  • Publication number: 20200077016
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for configuring an image capture device. A target activity context for a target object in an image is received by a computer system from the image capture device. A set of photographers for the target object is identified using target activity context. The set of photographers identified is sent to the image capture device. Responsive to receiving a selection of a photographer from the set of photographers from the image capture device, an inbound activity context for the photographer for the target object is sent to the image capture device, wherein the image capture device is configured to capture the image of the target object using the inbound activity context.

  • Publication number: 20190340232
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and visual display apparatus include a processor(s) obtaining data indicating that a user wearing the apparatus (which included an image capture device, and a projection device, communicatively coupled to the processor(s)), perceives displayed text with consistent character differences. The processor(s) obtains, from the image capture device, an image of a visual display within a visual range of the image capture device; the image includes textual elements. Based on the data, the processor(s) transforms the image into the new image that includes the textual elements with pre-defined character substitutions, based on the consistent character differences. The processor(s) displays, via the projection device, the new image, to the user, wherein based on viewing the new image, the user views the textual elements without the consistent character differences.

  • Publication number: 20190317612
    Abstract: Character input error correction is provided by receiving from a keyboard character input by a user. The character input includes character input errors by the user, the character input errors being input of incorrect characters by the user via the keyboard. The character input errors of the character input are automatically identified and classified into character error classification(s). Each character error classification corresponds to a respective visual transformation of input characters. It is determined that a frequency of the identified and classified character input errors exceeds a predefined threshold confidence level for triggering application of keyboard corrections for user input. Based on the determining, keyboard corrections are applied for user input. The applying keyboard corrections includes applying a correction to character(s) displayed for or input by the user. The applied correction is based on at least one of the classification(s) into which the character input errors are classified.

  • Patent number: 10129461
    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, a system dynamically captures and stores an image based on the context of the image being captured. Initially, an image capture device receives and analyzes an image to determine a first set of one or more attributes associated with the image. A processor compares the first set of attributes associated with the image with a second set of one or more pre-defined attributes associated with an image context indicating preferences for image capture, and, based on the results of the comparing, instructs the image capture device to store the image. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and computer program product for capturing an image based on the context of the image in substantially the same manner described above.
