Abstract: Techniques detecting usage of copyrighted video content using object recognition are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises determining, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, digest information for a video, wherein the digest information comprises objects appearing in the video and respective times at which the objects appear in the video. The method further comprises comparing, by the system, the digest information with reference digest information for reference videos, wherein the reference digest information identifies reference objects appearing in the reference videos and respective reference times at which the reference objects appear in the reference videos. The method further comprises determining, by the system, whether the video comprises content included in one or more of the reference videos based on a degree of similarity between the digest information and reference digest information associated with one or more of the reference videos.

Abstract: A computer speech output control method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include a computer speech output unit configured to output a computer speech, a human speech monitoring circuit configured to determine whether ambient human conversation including human-to-human speech is occurring, and an interruption determining circuit configured to determine whether to cause the computer speech output unit to output the computer speech based on a status of the human conversation.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method of collecting data to provide a personalized nutrition recommendation to a user, including receiving input from a sensor and/or an interface of a wearable electronic device of the user. The input includes physiological factors and/or environmental factors measured by the wearable electronic device, the environmental factors including sun exposure and air quality. A processor connected to the sensor and/or interface predicts nutritional deficiencies based on the input. The processor generates a personalized supplement recommendation for the user based on the nutritional deficiencies. The personalized supplement recommendation is displayed to the user on a display connected to the processor.

Abstract: Electronic communication systems can be enhanced to allow a sender to indicate a topic and request an amount time for a conversation. The topic and time requested can be displayed to a recipient along with the sender's identification so that the recipient can choose to accept or reject the conversation. If the conversation is accepted, the topic and an amount of time remaining can be displayed to both the sender and the recipient. In addition, the sender and the recipient can be reminded of the topic if the discussions are off-topic.
