  • Patent number: 10373613
    Abstract: A dual-mode voice control method is disclosed. The method may comprise determining whether a user has executed an operation of activating an operate-to-speak stop determination mode in a voice input interface. The method may further comprise, in response to determining that the user has executed the operation of activating the operate-to-speak stop determination mode, determining whether a microphone is in a busy state. The method may further comprise, in response to determining that the microphone is in the busy state, switching a voice mode from a directly-speak automatic stop determination mode to the operate-to-speak stop determination mode. Before the user executes the operation of activating the operate-to-speak stop determination mode, the voice mode is in the directly-speak automatic stop determination mode if the microphone is in the busy state.

  • Publication number: 20170337260
    Abstract: The present application discloses a method and a device for storing data. According to the method, entity-related data associated with entities is acquired from a web page, wherein the entity-related data comprises entity data representing the entities, entity attribute data describing attributes of the entities, and inter-entity relationship data describing a relationship between two entities. The entity data and the respective entity attribute data are stored into an entity database in an associated manner. The inter-entity relationship data is stored into a relationship database. Accordingly, the entity data associated with a single entity and the attribute data thereof are collectively stored in the entity database, and the inter-entity relationship data involved with two entities is separately stored in the relationship database. This data storage method avoids data storage redundancy and query aggregation, saves storage space and is convenient for query.

  • Patent number: 9715863
    Abstract: Techniques for scale factor based on viewing distance are described. In at least some embodiments, a viewing distance refers to a distance at which a user typically views and/or is viewing a display device. For instance, different displays can be used in different ways and for different purposes, and thus may have different viewing distances. Techniques discussed herein consider the estimated viewing distance of a particular display in determining a scale factor to be applied to visual elements (e.g., graphics) for output via the particular display. A scale factor, for instance, can specify that visual elements are to zoomed-out or zoomed-in prior to be displayed. As detailed herein, this enables a consistent viewing experience to be maintained across different devices with different display sizes and different viewing distances.

  • Patent number: 9588679
    Abstract: Various embodiments utilize a layout viewport and a visual viewport separate from the layout viewport. The layout viewport is utilized for such things as page layout operations and reporting Document Object Model values to script. The layout viewport can be thought of as an initial rectangle which is equivalent in size to the initial containing block. The initial containing block is a containing block that contains web content that is initially visible to the user. The visual viewport is separate from the layout viewport and is allowed to be freely manipulated relative to the layout viewport. For example, the visual viewport may “push” the layout viewport around when it collides with the layout viewport boundaries. The visual viewport can be thought of as the rectangle that is visible to the user.
