Abstract: Various embodiments enable additional content or features to be displayed to a user in response to detecting one eye of the user being closed either as a wink or for a duration of time. In one example, the additional content is graphical overlay, such as a menu containing selectable graphical elements to perform functions related to an application, game, or content, of global navigational features of the computing device in general, or to alternate views, features, or supplemental content for an application or game currently being displayed on a computing device. In one example, the overlay may be displayed only as long as the user keeps one eye closed or, alternatively, the user could wink to display the overlay and provide some other input to remove the overlay.

Abstract: Approaches are described for generating an audio signal that mimics speech captured a computing device. An input audio signal (e.g., a speech signal) can be transformed from the time domain into another domain, to generate one or more audio signal segments, where each segment can correspond to a window of time. The device can then determine, for each audio signal segment, a feature characteristic of the audio signal, such as a phoneme. Each one of segments can be mapped, based at least in part on the respective feature characteristic, to a model audio signal. The device can then generate an output audio signal including each model audio signal as determined by the mapping, where the output audio signal is in a sequence associated with the input audio signal.

Abstract translation: 描述了用于生成模拟捕获计算设备的语音的音频信号的方法。 可以将输入音频信号（例如，语音信号）从时域变换到另一个域，以产生一个或多个音频信号段，其中每个段可对应于时间窗口。 然后，该设备可以为每个音频信号段确定诸如音素之类的音频信号的特征。 至少部分地基于相应的特征特征将片段中的每一个映射到模型音频信号。 然后，该设备可以生成包括由映射确定的每个模型音频信号的输出音频信号，其中输出音频信号处于与输入音频信号相关联的序列中。
