20140104494 | RELATIONAL DISPLAY OF IMAGES - A method and apparatus for displaying a plurality of secondary images based on image data of a primary image include displaying a primary image and a plurality of secondary images based on the image data of the primary image. Each of the plurality of secondary images is displayed having a size based on a relevance of each respective one of the plurality of secondary images to the primary image. The primary image can be selected from a plurality of images or a frame of a video. Subsets of secondary images can be displayed in clusters including images having content similar to particular content of the primary image. | 04-17-2014 |
20140204123 | Relational Display of Images - A method and apparatus for displaying a plurality of secondary images based on image data of a primary image include displaying a primary image and a plurality of secondary images based on the image data of the primary image. Each of the plurality of secondary images is displayed having a size based on a relevance of each respective one of the plurality of secondary images to the primary image. The primary image can be selected from a plurality of images or a frame of a video. Subsets of secondary images can be displayed in clusters including images having content similar to particular content of the primary image. | 07-24-2014 |
20140208236 | DYNAMIC ACCESS TO EXTERNAL MEDIA CONTENT BASED ON SPEAKER CONTENT - An interactive conference based is supplemented based on terminology content. Terminology content from a plurality of interactive conference participants is monitored. A set of words from the terminology content is selected. Supplemental media content at an external source is identified based on the selected set of words, and selectively made available and presented to an audience member for the interactive conference. | 07-24-2014 |
20140301609 | Method and Apparatus for Automated Analysis and Identification of a Person in Image and Video Content - A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for identifying a person in an image includes an image analyzer. The image analyzer determines the content of an image such as a person, location, and object shown in the image. A person in the image may be identified based on the content and event data stored in a database. Event data includes information concerning events and related people, locations, and objects determined from other images and information. Identification metadata is generated and linked to each analyzed image and comprises information determined during image analysis. Tags for images are generated based on identification metadata. The event database can be queried to identify particular people, locations, objects, and events depending on a user's request. | 10-09-2014 |
20150015485 | Calibrating Vision Systems - Methods, systems, and computer program calibrate a vision system. An image of a human gesture is received that frames a display device. A boundary defined by the human gesture is computed, and gesture area defined by the boundary is also computed. The gesture area is then mapped to pixels in the display device. | 01-15-2015 |
20150016602 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING SECURE IMAGE ENCRYPTION AND DECRYPTION - Methods, non-transitory computer readable media and apparatuses for decrypting an image are disclosed. For example, a method captures a portion of an encrypted image and decrypts the portion of the image using a decryption key. The portion of the image contains partial information for an adjacent portion of the image. The method then displays the portion of the image that is decrypted and also displays the adjacent portion of the image using the partial information for the adjacent portion of the image. Another method includes capturing a first portion of an image that is encrypted using a first key and a second key, decrypting the first portion of the image using a first key and displaying the first portion of the image that is decrypted. | 01-15-2015 |
20150055017 | Relational Display of Images - A method and apparatus for displaying a plurality of secondary images based on image data of a primary image include displaying a primary image and a plurality of secondary images based on the image data of the primary image. Each of the plurality of secondary images is displayed having a size based on a relevance of each respective one of the plurality of secondary images to the primary image. The primary image can be selected from a plurality of images or a frame of a video. Subsets of secondary images can be displayed in clusters including images having content similar to particular content of the primary image. | 02-26-2015 |
20150058004 | AUGMENTED MULTI-TIER CLASSIFIER FOR MULTI-MODAL VOICE ACTIVITY DETECTION - Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for detecting voice activity in a media signal in an augmented, multi-tier classifier architecture. A system configured to practice the method can receive, from a first classifier, a first voice activity indicator detected in a first modality for a human subject. Then, the system can receive, from a second classifier, a second voice activity indicator detected in a second modality for the human subject, wherein the first voice activity indicator and the second voice activity indicators are based on the human subject at a same time, and wherein the first modality and the second modality are different. The system can concatenate, via a third classifier, the first voice activity indicator and the second voice activity indicator with original features of the human subject, to yield a classifier output, and determine voice activity based on the classifier output. | 02-26-2015 |
20150081302 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC FACIAL FEATURES FOR SPEAKER RECOGNITION - Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for performing speaker verification. A system configured to practice the method receives a request to verify a speaker, generates a text challenge that is unique to the request, and, in response to the request, prompts the speaker to utter the text challenge. Then the system records a dynamic image feature of the speaker as the speaker utters the text challenge, and performs speaker verification based on the dynamic image feature and the text challenge. Recording the dynamic image feature of the speaker can include recording video of the speaker while speaking the text challenge. The dynamic feature can include a movement pattern of head, lips, mouth, eyes, and/or eyebrows of the speaker. The dynamic image feature can relate to phonetic content of the speaker speaking the challenge, speech prosody, and the speaker's facial expression responding to content of the challenge. | 03-19-2015 |
20150084838 | Public Signage - A network of intelligent electronic public signs interacts with one or many devices. A central server manages the electronic public signs and determines which one of the electronic public signs should display content related to a device. The central server may thus pair devices to electronic public signs for public display of individual content requests. Should any interaction involve personal or private information, the central server may exclude the corresponding response from public display. Any personal or private interactions may, instead, be privately conducted to prevent public display. | 03-26-2015 |
