Abstract: An approach is provided that automatically adjusts a band of a wearable electronic device. The approach detects conditions, such as activity-based conditions and location-based conditions, and automatically adjusts the band of the wearable electronic device based on the detected conditions.

Abstract: An approach is provided that receives, at a smartglasses device, a set of image data from a digital camera that is external to the smartglasses device. The approach further displays an image at the smartglasses based on the set of image data.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed that receives a gesture from a user at a locked touch enabled device. The gesture received includes both a notification selection and the user's fingerprint. An action is then performed at the device, with the action that is performed being based on the notification that was selected.

Abstract: An approach is provided for identifying power loss events. The approach further performs power saving actions at a battery powered device that are responsive to the identified power loss event.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed that locates available parking spaces from a set of parking spaces, such as in a parking lot. The approach retrieves a clearance distance that needed between a parked vehicle parked in an adjacent parking space to the identified parking space. After retrieving the needed clearance distance, the system transmit an instruction to a self-driving vehicle to park in the identified parking space and leave the clearance distance between the self-driving vehicle and the parked vehicle.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed that receives a set of visual media data that corresponds to a person. The process detects that a portion of the visual media data is biometric data that corresponds to the person. Responsively, the process alters the biometric data so that the altered biometric data fails to identify the person.

Abstract: An approach is disclosed that provides a display component that includes a backlight layer, a diffuser layer, and a liquid crystal layer. The diffuser layer diffuses light emitted from the backlight layer into both visible spectrum light as well as infrared spectrum light suitable for infrared photography.

Abstract: An approach is provided that determines that a wearable electronic device is in a misplaced condition. In response to determining that the wearable electronic device is in a misplaced condition, the approach transmits an alert regarding the misplaced condition.

Abstract: An approach is provided that receives, at a smartglasses device, a set of image data from a digital camera that is external to the smartglasses device. The approach further displays an image at the smartglasses based on the set of image data.

Abstract: An approach is provided for identifying favorite multimedia content, such as digital photographs, possessed by a user. The approach detects a number of content sharing actions involving multimedia content, such as digital photographs, with the detecting being from a number of content handling applications, such as social media sites and person-to-person sharing. One of the content handling applications is a content player, such as a image viewer, that runs on a portable device, such as a smart phone or tablet computer system. The approach computes a shared content score for each of the multimedia content, with the shared content score being based on the content handling application that was used in the content sharing actions. The approach further identifies “favorite” multimedia content based on the shared content score pertaining to each multimedia content.
