    摘要: Photographic context assistance is provided by overlaying a composition grid selected by the user or by a machine learning algorithm onto the image of a viewfinder of a camera, and then providing audible and/or visual cues as to moving the aim point to better conform the image to the grid. Fine tuning may be effected using, for instance, stabilization hardware to gently adjust the view to better conform the image to the grid before snapping a shot.

    摘要: Implementations generally relate to a message system. In some implementations, a method includes detecting activation of a screen saver that is displayed on a user interface associated with a television platform. The method further includes determining one or more messages to be displayed on the user interface in response to the detecting of the activation of the screen saver. The method further includes displaying the one or more messages on the user interface based on one or more predetermined policies. The method further includes removing the one or more messages from the user interface based on the one or more predetermined policies.

    摘要: An information processing device includes circuitry that receives a user-input for selection of one of a visual accessibility feature and an aural accessibility feature and further receives a first audio segment from an audio capturing device at a live event. The first audio segment includes a first audio portion of the audio content and a first audio closed caption (CC) information. The circuitry controls display of first text information for the first audio portion and second text information for the first audio CC information, based on received user-input for the selection of the visual accessibility feature. The circuitry generates a second audio segment from the first audio segment based on a first audio characteristic of the first audio segment. The circuitry controls a playback of the generated second audio segment, based on the received user-input for the selection of the aural accessibility feature.

    摘要: Implementations generally relate to a message system. In some implementations, a method includes detecting a selection of a button on a user interface associated with a television platform. The method further includes executing at least one predetermined function associated with the button. The method further includes providing a message on the television platform based on one or more predetermined policies.

    摘要: An application on a mobile phone or tablet computer or eyeglasses listens to the speech of a profoundly deaf person and interprets it in real time. The voice recognition can be trained to the voice of the profoundly deaf person. A display such as a small tablet display which can be hung around the speaker's neck can present text output by the voice recognition module to allow someone to read the text. The application can then detect speech from the listener and display text converted from the speech to the deaf person through glasses or to a cell phone that is being held by hand or to the tablet, or to a different tablet that the previous listener has hung around his or her neck. In case of the same tablet the text from the listener's speech can be shown upside down so that the deaf person can look down and read the text. Thus, the top of the tablet presents text from speech of the deaf person in the up position, and the bottom portion of the tablet presents text from speech of the listener upside down, to be read by the deaf person.

    摘要: A photograph is processed using signal image comparison to determine whether it is a substantial duplicate of another photo. The camera alerts the user when the photo just obtained is very similar to one that was previously taken, and then based on camera settings either offers to delete the picture from the camera's memory for the user or deletes automatically. The camera may determine whether two photos are nearly identical by a pixel by pixel comparison.

    摘要: Content substitution and/or picture-in-picture technology is used to provide a sign language window that provides a sign language interpretation of audio content in main program audio/video content. The sign language window can be selectively disabled by a user that does not wish to view the sign language video. Also, in some implementations, the user can move the sign language window to a desired location on the display. The desired location may be one of a plurality of pre-defined display locations. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this abstract.
