20120027256 | Automatic Media Sharing Via Shutter Click - A computer-implemented method for automatically sharing media between users is provided. Collections of images are received from different users, where each collection is associated with a particular user and the users may be associated with each other. The collections are grouped into one or more albums based on the content of the images in the collection, where each album is associated with a particular user. The albums from the different users are grouped into one or more event groups based on the content of the albums. The event groups are then shared automatically, without user intervention, between the different users based on their associations with each other and their individual sharing preferences. | 02-02-2012 |
20120314917 | Automatic Media Sharing Via Shutter Click - A computer-implemented method for automatically sharing media between users is provided. A first image is received depicting a scene with one or more persons. Face detection information is identified for each person in the first image. Identification information for each face detected is obtained without user intervention. The face detection information and the identification information are associated with the first image. The first image including the associated face detection information and identification information is sent to a server hosting a media sharing service. An access link to an event group is received. The event group includes an album of the first image and a first collection of images that share a set of common features with the first image. | 12-13-2012 |
20130096466 | ENERGY AWARE SENSOR MANAGEMENT FOR WEARABLE MEDICAL SYSTEMS OPTIMIZATION - A sensor system and method configured to take multiple channels of sensors, and based on context and user behavior reflected in the signals, identifies specified channels for sensing according to a sensing policy. The sensing policy is used to reduce the amount of data sampled, such that it is possible to reconstruct the values of the non sampled sensors efficiently. The sensing policy is influenced by user and system's behavior and can be assigned either offline or in real time. | 04-18-2013 |
20130211209 | ENERGY AWARE SENSOR MANAGEMENT FOR WEARABLE MEDICAL SYSTEMS OPTIMIZATION - In some aspects, the invention provides compositions and methods for inhibiting viral infection. In some aspects, the invention provides compositions and methods useful for identifying antiviral compounds. | 08-15-2013 |
20140253504 | MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH SENSORS - The present application discloses a system comprising a mobile device and an assembly of sensors that are attached to the device and that provide added control functions of the device. The sensors may consist of flex pressure or motion sensors or essentially any sensor construct that can receive tactile input from the touch of a user. The sensors are connected to the device through input-output pins or through a proprietary wireless communication protocol. The sensors transfer user actions to provide commands to the device to operate the specific functionalities associated with the sensor data. In certain embodiments, the pressure sensors are formed in an array such that a chain of sensor inputs maps a movement by the user to an action performed by the device. With the appropriate mechanical expedients, haptic capabilities are provided such that feedback to the user is provided by pressure or vibration sensations on the device. | 09-11-2014 |
20140304269 | AUTOMATIC MEDIA SHARING VIA SHUTTER CLICK - A computer-implemented method for automatically sharing media between users is provided. A first image is received depicting a scene with one or more persons. Face detection information is identified for each person in the first image. Identification information for each face detected is obtained without user intervention. The face detection information and the identification information are associated with the first image. The first image including the associated face detection information and identification information is sent to a server hosting a media sharing service. An access link to an event group is received. The event group includes an album of the first image and a first collection of images that share a set of common features with the first image. | 10-09-2014 |
20140344952 | INDEXING AND SEARCHING DOCUMENTS WITH RESTRICTED PORTIONS - One or more computer devices may receive a document from private content that is accessible by a set of users, and may extract metadata from the document. The metadata may provide information relating to one or more aspects of the document. The one or more computer devices may determine, based on the metadata, whether a portion of the document includes information that is only to be accessible by a particular user from the set of users, and may append a restrict indicator to the metadata when the portion of the document includes information that is only to be accessible by the particular user. The restrict indicator may identify the particular user and the portion of the document. The one or more computer devices may store the metadata and the restrict indicator in a personal search index. | 11-20-2014 |
20160092689 | Indexing and Searching Documents with Restricted Portions - One or more computer devices may receive a document from private content that is accessible by a set of users, and may extract metadata from the document. The metadata may provide information relating to one or more aspects of the document. The one or more computer devices may determine, based on the metadata, whether a portion of the document includes information that is only to be accessible by a particular user from the set of users, and may append a restrict indicator to the metadata when the portion of the document includes information that is only to be accessible by the particular user. The restrict indicator may identify the particular user and the portion of the document. The one or more computer devices may store the metadata and the restrict indicator in a personal search index. | 03-31-2016 |
