Abstract: A video game system provides dialog responses based on a natural language model (NLM). The NLM is a language model that receives a language input, such as a dialog selection, audio recording, or natural language text input provided by a user of the video game system. In response to the language input, and based on a corpus of natural language candidate lines, the NLM identifies one or more potential responses. The video game system selects a final response from the identified potential responses and provides the selected response to the user via, for example, one or more display frames or via an audio output.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device optionally identifies a person's face, and optionally performs an action in accordance with the identification. In some embodiments, an electronic device optionally determines a gaze location in a user interface, and optionally performs an action in accordance with the determination. In some embodiments, an electronic device optionally designates a user as being present at a sound-playback device in accordance with a determination that sound-detection criteria and verification criteria have been satisfied. In some embodiments, an electronic device optionally determines whether a person is further or closer than a threshold distance from a display device, and optionally provides a first or second user interface for display on the display device in accordance with the determination. In some embodiments, an electronic device optionally modifies the playing of media content in accordance with a determination that one or more presence criteria are not satisfied.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to interacting with an electronic device without touching a display screen or other physical input mechanisms. In some examples, the electronic device performs an operation in response to a positioning of a user's hand and/or an orientation of the electronic device.

Abstract: An electronic device has multiple cameras and displays a digital viewfinder user interface for previewing visual information provided by the cameras. The multiple cameras may have different properties such as focal lengths. When a single digital viewfinder is provided, the user interface allows zooming over a zoom range that includes the respective zoom ranges of both cameras. The zoom setting to determine which camera provides visual information to the viewfinder and which camera is used to capture visual information. The user interface also allows the simultaneous display of content provided by different cameras at the same time. When two digital viewfinders are provided, the user interface allows zooming, freezing, and panning of one digital viewfinder independently of the other. The device allows storing of a composite images and/or videos using both digital viewfinders and corresponding cameras.

Abstract: A computer system displays virtual objects overlaid on a view of a physical environment as a virtual effect. The computer system displays respective animated movements of the virtual objects over the view of the physical environment, wherein the respective animated movements are constrained in accordance with a direction of simulated gravity associated with the view of the physical environment. If current positions of virtual objects during the respective animated movement of the virtual objects corresponds to different surfaces at different heights detected in the view of the physical environment, the computer constrains the respective animated movements of the virtual objects in accordance with the different surfaces detected in the view of the physical environment.

Abstract: A device displays, in a first display region of a camera user interface, a first live view from a first camera. While displaying the first live view from the first camera, the device detects movement of a first user input (e.g., a first contact on a touch-sensitive surface). In accordance with a determination that the movement of the first user input meets first movement criteria, the device moves the first live view in the first display region in accordance with the movement of the first user input, displays a second live view from a second camera, and moves the second live view in the first display region in accordance with the movement of the first user input.

Abstract: A novel method can determine the mechanical properties of additively manufactured structures using artificial neural network and computer vision models. Using this methodology, simulation times can be dramatically reduced, allowing for the implementation of a genetic algorithm which can determine the optimal AM parameters to achieve a targeted mechanical response.

Abstract: A system includes one or more processors configured to receive a unique customer identifier that is generated by a computer of a referring vendor. The unique customer identifier associates a customer with a product purchased by the customer and covered by a referral agreement. The one or more processors distribute promotional material of a referral receiving vendor to the customer associated with the unique customer identifier. The promotional material incorporates the unique customer identifier. The system includes a computer of the referral receiving vendor that receives one or both of the promotional material or the unique customer identifier from the customer at a point of sale with the referral receiving vendor. Upon validating the unique customer identifier, the computer of the referral receiving vendor is configured to discount a purchase price of one or more items according to a predetermined discount rate in the promotional material.

Abstract: A digital data exchange system includes a controller configured to receive a request message from a personal computing device of a first party. The request message includes information about at least one desired product or service. The controller is configured to communicate the request message to vendor computing devices of multiple vendors. Responsive to receiving one or more response messages from the vendor computing devices, the controller is configured to communicate the one or more response messages or information from the one or more response messages to the personal computing device of the first party. Each of the one or more response messages includes one or more of an offer for sale of the at least one desired product or service or promotional material related to the at least one desired product or service, and is generated upon receipt of the request message at the respective vendor computing device.

Abstract: A 3D shelf talker in the form of a planar substrate has a profile and scored fold lines defining three advertising panels for displaying text and/or graphics identified with a product, and at least one fastener panel integral with one of the advertising panels and adherable to another of the panels for stabilizing the shelf talker once erected into a hollow rectangular parallelepiped. The fastener panel may be provided with a connector for mounting the shelf talker on a shelf fixture in an aisle of a store where one of the advertising panels is visible for indicating the location of the product to a customer along either end of the aisle or directly opposite the product.

Abstract: A scent sampler and air freshener has a wafer of an absorbent resilient material infused with a liquid containing a scent. The wafer is encapsulated in a chamber formed between two panels of sheet material with edges sealed together to form an envelope. An opening in one of the panels enables scent from the liquid to be emitted to the ambient atmosphere. The rate of emission can be increased by squeezing the panels to compress the wafer. The interior surfaces of the panels can be coated with a barrier film to prevent leakage of the liquid from contaminating the sheet material.
