20130321267 | DYNAMICALLY CHANGING A CHARACTER ASSOCIATED WITH A KEY OF A KEYBOARD - A software keyboard is provided with a dedicated key (dynamic character key) for inputting a character, where the character associated with the key is determined based upon a context and may dynamically change according to the context. For example, a first character may be dynamically determined and associated with the dedicated key for a first context and a second character, possibly different from the first character, may be selected and associated with the dedicated key for a different context. The character that is associated with the dynamic character key may also be displayed on the dynamic character key. In some embodiments, the character associated with the dynamic character key may be a non-alphanumeric character such as a diacritical mark, a punctuation mark, and the like. | 12-05-2013 |
20130332822 | MULTI-WORD AUTOCORRECTION - Methods and systems of multi-word automatic correction (“autocorrect”) are provided. Autocorrect generally can select a corrected word based on a typed word and a dictionary of correctly-spelled words. Multi-word autocorrect can add to this functionality by revisiting the selection of an initial corrected word if a subsequently-typed word indicates that it would be more appropriate to instead select an additional corrected word. In some cases, an autocorrect system can make a multi-word correction based on a multi-word phrase in a dictionary, such as replacing “new york” with “New York” as described above. In other cases, an autocorrect system can make a multi-word correction to correct a mistakenly-typed delimiter character. In other cases, an autocorrect system can use grammar rules to obtain additional context information with each subsequently-typed word and make multi-word corrections on that basis. | 12-12-2013 |

20140278845 | Methods and Systems for Identifying Target Media Content and Determining Supplemental Information about the Target Media Content - Methods and systems for identifying target media content and determining supplemental information about the target media content are provided. In one example, a method includes determining target media content within a media stream, and determining whether the target media content has been previously identified and indexed within a database. The method also includes based on the target media content being unindexed within the database, determining semantic data associated with content of the target media content. The method also includes retrieving from one or more sources supplemental information about the target media content using the semantic data, annotating the target media content with the retrieved information, and storing in the database the annotated target media content associated with the retrieved information. | 09-18-2014 |

20110299185 | MIRROR MOUNTING ASSEMBLY WITH ADAPTER - An interior mounting system for a vehicle includes an interior assembly, a mounting assembly for mounting the interior assembly at a vehicle windshield, a first windshield mounting element adhered to an in-cabin surface of the vehicle windshield, and a second windshield mounting element attached at the in-cabin surface of the vehicle windshield and at or at least partially around the first mounting element. A mounting base of the mounting assembly is configured to engage at least the second mounting element when the mounting base is mounted at the first and second mounting elements at the in-cabin surface of the vehicle windshield. The first and second mounting elements cooperate to support the mounting base and the interior assembly when the first and second mounting elements are adhered to the in-cabin surface of the vehicle windshield and when the mounting base is mounted at the first and second mounting elements. | 12-08-2011 |

20110110557 | Geo-locating an Object from Images or Videos - The present invention discloses a novel method, computer program product, and system for determining a spatial location of a target object from the selection of points in multiple images that correspond to the object location within the images. In one aspect, the method includes collecting location and orientation information of one or more image sensors producing the images; the collected location and orientation information is then used to determine the spatial location of the target object. | 05-12-2011 |

20090276355 | METHOD AND NETWORKED SYSTEM OF INTERACTIVE DEVICES AND SERVICES OFFERED FOR USE AT PARTICIPATING SOCIAL VENUES TO FACILITATE MUTUAL DISCOVERY, SELF-SELECTION, AND INTERACTION AMONG USERS - A system and method for self-selection by pairs of mutually-interested individuals among current or sometime visitors to participating social venues, including interactive client devices provided on a pay-to-use basis at each venue and connected via an external network to servers hosting a secure database storing user information together with software to manage the interactions between devices and database. The method comprises displaying on client devices digital photo and/or other data created by first user for the purpose of self-introduction; allowing second user to respond to first user's displayed self-introduction; and establishing, without requiring the disclosure of any user identity or access information, a link for subsequent communications between those users. Such a link supports several novel methods of convenient-yet-anonymous communications; provides inherent exclusivity, exposing no address or identifier that might be passed to a third party; and verifies prior mutual consent for every interaction. | 11-05-2009 |
