Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for generating a merged media playlist. A plurality of playlists is obtained, each playlist including a plurality of identifiers that identify an item of media content, such as a song. For each item of media content identified in each of the playlists, a feature value is obtained. The feature value may be, for instance, a value representing a characteristic associated with the item of media content. A feature score may be generated for each of the one or more features that is based on the number of occurrences of the feature value associated with the particular feature in a given playlist. The feature scores may then be used to generate a media content item score for each item of media content in each playlist. Based, at least on the media content item scores, a merged media playlist may be generated and ordered.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for automatically enabling a touchscreen of a mobile device based on detection of the presence of a human finger. A mobile device can capture an image of an object with a fingerprint sensor. The mobile device may then enable a touchscreen display of the mobile device in response to a determination that the object captured within the image is a specific type of object.

Abstract: An object detection system for capturing one or more sensor images of an object is provided that includes a touch system including a touch-sensitive screen and a display of a device. The object detection system also includes a sensor system including a sensor array and a processing component. The sensor array is coupled to the touch-sensitive screen, and the processing component is configured to capture one or more images of an object when the object is detected by the touch-sensitive screen. At least a portion of the sensor array overlaps with at least a portion of the touch-sensitive screen.
