  • Patent number: 11425063
    Abstract: One or more systems and/or techniques for generating a content item from content within a content area are described herein. A first boundary and a second boundary may be defined for a content area based upon a first user input and a second user input, such as swipe gestures. A content item may be generated based upon content within the content area. In an example, a beginning boundary designator may be displayed for the first boundary and an ending boundary designator may be displayed for the second boundary in response to one or more swipe gestures of a user interface. In an example, the content item may be stitched to a second content item to create a stitched content item.

  • Patent number: 9283477
    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are disclosed for providing social games. In accordance with one implementation, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving a selection from a user to activate the social game. The method also includes receiving, with at least one processor, the previously recorded content for the social game. In accordance with the present disclosure, the method also includes playing back, in response to the selection, the previously recorded content to the user and recording the user's interaction with the previously recorded content while playing back the previously recorded content.

  • Publication number: 20150140893
    Abstract: There is provided as toy adapted to have an interaction with at least one other such toy, comprising: a processor and a memory coupled to said processor; wherein said processor comprises: means for generating an output signal representative of an action to be performed; and means for generating a trigger signal, for reception at at least one other such toy, to trigger said other such toy to perform an action before the said toy has completed its own action. Furthermore, the trigger signal is generated at pre-determined time interval after said toy has initiated its own action, or the trigger signal is generated at a pre-determined time interval before said toy has completed its own action.
