Abstract: A system and method for locating an electronic button on a graphical user interface of an electronic device. This includes taking into consideration at least one characteristic of the graphical user interface, determining a location to place the electronic button within the graphical user interface and displaying the graphical user interface on the display of the electronic device, the graphical user interface including the electronic button at the location.

Abstract: An ear bud active use charging system is disclosed. The ear bud active use charging system includes: a pair of loop charging harnesses, a pair of charging wires, a power receiving interface, a charge cable, and an ear bud charging controller system. The pair of loop charging harnesses interface with one or more of the ear buds. The pair of charging wires each have a first end and a second end. The first end of each pair of charging wires is connected to one of the pair of loop charging harnesses. The second end of each pair of charging wires is connected to a junction section. The charge cable connects to the power receiving interface at a first end and the junction section at a second end. The ear bud charging controller system has a processor and a memory.

Abstract: Techniques are described for delivery and handling of automated user-responsive video sub-content. For example, a user is consuming video content associated with content-of-interest (COI) identifiers corresponding to certain sub-content relevant to the video content during certain playback time windows. During playback, embodiments use one or more sensors detect dynamic user input. At some time during playback of the video content, some of the COI identifiers are considered to be actively relevant, and detected dynamic user input is determined to invoke at least one of the actively relevant COI identifiers. A COI query can automatically be generated based on the invoked one or more COI identifiers, and a corresponding query response can be automatically generated and output to the user based on response data associated with the invoked one or more COI identifiers.

Abstract: Techniques are described for integrated sharing of media playback interactions (MPIs). Responsive to consumer interactions with media content during playback of a media file, embodiments can produce MPIs corresponding to the consumer's changes in the playback presentation of the content. The MPIs can be associated with the media file as one or more sharable embedded MPIs (EMPIs). A consumer can share the media file with its associated EMPIs. When the same or a different consumer subsequently accesses the content from the media file, embodiments permit playback of the content with selective access to the EMPIs. For example, a first consumer can share media content with its associated EMPIs, thereby permitting a second consumer control over which portions of the media content are played back with and without experiencing the first consumer's EMPIs.
