20110223893 | Genius Button Secondary Commands - Methods, systems and articles for receiving, by a telecommunication device, audio input through a unified audio interface are disclosed herein. The telecommunication device is further configured to perform at least one of a dictation action, an incoming message processing action, a navigation action, a content lookup action, or a contact lookup action while continuously or substantially continuously receiving voice commands from a user. In some aspects, the telecommunications device may continuously receive and process voice command while operating in a driving mode, which may be initiated by the telecommunications device. | 09-15-2011 |
20120086767 | Rate Adaptation for Video Calling - Telecommunication devices are described herein that are configured to establish a video call and adapt frame rates at which video and audio frames of the video call are transmitted. The telecommunication devices adapt frame rates based at least on uplink and downlink link qualities of each telecommunication device. By adapting the frame rates, the telecommunication devices engage in a real-time exchange of the video and audio frames of the video call. A server is also described herein that is configured to conditionally establish a video call between telecommunication devices, to determine link qualities of the telecommunication devices, and to adapt frame rates based at least on the link qualities. | 04-12-2012 |
20120086768 | Video Presence Sharing - Video calling devices are described herein that are configured to exchange video presence statuses with each other. Each of these video calling devices determines its presence status based at least on its network connection type, its login status for a video calling service, and its camera status and provides the presence status to the video calling service. Each video calling device also receives presence statuses of other video calling devices. This exchange of presence statuses enables initiation of video calls between the video calling devices. | 04-12-2012 |
20120188382 | AUTOMATIC SELECTION OF DIGITAL IMAGES FROM A MULTI-SOURCED COLLECTION OF DIGITAL IMAGES - Described herein are techniques related to automatic selection of one or more digital images from a set of digital images collected from multiple image sources, such as such as digital cameras and camera-equipped mobile phones. The automatic selection is based, at least in part, upon various weighted criteria regarding properties (e.g., metadata or content) of the digital images. The automatic selection and other aspects of the techniques described herein can be performed, at least in part, in or by the so-called cloud. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. | 07-26-2012 |
20120188405 | AUTOMATIC SELECTION OF DIGITAL IMAGES WITH AN APPARATUS - Described herein are techniques related to automatic selection of a group of one or more digital images from a set of digital images based, at least in part, upon weighted criteria regarding properties (e.g., metadata or content) of the digital images. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. | 07-26-2012 |
20120189284 | AUTOMATIC HIGHLIGHT REEL PRODUCER - Described herein are techniques related to automatic selection of a subset of digital-video clips (i.e., “highlight reel”) from a set of digital-video clips. The automatic selection is based, at least in part, upon various weighted criteria regarding properties (e.g., metadata, enhanced metadata, and/or content) of the clips. A video-capturing device automatically produces a highlight reel by selecting the superlative clips (e.g., the best clips). This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. | 07-26-2012 |
20120191709 | AUTOMATIC SHARING OF SUPERLATIVE DIGITAL IMAGES - Described herein are techniques related to automatic sharing of superlative digital images. Such techniques include an automatic selection of one or more superlative digital images from a set of digital images based, at least in part, upon weighted criteria regarding properties (e.g., metadata or content) of the digital images. Instead, interested parties (e.g., subscribers and/or persons with an association with a particular image) are notified automatically. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. | 07-26-2012 |
20130286227 | Data Transfer Reduction During Video Broadcasts - The techniques and systems described herein are directed, in part, to interactions between one or more mobile device applications, mobile device modems (or communication hardware), networks, and other devices. In some embodiments, a device may record a video using a camera. The device may then increase a block size of a first portion of a frame in the video to create a modified video where the first portion includes a larger block size than a second portion of the frame of the modified video. The increased block size may reduce an amount of data used to transmit the modified video to another device using the network communication. | 10-31-2013 |
