  • Patent number: 10862836
    Abstract: Implementations relate to automatic response suggestions based on images received in messaging applications. In some implementations, a computer-executed method includes detecting a first image included within a first message received at a second device over a communication network from a first device of a first user, and programmatically analyzing the first image to extract a first image content. The method includes retrieving a first semantic concept associated with the first image content, programmatically generating a suggested response to the first message based on the first semantic concept, and transmitting instructions causing rendering of the suggested response in the messaging application as a suggestion to a second user of the second device.

  • Patent number: 10748553
    Abstract: Systems and methods to provide distortion sensing, prevention, and/or distortion-aware bass enhancement in audio systems can be implemented in a variety of applications. Sensing circuitry can generate statistics based on an input signal received for which an acoustic output is generated. In various embodiments, the statistics can be used such that a multi-notch filter can be used to provide input to a speaker to generate the acoustic output. In various embodiments, the statistics from the sensing circuitry can be provided to a bass parameter controller coupled to bass enhancement circuitry to operatively provide parameters to the bass enhancement circuitry. The bass enhancement circuitry can provide a bass enhanced signal for generation of the acoustic output, based on the parameters. Various combinations of a multi-notch filter and bass enhancement circuitry using statistics from sensing circuitry can be implemented to provide an enhanced acoustic output.

  • Patent number: 10416846
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media related to determining graphical element(s) (e.g., emojis, GIFs, stickers) for inclusion in an electronic communication being formulated by a user via a computing device of the user, and providing the graphical element(s) for inclusion in the electronic communication. For example, the graphical element(s) may be provided for presentation to the user via a display of the computing device of the user and, in response to user interface input directed to one of the graphical element(s), that graphical element may be incorporated in the electronic communication. In various implementations, the electronic communication is a communication to be submitted as part of a dialog that involves the user and one or more additional users.
