Image Based (addressing) Patents (Class 345/667)
  • Patent number: 11954821
    Abstract: An image has pixels arranged in perpendicular rows/columns. The size of the image is changed to produce a changed-size image and the changed-size image is output. The process of changing the size of the image adds at least one row/column as at least one inserted row/column. The inserted row/column is made up of data from generating adjacent rows/columns of the perpendicular rows/columns. Embodiments that reduce the size of the image remove the generating adjacent rows/columns that were used to form the inserted row/column and, in such reduction processing the inserted row/column is added where the (now removed) generating adjacent rows/columns were previously positioned. In embodiments that increase the size of the image, instead of removing the generating adjacent rows/columns, the inserted row/column is merely inserted between the adjacent rows/columns.

  • Patent number: 11756077
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein select a content message to present to a user on a page of an application based on paralinguistic features of audio input received from the user for the application. The audio input is received via a microphone associated with a computing device. A feature extractor extracts paralinguistic features from the audio input. A predictive model determines a label indicating a measure of receptiveness to product placement (e.g., a predicted marketing outcome) based on the paralinguistic features. A content-selection component selects a content message to present to the user based on the label and based on a profile of the user.

  • Patent number: 11756503
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display panel and image processing circuitry. The image processing circuitry receives input image data corresponding to an image to display on the display panel, modifies the input image data by executing a first context task (e.g., lower priority task), and receives a context switch request. The image processing circuitry also pauses modification of the input image data by pausing execution of the first context task and then switches to modifying the input image data by executing a second context task (e.g., higher priority task).

  • Patent number: 11587483
    Abstract: Disclosed are an image display device and a motion detection method of an image display device. The image display device includes a motion detection unit for detecting a motion of a user and provides a welcome feedback to the user in the form of a visual signal, an audio signal, or both according to whether the motion of the user is detected or not, thereby drawing attention of the user or switching a display state to reduce power consumption of the image display device. The image display device determines a motion exception event that is not regarded a user motion on the basis of an overall change or a local change in pixel value between image frames, thereby preventing the display panel from being activated by a non-human-related factor such as a sudden change in illuminance or a movement of a periodically operating object.

  • Patent number: 11561678
    Abstract: An image of a user interface of a device is captured. A graphical object is identified in the image of the user interface. For example, a menu item or a text object is identified in the image of the user interface. An Artificial Intelligence (AI) process is used to determine a confidence score for the graphical object; the confidence score identifies a confidence of how likely a type of the graphical object can be identified. In response to the first confidence score not meeting a threshold, a zoomed in image of the graphical object is taken or a zoomed-out image of the graphical object is taken. The zoomed in image or the zoomed-out image is used to increase the confidence score to better identify the type of the graphical object.

  • Patent number: 11557116
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scalable comparisons between two pixel maps are provided. In an embodiment, an agricultural intelligence computer system generates pixel maps from non-image data by transforming a plurality of values and location values into pixel values and pixel locations. The non-image data may include data relating to a particular agricultural field, such as nutrient content in the soil, pH values, soil moisture, elevation, temperature, and/or measured crop yields. The agricultural intelligence computer system converts each pixel map into a vector of values. The agricultural intelligence computer system also generates a matrix of metric coefficients where each value in the matrix of metric coefficients is computed using a spatial distance between to pixel locations in one of the pixel maps. Using the vectors of values and the matrix of metric coefficients, the agricultural intelligence computer system generates a difference metric identifying a difference between the two pixel maps.

  • Patent number: 9910846
    Abstract: A conversion device includes an input unit configured to input position information of a user's line of sight on a screen; an acquiring unit configured to acquire, a character string included in a predetermined range from a position indicated by the position information, among character strings displayed on the screen; and a display control unit configured to display a list of character strings corresponding to readings including an input character as conversion candidates of the input character, among stored character strings, the list being displayed in response to the input character being input by the user. The display control unit increases a priority in a display order in the list for a character string that matches any of the acquired character strings, such that the priority is higher than that of a case where the character string does not match any of the character strings acquired by the acquiring unit.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for paginating documents such as html documents is disclosed. A document viewing engine generates a preliminary layout for the, the preliminary layout having a layout width that is equivalent to a viewport width of a viewport on which the document will be displayed. The document viewing engine computes a final layout for the document based on determining a plurality of horizontal pixel lines where page breaks can be placed without cutting off any element in the document and assigns page breaks to one or more of the plurality of horizontal pixel lines based on a height of the viewport. The document viewing engine identifies, for a current page, one or more visual elements that will not be fully within the viewport if painted. The document viewing engine paints the current page without painting the identified one or more visual elements.
