Patent number: 9131147Abstract: Systems and methods directed to detecting crowds and sharing content based on the devices in proximity to the detected crowd. Systems and methods may utilize a camera included in most mobile devices to estimate how many people are involved in an interaction with the mobile device. Depending on the number of people detected, the systems and methods may invoke appropriate actions. Appropriate actions may involve sharing information by various methods, such as sharing content on a large display, printing or emailing documents. The systems and methods may also be extended to generally detecting a crowd in proximity to a device, and invoking appropriate actions based on the number of people detected.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2011Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Pernilla Quarfordt, Donald Kimber

Patent number: 8965977Abstract: A computer system is coupled to a plurality of subscribers via a network. The computer system obtains first presence information that corresponds to a first calendar of a user and obtains second presence information that corresponds to a second calendar of the user that is different from the first calendar. The computer system determines one or more presence states of the user including determining, based on presence information for the user that includes the first presence information and the second presence information, a first presence state of the user. The computer system provides the respective presence state of the user, selected from the one or more presence states of the user, to the subscribers via the network.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2013Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jacob Biehl, Althea Turner, Pernilla Quarfordt, Anthony Dunnigan, William van Melle, Gene Golovchinsky deceased

Patent number: 8838684Abstract: A system and method for determining a presence state of a person. A plurality of data feeds is received. A subset of the plurality of data feeds that includes data regarding presence states of a first person is identified. The subset of the plurality of data feeds are analyzed to determine a plurality of presence states of the first person, wherein a respective presence state of the first person is determined from a respective data feed in the subset of the plurality of data feeds. One or more presence states of the plurality of presence states are reported to subscribers via the network.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2010Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jacob Biehl, Althea Turner, Pernilla Quarfordt, Anthony Dunnigan, William van Melle, Gene Golovchinsky

Patent number: 8775939Abstract: A system and method for accessing content provided by a presenter during a presentation is described. The system and method includes a presentation module used by a presenter to display presentation materials to audience members during a presentation. Also included is a selection module that allows a display of a representation of the presentation materials that have been displayed. When activated, the selection module enables an audience member to select for redisplay by the presentation module a particular one of the presentation materials.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2009Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: William Van Melle, Gene Golovchinsky, Scott Carter, Pernilla Quarfordt, Anthony Dunnigan

Patent number: 8311279Abstract: The image analysis system includes a processor and memory and displays an image to a first user. The image analysis system tracks gaze of the first user and collects initial gaze data for the first user. The initial gaze data includes a plurality of gaze points. The image analysis system identifies one or more ignored regions of the image based on a distribution of the gaze data within the image; and displays at least a first subset of the image. The first subset of the image is selected so as to include a respective ignored region of the one or more ignored regions and the first subset of the image is displayed in a manner that draws attention to the respective ignored region. In some embodiments, the ignored region is visually emphasized within the image. In some embodiments, only the first subset of the image is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2010Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Pernilla Quarfordt, Jacob Biehl, Gene Golovchinsky
