  • Publication number: 20220379636
    Abstract: An autonomous moving apparatus includes a handheld housing adapted to contain a printing head, an actuating mechanism adapted to move the housing on top of a printing surface, an audio sensor, and at least one non-audio sensor selected from a group comprising a distance sensor, a touch sensor, and an image sensor. Processing circuitry is adapted to execute a code for analyzing an audio signal captured by the audio sensor to detect a voice command; in response to the detection of the voice command, analyzing readings of at least one non-audio sensor to identify a triggering event; in response to the detection of the triggering event, instructing the actuating mechanism such that the housing moves along a printing pattern associated with the triggering event, and instructing the printing head to print media extracted from the readings, selected according to an analysis of the readings.

  • Patent number: 9952663
    Abstract: A method may track a motion of a body part in a series of images captured by an imager that is associated with an electronic device, and detect in such motion a gesture of the body part that matches a pre-defined gesture. Upon such detection of the gesture, a function that is associated with the gesture is activated but only upon a contact or other input, such as a push of a button by a user. The combination of the ‘push to enable’ and the ‘gesture to activate the function’ may provide comfortable operation of the gesture activation of a function. A system and method of altering a zoom of an image displayed on an electronic device by detecting in a series of images a change in distance between the device and a viewer of the image, and zooming the image to correspond to such change in position. The captured images and detected change in distance may be interpreted by a processor as a zoom gesture that may trigger a zoom of the displayed image.

  • Publication number: 20160311239
    Abstract: A self-propelled printer comprises a processor; an interface communicatively connected to the processor for providing at least information respective of a surface to be printed; a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the self-propelled printer to at least render an image for printing respective of at least a portion of the information received via the interface; a print head communicatively connected to the processer for printing on the surface based on the rendered image; a motor control unit communicatively connected to the processor for propelling the self-propelled printer via at least one motor based on the rendered image; and at least a rotary element connected to the at least one motor, wherein the rotary element is configured to move in at least two directions with respect to the surface based on movement of the at least one motor.

  • Publication number: 20110231250
    Abstract: A method for displaying advertisements on a user device. The method includes generating at least one window frame on the user device by an agent, wherein the at least one window frame is configurable by a user of the user device; periodically communicating with an advertisement management server (AMS) requesting to provide at least one advertisement and its associated metadata; displaying, upon determination that a user is interacting with the user device, the at least one advertisement on the at least one window frame based in part on the metadata; and generating a message of consumption for debiting an advertisement campaign account of the at least one advertisement for the viewing of the at least one advertisement and for crediting a user account of the user for the viewing of the at least one advertisement; and sending the message of consumption to the AMS.
