  • Patent number: 11921988
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for controlling smart devices are described. In one aspect a method includes receiving image data for an image captured by a camera of a mobile device of a user and determining that the image depicts at least one of a smart device or a physical control for the smart device. In response to determining that that the image depicts a smart device or a physical control for the smart device, identifying one or more user interface controls for controlling the smart device, and generating and presenting, at a display of the mobile device, the one or more user interface controls for controlling the smart device. The method can further include detecting, at the display of the mobile device, user interaction with at least one of the one or more user interface controls, and controlling the smart device based on the detected user interaction.

  • Publication number: 20230222792
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for recognizing objects and providing content related to the recognized objects are described. In one aspect, a method includes detecting presence of one or more objects depicted in a viewfinder of a camera of the mobile device. In response to detecting the presence of the one or more objects, image data representing the one or more objects is sent to a content distribution system that selects content related to objects depicted in images. A location of each of the one or more objects in the viewfinder of the camera is tracked while waiting to receive content from the content distribution system. Content related to the one or more objects is received from the content distribution system. A current location of each object in the viewfinder is determined and the content related to the object is presented within the viewfinder at the current location of the object.

  • Publication number: 20230107935
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to digital video analysis. In one aspect, a method includes providing a user interface that enables a user of the computing system to select one or more seed video groups and one or more keywords, wherein each seed video group comprises one or more videos. The user interface is updated to provide candidate video groups selected based on the one or more seed video groups and the one or more keywords and, for each candidate video group, a first user interface control that enables the user to refine the set of candidate video groups to include video groups classified as being similar to the candidate video group. Data indicating user interaction with a given first user interface control for a first candidate video group is received. The user interface is updated to provide an updated set of candidate video groups.

  • Publication number: 20220335908
    Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that includes a display panel that includes a segmented backlight and a display engine, where, for each segment in the segmented backlight, the display engine communicates to the display panel an identifier that indicates if a brightness value of the segment in a next frame in a video stream will change from a brightness value of the segment in a current frame in the video stream. The display panel can include a timing controller (TCON) and the TCON uses the identifier for each segment in the segmented backlight to determine if a brightness of a specific backlight segment for the next frame can be a same level as a brightness of the specific backlight segment for the current frame.

  • Publication number: 20120294114
    Abstract: Sensor and communications systems are disclosed for communicating measurements from subsea equipment, such as at an offshore well, to the surface. A sensor for a physical parameter, such as pressure or temperature at a blowout preventer, capping stack, or conduit in communication with the same, is electrically connected to a subsea acoustic transponder. An acoustic communications device, for example an acoustic transducer and transceiver electronics deployed on a remotely-operated vehicle, interrogates the acoustic transponder with an acoustic signal, in response to which the acoustic transponder transmits an acoustic signal encoded with the measurement. The acquired measurement data are then communicated to a redundant network at the surface. The sensor and acoustic transponder systems can be installed after an event at the subsea equipment, such as blowout of the well.

  • Patent number: 7853119
    Abstract: An apparatus (16) for recording a selected program includes a decoder (32), a recorder (34), and a user interface (36). The user interface (36) permits a user to select the program. The decoder (32) receives a data stream including, a start data packet, content data packets, and an end data packet associated with the selected program. The decoder (32) detects the start data packet associated with the selected program and begins the recorder (34) recording. The context data packets are recorded until the decoder (32) detects the end data packet associated with the selected program and stops the recorder (34).
