20110050719 | DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT - Embodiments of the present invention can receive a data point defining an ambient light level associated with a display and a corresponding brightness adjustment of the display with respect to a reference brightness. The embodiments can then define a brightness response model for the display based on the data point and at least one additional data point. | 03-03-2011 |
20110096048 | DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT - Embodiments of the present invention can receive a data point defining an ambient light level associated with a display and a corresponding brightness adjustment of the display with respect to a reference brightness. The embodiments can then define a brightness response model for the display based on the data point and at least one additional data point. | 04-28-2011 |
20110205148 | Facial Tracking Electronic Reader - Facial actuations, such as eye actuations, may be used to detect user inputs to control the display of text. For example, in connection with an electronic book reader, facial actuations and, particularly, eye actuations, can be interpreted to indicate when the turn a page, when to provide a pronunciation of a word, when to provide a definition of a word, and when to mark a spot in the text, as examples. | 08-25-2011 |
20110207504 | Interactive Projected Displays - A projection device may project an image on a display surface. Another projection device may then project an image that appears to interact with the image projected by the first device. A camera in one of the devices may record the interaction. The interaction may be analyzed to implement game play or user selections in general. Communications between the two devices may be established by a network communication protocol. | 08-25-2011 |
20120249587 | KEYBOARD AVATAR FOR HEADS UP DISPLAY (HUD) - In some embodiments, the invention involves using a heads up display (HUD) or head mounted display (HMD) to view a representation of a user's fingers with an input device communicatively connected to a computing device. The keyboard/finger representation is displayed along with the application display received from a computing device. In an embodiment, the input device has an accelerometer to detect tilting movement in the input device, and send this information to the computing device. An embodiment provides visual feedback of key or control actuation in the HUD/HMD display. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 10-04-2012 |
20140095069 | INTELLIGENT ROUTE PLANNING - The present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods and systems for intelligent route planning. An example method may include receiving, by a computation system comprising one or more processors, one or more tasks. The one or more tasks may be associated with one or more locations. The method may further include storing, by the computation system, the one or more tasks. The method may further include receiving, by the computation system, current location information associated with a user. The method may further include generating, by the computation system, based upon the one or more tasks and the current location information, one or more notifications associated with at least one task for presentation to the user. | 04-03-2014 |
20140095272 | Systems and Methods for Generation of Incentive Offers for On-Road Users - Systems and methods for generating incentive offers for road use are provider. Incentive offers may be generated by a service provider server. The incentive offers may be generated b identifying, by the computer having at least one processor, at least one use-condition associated with a transit point based at least in part on historical transit data. The generating the incentive offers may include generating one or more offers for a plurality of toll collections passes configured to enable the at least one use-condition associated with the transit point. Further, the method may provide for facilitating a distribution for the one or more incentive offers to a use group. | 04-03-2014 |
20140126877 | Controlling Audio Visual Content Based on Biofeedback - Biofeedback, including cognitive feedback, may be used to provide real time information about a viewer's reaction to an ongoing playback of audio visual content. Cognitive feedback provides electronic feedback related to brain activity. Biofeedback involves using sensed human characteristics to judge a user's reaction to audio visual content. | 05-08-2014 |
20140189854 | TECHNIQUES FOR SKIN TONE ACTIVATION - Techniques may be used to authenticate a user to a computing device using their skin tone. A color sample may be received while a computing device remains in a power saving state. A user may be authenticated when the color sample matches a skin tone record. The computing device may be placed in an active state when the user is authenticated. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 07-03-2014 |
20140267231 | TECHNIQUES TO IMPROVE VIEWING COMFORT FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONTENT - Techniques to improve viewing comfort for three-dimensional (3D) content are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a processor circuit and a 3D graphics management module, and the 3D graphics management module may be operable by the processor circuit to generate first 3D graphics information corresponding to a 3D warm-up sequence for presentation by a 3D display, transmit the first 3D graphics information, and transmit second 3D graphics information corresponding to 3D content for presentation by the 3D display. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 09-18-2014 |
