Abstract: Systems and methods for providing spoken messages that reflect event status of one or more hazard detection systems within a smart-home environment are described herein. The messages can inform occupants in concise manner that does not overload cognitive recognition of those occupants. For example, the messages may be prioritized to limit the amount of information that is spoken and intelligently condense information in as concise a manner as possible. This may be accomplished by using one or more speaking paradigms to compile audible messages to be played back through a speaker of the hazard detection system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for self-administering test to verify operation of various components within a hazard detection system are described herein. Users may be able interact with their mobile devices to control and monitor the results of test being administered by the hazard detection system. The mobile device may receive status updates from a central server that receives data from one or more hazard detection systems within a structure. The status information may be displayed on the user's device to inform the user of potential issues that any of his or her hazard detection systems may have.

Abstract: An electronic system includes: a control unit configured to: detect a motion applied to a device with a display in a mode; select another mode of the display based on the device motion; and a user interface, coupled to the control unit, configured to apply a screen motion to the another mode of the display.

Abstract: An computing system includes: a storage unit including a memory configured to store a device interface; and a control unit including a processor, coupled to the storage unit, configured to: determine a communication frequency based on a discovery communication for identifying a target device, determine a channel type based on the communication frequency for establishing a backhaul communication to the target device, and determine the device interface to be displayed based on the channel type for controlling the target device for displaying on a client device.

Abstract: A state client is configured to allow a user to specify a meeting-specific state, such as that the user is running late for a meeting, checked in to the meeting, or unable to attend the meeting. A state service stores data identifying the user's meeting-specific state. The state service also responds to requests for the state of the user. In one implementation, when such a request is received, the state service determines whether the user is an invitee to the same meeting as the user requesting the state. If not, the state service returns a general-purpose state indicator for the user. If both users are invitees to the same meeting, the state service returns the meeting-specific state indicator, which may then be displayed by a state client.

Abstract: A content delivery system includes: a background provider configured to provide a background interface; a pane provider module, coupled to the background provider module, configured to provide a pane interface having a non-horizontal slant side overlapping the background interface; and a menu provider module, coupled to the pane provider module, configured to provide a menu interface having a slant menu side overlapping the non-horizontal slant side of the pane interface creating a blade non-right angle for displaying on a device.

Abstract: A navigation system includes: a location unit configured to calculate a current location for locating a device; a control unit configured to: select a remote target; determine a local navigation route from the current location to a remote location of the remote target for following the remote target; and generate a local augmented reality image with the local navigation route associated with the remote target for displaying on the device.

Abstract: A content delivery system includes: a profile module configured to determine a profile; a current location module, coupled to the profile module, configured to calculate a current location associated with the profile; and a content generation module, coupled to the additional location module, configured to generate a contextual content based on the profile and within a geofence of the current location for displaying on the device, the geofence is for connecting a device to another device.

Abstract: A computing system includes: a control unit configured to determine an entry type based on detecting an activation spot, determine an interface characteristic based on the entry type, provide a device content based on the interface characteristic, and a communication interface, coupled to the control unit, configured to communicate the device content for presenting on a device.

Abstract: An electronic system includes: a control unit configured to: detect a motion applied to a device with a display in a mode; select another mode of the display based on the device motion; and a user interface, coupled to the control unit, configured to apply a screen motion to the another mode of the display.

Abstract: A method of operation of a content delivery system includes: determining a display dimension for measuring a device interface of a device; generating segment surface areas based on the display dimension, the segment surface areas having segmentation measures; and generating a foldable surface area based on the segment surface areas, the foldable surface area having surface folds in alternating angles at the segmentation measures for displaying on the device.

Abstract: A method of operation of an entertainment system includes: identifying an entertainment input type for classifying an entertainment activity; detecting an entertainment break period based on the entertainment input type; determining a task priority for temporally overlapping a schedule task with the entertainment break period; calculating an adjusted entertainment schedule based on the task priority for engaging in the entertainment activity and the schedule task; and generating a task-suggestion based on the adjusted entertainment schedule for displaying on a device.

Abstract: A meeting lifecycle management service manages various aspects of a meeting lifecycle. An indication of a newly scheduled meeting is received at the meeting lifecycle management service, and information related to the meeting is managed, via the meeting lifecycle management service, prior to the meeting, during the meeting, and after the meeting.
