Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention includes a network-accessible compute node, which includes a local storage storing reference images. Each reference image can depict one or more preferences, which can include a quality, a feature, a characteristic, an attribute, a type, and/or a form. Each preference can be associated with a distinctive pattern and a preference criterion. An embodiment includes an optimization module. The optimization module can learn the distinctive patterns from the reference images. The optimization module can also access a remote storage storing images of commodities and use pattern recognition to identify, from the remote storage, one or more images of commodities meeting the preference criterion selected by a user. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Devices and methods for improving viewing perspective of content displayed on the display screen of a computing device include determining one or more viewing angles relative to a viewer of the content, generating a content transformation to apply a corrective distortion to the content to improve the viewing perspective when viewed at the one or more viewing angles, and rendering the content as a function of the content transformation. The viewing angles relative to a viewer of the content may be determined automatically using viewer location sensors, or may be input manually by the viewer. The content transformation visually scales the content by an appropriate factor to compensate for visual distortion experienced by the viewer at one or more viewing angles. Content may be transformed as a function of a single approximate viewing angle or multiple viewing angles.
Abstract:
System and techniques for computer vision assisted item search are described herein. A composite image, including visual data and depth data, may be obtained. The composite image may be filtered to isolate a clothing article represented in the composite image. A classifier may be applied to the depth data to produce a set of clothing attributes for the clothing article. The clothing attributes may then be provided to a remote device.
Abstract:
Generally, this disclosure describes a method and system for authenticating to a network via a device-specific one-time password. A method in an embodiment may include generating a first one-time password (OTP) based at least in part on a plurality of client device attributes; and providing the first OTP to an authenticator associated with a private network during a first session, wherein the authenticator is configured to authenticate the client device to at least one of the private network and protected content included in the private network for a second session following the first session based on the provided first OTP.

Abstract:
Systems and techniques for sensor-derived road hazard detection and reporting are described herein. Sensor data may be obtained from a sensor. The sensor may monitor a vehicle driven by a driver. A road hazard may be determined using the sensor data. A location of the road hazard may be identified. A message including the road hazard and he location of the road hazard may be transmitted for output on a display device of the vehicle.

Abstract:
Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques for detecting one or more inputs on a back side of a housing an determining a pattern based on the detected one or more inputs on the back side of the housing. Once a pattern is determined, a pattern characteristic based on the pattern may be determined and a user may be authenticated based on a comparison of the pattern characteristic and stored data. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of techniques and systems for sharing user information between proximate devices are described. In embodiments, a first device may identify a physically-proximate device that may receive user information. Upon receiving an indication that a user of the first device may desire to share user information with a user of the second device, a determination may be made as to whether the two users have matching interests. In embodiments, the interest match determination may be made by a separate interest match evaluator. Upon determination of an interest match, the first device may then send a request to share user information to the second device. If a user of the second device approves the request, user information for the user of the first device may be shared with the user of the second device. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
In accordance with some embodiments, data may be automatically provided on preordained conditions for specific types of data. Thus specific types of data or specific requestors may be treated differently. The system may be programmed to respond appropriately to requests for certain types of data from certain types of requestors. This offloads the need to review specific requests in many cases and enables an automated system for providing requested data as appropriate.
