  • Publication number: 20160057331
    Abstract: A method, which is performed by an electronic device, of automatically activating a flash for an image sensor of the electronic device is disclosed. The method may include receiving a first image including at least one text region and determining feature data characterizing the at least one text region in the first image. The method may also identify at least one candidate specular reflection region in the first image. Based on the feature data and the at least one candidate specular reflection region, the flash may be activated. Upon activating the flash, a second image including the at least one text region may be captured.

  • Publication number: 20160029217
    Abstract: A mobile wireless device detects a first wireless device that seems to be a known access point. Location-specific contextual information for the first wireless device is identified. A wireless connection with the first wireless device is established if it is determined that the location-specific contextual information for the first wireless device matches known location-specific contextual information for the access point. A wireless connection with the first wireless device is not established, or is only established after receiving user confirmation, if it is determined that the location-specific contextual information for the first wireless device does not match the known location-specific contextual information for the access point.

  • Patent number: 9073493
    Abstract: According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a method for adjusting a view mirror in a vehicle is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a first angle of the view mirror, capturing an image of a head of a driver, determining, from the captured image, a viewing distance and a perpendicular distance between a location in the head and the view mirror, calculating a view angle based on the viewing distance and the perpendicular distance, wherein the view angle is an angle between a direction orthogonal to the view mirror and a view direction associated with the location in the head and the view mirror, determining a second angle of the view mirror based on the first angle and the view angle, and adjusting the view mirror from the first angle to the second angle.
