摘要:
A computer-based assisted parking system and method for parking a vehicle into a parking space includes at least one sensor arranged to sense a position of the vehicle to be parked in a predetermined area adjacent the vehicle; a sensing system for at least two-dimensional reconstruction of feedback received from the one sensor; a path planning system for determining whether positions of other vehicles adjacent the parking space provide sufficient clearance for the vehicle to be parked and providing a planned path indicating how the vehicle to be parked will be maneuvered; a control system for controlling maneuvering of the vehicle to be parked based on the planned path determined by the path planning system, and the control system controls vehicle steering, direction, speed, and application of brakes, so that the vehicle to be parked is maneuvered into the parking space. Alternatively, directions may be given as the vehicle is parked under the control of the driver.

The telephone memory aid provides a database to a primary party for storing and retrieving personal information about a secondary party, including summary information related to communication exchanges between the primary and secondary parties. The summary information includes, for example, the date and time of prior telephone calls and the topics discussed. This secondary party information, including the summaries of prior telephone calls, is available for review by the primary party during future phone calls with the secondary party. The telephone memory aid also facilitates entry of information into the database through speech recognition algorithms and through question and answer sessions with the primary and secondary parties.
摘要:
Cameras and image processing techniques are applied to the control of HVAC systems. Occupancy is detected using head-counting or motion detection. Activities are recognized in images and image sequences by machine-recognition techniques. The nature of activities, the intensity of activities, the number of occupants and their activities, etc. are all inferred from images and image sequences and used to predict current loads and/or required control signals for regulating an HVAC system.
摘要:
A security monitoring system including one or more cameras for monitoring a path of an individual, a recorder for recording the monitoring of the individual, trajectory analyzer for computing a trajectory of the path of the individual from the recorded monitoring, comparator for comparing the trajectory against known trajectories, and an alarm system for transmitting an alarm signal if the trajectory does not match one of the known trajectories. Further, the system may include a database for storing image data for each authorized individual of the structure and a recognition system for comparing images of the individual from the one or more cameras with the stored image data in the database. The alarm system transmits the alarm signal if the trajectory does not match one of the known trajectories and the individual is an authorized individual or if the individual is not an authorized individual.
摘要:
A system for monitoring a driver's attention to driving a vehicle includes a camera having a field of view wherein a driver's face is positioned in the field of view of the camera. The system also includes a gaze and facial pose determiner coupled to the camera which receives signals corresponding to images of the driver's face for analysis. The gaze and facial pose determiner determines whether the gaze and facial pose of the driver are oriented in a forward direction of travel of the vehicle. The system also includes an alarm responsive to the gaze and facial pose determiner for advising the driver that his gaze and facial pose are not oriented in the forward direction of travel of the vehicle.

In customizing a user profile employed by a recommendation system, users are prompted for feedback regarding content that is the subject of the recommendation system. Only feedback that does not degrade performance of the recommendation system, as measured by the error rate, is accepted and utilized to modify the user profile. Feedback that would degrade performance is discarded without being employed to alter the user profile. In this manner, error is continually driven toward a minimum by system changes based on feedback.

Extracting and processing video content encoded in a rendered color space to be emulated by an ambient light source, comprising extracting color information from a video signal and transforming the color information through unrendered color space using tristprimary matrices to form a second rendered color space to drive the ambient light source. Video signal decoding into frames can allow extracting average or other color information from an selected screen regions to reduce bitstream load, and negative gamma correction helps prevent garish or inappropriate chromaticities and luminance.
摘要:
A system to autonomously authorize billing for a subscription plan for a user using data including available subscription services, a user profile, and a user supplied criteria for subscription service selection such as a spending limit related to the available subscription services. In one embodiment, the present invention may rate the available subscription services in accordance with the user profile and may then select a given number of high rated subscription services for the subscription plan. The user profile may be updated to reflect changes in a user's preference. The subscribed content may be provided to the user as a personal television channel.
摘要:
A program recommender (300) that receives one or more starring actor data fields for a program. The recommender adjusts one or more of the received starring actor data fields (600) by utilizing a source separate from the received starring actor data fields to identify one or more starring actors in the program. The adjusted data fields may be made available for use in creating a viewer profile (400), or alternatively may be made available for determining a recommendation (330) for the program.
