Abstract: A video display hub is mounted in a common household area such as a kitchen or family room. During times that have been designated as being available for communications, devices in first and second households exchange and display blurred video, allowing users in each household to see vague shapes and movements of the other household. Upon noticing activity, a user in the first household may initiate a video conversation, causing the video from the first household to be unblurred and causing unobscured voice to be transmitted to the second household. A user in the second household may respond by allowing the video conversation to be fully enabled, allowing the video from the second household to be unblurred and unobscured voice to be transmitted back to the first household.

Abstract: A synchronous video communication session may be established between two devices having corresponding device profiles that are symmetrically or asymmetrically whitelisted with respect to each other. A first device located in a first environment may receive user input indicating a request to whitelist a second device located in a second environment. Whitelisting of the second device by the first device may cause a continuous live video stream to be presented on the second device. The continuous video stream may depict at least a portion of the first environment in which the first device is located. The continuous video stream may be initially at least partially obscured. Upon initiation of a video communication session between the first device and the second device, an audio stream may begin to be delivered between the devices and the video stream may no longer be obscured and a clear video image may be presented.

Abstract: Systems and methods for image-based item identification are disclosed. Image data corresponding to one or more images depicting an item may be sent to one or more remote systems for image-based item identification. The identification indications and/or identification confidence scores received from the remote systems may be aggregated and weighted based at least in part on one or more factors related to the remote systems, the results, domains, image capture timing, image capture angles, and/or events to more accurately identify an item depicted in the images.

Abstract: Systems and methods for timer visualization are disclosed. A device, such as a voice-controlled device, may not have means of visually displaying a timer and/or the progression of a timer. The device may send timer data to an accessory device, which may be configured to provide one or more visual indications of the timer set via the device as well as the progression of the timer. Multiple timers may be sent and differing visual indications may be displayed to show the multiple timers and/or attributes associated with the timers, such as the location of the device in an environment, the user profile associated with the setting of the timer, and/or the state of the device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for item recognition and analysis are disclosed. One or more items are recognized utilizing, for example, image data, and a quantity of the one or more items is determined based at least in part on data representing a weight of the items. Nutritional information associated with the items is determined and utilized for one or more purposes, including, for example, nutrition tracking, meal apportionment, label generation, and recipe creation and modification.

Abstract: A device includes a camera and an image processing system. A first identity of a first object represented in a first image is determined. The first image is captured at a first time. A first geographical location of the camera and a second geographical location of the first object are determined at the first time. A second identity of a second object represented in a second image is determined. The second image is captured at a second time. A third geographical location of the camera and a fourth geographical location of the second object is determined at the second time. The first object and the second object are determined to be the same when the first identity matches the second identity and the second geographical location is within a threshold distance of the fourth geographical location. The device generates an output message including information about the first object.

Abstract: A speech-processing system capable of receiving spoken commands from a public or semi-public voice controlled device and determine a user who spoke the command for purposes of both command execution and output data routing. Identity of the user may be determined by various techniques such as facial identification, voice identification and the like. Identification techniques may be biased in view of users nearby to a voice controlled device. Private data resulting from the spoken command may be routed to a personal device of the user where non-private data may be output by the public voice controlled device.

Abstract: Motion sickness resulting from use of a virtual reality headset can be mitigated by displaying a virtual nose in the field of view of the user. Nose data can be obtained by a user selecting various options, or determined dynamically using various image analysis algorithms. Image data captured of the user's face can be data analyzed to determine aspects such as the size, shape, color, texture, and reflectivity of the user's nose. A three-dimensional nose model is generated, which is treated as an object in the virtual world and can have lighting, shadows, and textures applied accordingly. The pupillary distance can be determined from the image data and used to determine the point of view from which to render each nose portion. Changes in lighting or expression can cause the appearance of the nose to change, as well as the level of detail of the rendering.

Abstract: A video display hub is mounted in a common household area such as a kitchen or family room. The display hub is configured to display various types of information for users in the area, such as weather, traffic updates, schedules, notes, messages, lists, news, etc. When the user is at a distance from the display hub, information is presented at a relatively low density, with a low level of granularity and detail in conjunction with large fonts, graphics, and icons. When the user is close to the display hub, information is presented at a relatively high density, with a high level of granularity and detail in conjunction with small fonts, graphics, and icons.
