Abstract: A digital human development platform can enable a user to generate a digital human. The digital human development platform can receive user input specifying a dialogue for the digital human and one or more behaviors for the digital human, the one or more specified behaviors corresponding with one or more portions of the dialog on a common timeline. Scene data can be generated with the digital human development platform by merging the one or more behaviors with one or more portions of the dialogue based on times of the one or more behaviors and the one or more portions of the dialog on the common timeline.

Abstract: A method includes receiving an input comprising multi-modal inputs such as text, audio, video, or context information from a client device associated with a user, assigning a task associated with the input to a server among a plurality of servers, determining a context response corresponding to the input based on the input and interaction history between the computing system and the user, generating meta data specifying expressions, emotions, and non-verbal and verbal gestures associated with the context response by querying a trained behavior knowledge graph, generating media content output based on the determined context response and the generated meta data, the media content output comprising of text, audio, and visual information corresponding to the determined context response in the expressions, the emotions, and the non-verbal and verbal gestures specified by the meta data, sending instructions for presenting the generated media content output to the user to the client device.

The digital human can be configured to convey the contextual response with a predetermined behavior corresponding to the contextual response.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of providing an emotion-aware reactive interface in an electronic device includes receiving an image of a user as an input and identifying a multi-modal non-verbal cue in the image. The method further includes interpreting the multi-modal non-verbal cue to determine a categorization and outputting a reactive interface event determined based on the categorization.

Abstract: A device may include a camera configured to capture a live image data comprising an image of an object, and a processor coupled to the camera. The processor may be configured to recognize content of a selected portion of the live image data based on a contextual information relevant to the object using computer vision technology, and generate a visual information based on the recognized content. The device may also include an interface circuitry coupled to the processor. The interface circuitry may be configured to present the live image data, and overlay the live image data with the visual information.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may access one or more frames of media content with each frame corresponding to at least part of an image. The computing system may automatically detect at least one object in at least one of the one or more frames. The computing system may automatically identify the at least one object. For each of the identified objects, the computing system may automatically determine an annotation corresponding to that object and each annotation may include one or more graphical elements. For each annotation, the computing system may automatically associate that annotation for display with its corresponding object.

Abstract: A method, mobile device, and non-transitory computer readable medium for transmitting information. The method includes determining, by a mobile device, a distance between the mobile device and another device in response to a request for the mobile device to transmit the information. The method also includes determining, by the mobile device, whether the distance between the mobile device and the other device is within a threshold distance. Additionally, the method includes transmitting, by the mobile device, the information to the other device after determining that the distance between the mobile device and the other device is within the threshold distance.

Abstract: A customizable notification system permits a user of a mobile device to configure notification preferences for different accounts and services that the user subscribes to, such as notification from email, instant messaging, and social networks. A notification viewer on the mobile device provides an aggregated view of notifications coming from different sources, customized according to the user's preferences, such as filter preferences and delivery preferences.

Abstract: A system having multiple short-range transmission devices, each of which is assigned a unique identity and is positioned at a respectively different location within a three dimensional space. The assignment of the identity is according to signals broadcast by short-range device(s) as sensed unambiguously by a listening device or devices proximate to the short-range transmission device(s) and further associating the identity with a reference point.

Abstract: Devices and methods of determining a proximity of a receiver to a tag in a predetermined region. A signal characteristic is sensed at the receiver from the tag and an assisting tag. Zones are defined representing proximity of the receiver to each tag. A presence probability vector for the receiver and zones of each tag is estimated based on the signal characteristic. For the assisting tag, a further presence probability vector for the receiver and zones of the tag is estimated, given the presence probability vector for the assisting tag, based on a spatial relationship between the tag and the assisting tag. A combined probable proximity vector for the receiver and zones of the tag are calculated, using the presence probability vector for the tag and the further presence probability vector via a Bayesian network. The proximity of the receiver to the tag is based on the combined vector.
