20120127069 | Input Panel on a Display Device - A device including a sensor to detect a holding position of a user of the device, an orientation sensor to detect an orientation of the device, and a controller to render an input panel on at least one location of a display device based on the holding position of the user and the orientation of the device. | 05-24-2012 |
20130074073 | VIRTUAL MACHINE - A portable computing system can include a first virtue machine. The portable computing system can connect to a computing system. The computing system can access the virtual machine on the portable computing system. | 03-21-2013 |
20130195322 | SELECTION OF TARGETED CONTENT BASED ON CONTENT CRITERIA AND A PROFILE OF USERS OF A DISPLAY - Systems and methods for selecting targeted content are provided. An image is determined, and a set of faces in the image are also determined. Each face corresponds with a user of a display. A characteristic profile of the set of faces in the image is determined. The characteristic profile is compared to targeting criteria associated with a multimedia content item, to generate a comparison result. A multimedia content item of a plurality of multimedia content items is selected, based on the comparison result. | 08-01-2013 |
20130198006 | PROVIDING TARGETED CONTENT FOR MULTIPLE USERS - Systems and methods for providing content are described. An image and a set of faces in the image are determined. Each face in the set of laces corresponds with a user of a display screen. For each face in the set, an identifier is determined, content targeted for the face is selected, a location of the face within the image is determined, and using the face location, a location on the display screen for providing a visualization of the targeted content is determined. | 08-01-2013 |
20130286039 | SMOOTHED VISUALIZATION HAVING RINGS CONTAINING PIXELS REPRESENTING UNEVENLY SPACED DATA - Unevenly spaced data records are received over time. A smoothed graphical visualization has a plurality of discrete rings to allow for detection of periodical patterns in the data records, where the discrete rings correspond to plural time periods and contain pixels representing values of an attribute of the data records. Visual indicators are assigned to the corresponding pixels, where a first of a visual indicators for a first time interval that is missing a data record is based on aggregating values of the attribute of neighboring data records, and where a second of the visual indicators for a second time interval having multiple data records is based on aggregating values of the attribute of the multiple data records. | 10-31-2013 |
20130290994 | SELECTION OF TARGETED CONTENT BASED ON USER REACTIONS TO CONTENT - Techniques for selecting a targeted content item for playback are described in various implementations. A method that implements the techniques may include receiving, from an image capture device, an image that includes a user who is viewing a first content item being displayed on a presentation device. The method may also include processing the image to identify a facial expression of the user, and determining an indication of user reaction to the first content item based on the identified facial expression of the user. The method may further include comparing the indication of user reaction to an indication of intended reaction associated with the first content item to determine an efficacy value of the first content item. The method may also include selecting a targeted content item for playback on the presentation device based on the efficacy value. | 10-31-2013 |
20140035814 | ADJUSTING SETTINGS OF A PRESENTATION SYSTEM - Techniques for adjusting settings of a presentation system are described in various implementations. A method that implements the techniques may include receiving, at a computer system and from an image capture device, an image that depicts a viewing area proximate to the presentation system. The method may also include processing the image, using the computer system, to determine whether a viewer is present in the viewing area. The method may also include, in response to determining that a viewer is present in the viewing area, processing the image, using the computer system, to determine an ambient lighting value associated with the viewing area and to determine a distance from the presentation system to the viewer. The method may also include adjusting a presentation setting of the presentation system based on the ambient lighting value and the distance. | 02-06-2014 |
20140085180 | SELECTING AN INTERACTION SCENARIO BASED ON AN OBJECT - Techniques for selecting an interaction scenario based on an object are described in various implementations. A method that implements the techniques may include receiving, at a computer system and from an image capture device, an image that depicts a viewing area proximate to a presentation device. The method may also include processing the image, using the computer system, to detect a user in the viewing area presenting an object in a manner that indicates desired interaction with the presentation device. The method may also include selecting, using the computer system, an interaction scenario for presentation on the presentation device based on the object. | 03-27-2014 |
20140122716 | VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL - According to an example, a method for virtual private network (VPN) access control includes receiving a request from an application on a user device to access a remote computer network asset, and determining, by a processor, an authorization of the application to access the remote computer network asset based on a policy. In response to a determination that the application is authorized to access the remote computer network asset, the method includes setting a VPN connection between the user device and a remote computer network including the remote computer network asset, and routing traffic from the application to the remote computer network asset via the VPN. In response to a determination that the application is not authorized to access the remote computer network asset, the method includes routing traffic from the application to a network different than the remote computer network. | 05-01-2014 |
20140267290 | Visual Analytics of Multivariate Session Data Using Concentric Rings with Overlapping Periods - Visual analytics for multivariate session data using concentric rings with overlapping periods includes displaying an interactive graph in a display. The interactive graph includes at least a portion of multiple concentric rings where each one of at least some of the multiple concentric rings represents periodic time units. At least some of the multiple concentric rings are divided into cells where the cells represent smaller time periods than the time units. A color of each of the cells represents a value of a metric. Also, an overlapping period ring displayed with the multiple concentric rings where the overlapping period ring comprises segments that represent overlapping metrics from the cells of the concentric rings that correspond with the segments. | 09-18-2014 |
