摘要:
Some embodiments provide methods for use in providing information. These methods comprise: capturing, with one or more cameras of a display device, video along a first direction; detecting an object of interest that is captured in the video; obtaining additional information corresponding to the object of interest; determining an orientation of a user relative to a display of the display device, where the display is oriented opposite to the first direction; determining portions of each of the video images to be displayed based on the determined orientation of the user such that the portions of the video images are configured to appear to the user as though the display device were not positioned between the user and the object of interest; and displaying the portions of video images as they are captured and simultaneously displaying the additional information in cooperation with the object of interest.

Disclosed are approaches for user interface control. In one embodiment, a method can include: indicating a highlight of a first object of a plurality of objects displayed on a display screen; accepting a signal deriving from a first gesture input of a user indicating a neutral position relative to the highlighted first object; accepting a signal deriving from a second gesture input of the user indicating a directional position at least a predetermined distance from the neutral position; and indicating, in response to the second gesture input, a movement of the highlight from the first object to a second object adjacent to the first object, and where the directional position of the second gesture input correlates to a position on the display screen of the second object relative to the first object.
摘要:
An initial vertical drag command input to a GUI of a display having a grid of content information panels causes metadata related to one of the content information panels to be displayed, typically overlaid on an information panel adjacent the selected panel. A subsequent vertical drag command causes enhanced metadata to be displayed in a larger window.

Disclosed in this specification is a medicine container with a flexible flap covering the opening of the container. The opening is closed by the flexible flap when the flexible flap is in a resting position and the opening is opened when the flexible flap is in a flexed position. A hand-operated plunger is equipped with an end configured to mate with the opening such that a seal is established between the plunger and the opening. The plunger is shaped to apply a force to the flexible flap, thereby operating the flexible flap.

When a viewer is automatically recognized by an audio video display device (AVDD) such as a TV using, e.g., a camera, a dialog message is presented on the AVDD indicating that the viewer has been recognized and allowing the viewer to customize AVDD settings by selecting to implement the new viewer's profile, or by combining the new viewer profile with the currently-active profile to create a shared profile, or by ignoring the new viewer altogether.
摘要:
Settings for an audio video display device (AVDD) such as a TV are established by combining settings from multiple individual viewer profiles when viewers of the respective individual profiles are recognized through image recognition as viewing the AVDD.

Disclosed in this specification is a hand-operated dispensing pump for dispensing viscous fluids. The container includes a flexible cap attached to the bottom portion of the container that defines a fluid pumping zone. An elongated tube extends from this zone to a spout that is disposed atop the container. The cap is equipped with at least two one-way valves that selectively permit fluid to pass into the pumping zone when the cap flexes in a first direction and permits fluid to pass out of the pumping zone and out the spout when the cap flexes in a second direction.

Apparatus and methods are provided for holding and tilting an umbrella. The apparatus comprises at least one spring connected to an umbrella pole so that the spring(s) is extended or retracted when the pole angle of the umbrella is adjusted. The apparatus also comprises a pivot between an umbrella holder and a bracket that allows angular motion of the umbrella pole. The apparatus also comprises a rotary bearing capable of rotating around an axis of the umbrella pole. The spring(s) and the pivot can be connected to the rotary bearing. The present apparatus can also include a shade umbrella. Methods for tilting an umbrella are also provided.
