    Abstract: Arrangements involving portable devices (e.g., smartphones and tablet computers) are disclosed. One arrangement enables a content creator to select software with which that creator's content should be rendered—assuring continuity between artistic intention and delivery. Another utilizes a device camera to identify nearby subjects, and take actions based thereon. Others rely on near field chip (RFID) identification of objects, or on identification of audio streams (e.g., music, voice). Some technologies concern improvements to the user interfaces associated with such devices. For example, some arrangements enable discovery of both audio and visual content, without any user requirement to switch modes. Other technologies involve use of these devices in connection with shopping, text entry, and vision-based discovery. Still other improvements are architectural in nature, e.g., relating to evidence-based state machines, and blackboard systems. Yet other technologies concern computational photography. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to accessing computer resources by sensing audio with a microphone. One claim recites a method comprising: obtaining data in a first user's cell phone, the data corresponding to microphone-captured audio; responsive to the data, the first user's cell phone receiving a service provided by a first party, the service comprising facilitating access to a computer resource over a network; in which the first user does not provide a fee to the first party for the service, as the first party bills a charge connected with the service to a sponsoring party. Of course, other claims and combinations are provided as well.

    Abstract translation: 本公开涉及通过用麦克风感测音频来访问计算机资源。 一个权利要求描述了一种方法,包括:在第一用户的手机中获得数据,对应于麦克风捕获的音频的数据; 响应于所述数据,所述第一用户的手机接收由第一方提供的服务,所述服务包括促进通过网络访问计算机资源; 其中第一用户不向该服务的第一方提供费用,因为第一方将与该服务相关的费用向赞助方进行帐单。 当然,也提供其他权利要求和组合。

    Abstract: A decade from now, a visit to the supermarket will be a very different experience than the familiar experiences of decades past. Product packaging will come alive with interactivity—each object a portal into a rich tapestry of experiences, with contributions authored by the product brand, by the store selling the product, and by other shoppers. The present technology concerns arrangements for authoring and delivering such experiences. A great variety of other features and technologies are also detailed.

    Abstract: Self-checkout technologies for retail stores are improved by incorporation of enhanced fraud detection arrangements. For example, if a shopper enters an item on a self-checkout tally, while positioned at a location remote from the normal stock location for that item, a responsive action may be taken. Likewise, if a shopper enters the same item on a self-checkout tally twice, at widely separated times, a responsive action may be taken. These responsive actions can include dispatching a store clerk to assist the shopper, or increasing a risk score that is repeatedly re-calculated during the shopper's visit. A great variety of other features and arrangements (e.g., powering arrangements for mobile phones in shopping carts) are also detailed.
