  • Publication number: 20160182940
    Abstract: Various systems and methods for providing a repositionable video display on a mobile device, to emulate the effect of user-controlled binoculars, are described herein. In one example, one or more high resolution video sources (such as UltraHD video cameras) obtain video that is wirelessly broadcasted to mobile devices. The mobile device processes the broadcast based on the approximate location of the spectator's mobile device, relative to a scene within the field of view of the mobile device. The location of the mobile device may be derived from a combination of network monitoring, camera inputs, object recognition, and the like. Accordingly, the spectator can obtain a virtual magnification of a scene from an external video source displayed on the spectator's mobile device.

  • Patent number: 8571853
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for laughter detection. Laughter is detected through the presence of a sequence of at least a predetermined number such as three consecutive bursts, each burst comprising a voiced portion and an unvoiced portion. After detecting bursts, n-tuples such as triplets are detected, and a likelihood of each burst N-tuple to represent laughter is provided by comparison to predetermined thresholds. Finally, a total score is assigned to the signal based on the grades associated with the triplets and parameters such as the distance between the N-tuples, the total score representing the probability that the audio signal comprises a laughter episode. The method and apparatus preferably comprise a training step and module for determining the thresholds according to manually marked audio signals.
