presenting commercial opportunities to be used in a gesture-based user interface are provided. Example embodiments provide a Gesture Based Content Presentation System (GBCPS), which enables a gesture-based user interface to offer occasions for an opportunity for commercialization related to a portion of electronic input that has been indicated by a received gesture to one or more sponsors of content. In overview, the GBCPS allows a portion (e.g., an area, part, etc.) of electronically presented content to be dynamically indicated by a gesture. The GBCPS examines the indicated portion in conjunction with a set of (e.g., one or more) factors to determine which opportunity for commercialization to present which is dynamically or has been previously associated with the content indicated by the gesture. Once the opportunity for commercialization is determined, it is then presented to the user in conjunction with the indicated product and/or service.

  • Publication number: 20130085855
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for automatically providing auxiliary content are provided. Example embodiments provide a Gesture Based Navigation System (GBNS), which enables a gesture-based user interface to navigate to auxiliary content that is related to an portion of electronic input that has been indicated by a received gesture. In overview, the GBNS allows a portion (e.g., an area, part, or the like) of electronically presented content to be dynamically indicated by a gesture. The GBNS then examines the indicated portion in conjunction with a set of (e.g., one or more) factors to determine auxiliary content to navigate to. Auxiliary content may be in many forms, including, for example, a web page, code, document, or the like. Once the auxiliary content is determined, it is then presented to the user, for example, using a separate panel, an overlay, or in any other fashion.
