    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention generate estimates of device motion from two data sources on a computing device—a motion sensor and a camera. The device may compare the estimates to each other to determine if they agree. If they agree, the device may confirm that device motion estimates based on the motion sensor are accurate and may output those estimates to an application within the device. If the device motion estimates disagree, the device may alter the motion estimates obtained from the motion sensor before outputting them to the application.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for coding and decoding video data using object recognition and object modeling as a basis of coding and error recovery. A video decoder may decode coded video data received from a channel. The video decoder may perform object recognition on decoded video data obtained therefrom, and, when an object is recognized in the decoded video data, the video decoder may generate a model representing the recognized object. It may store data representing the model locally. The video decoder may communicate the model data to an encoder, which may form a basis of error mitigation and recovery. The video decoder also may monitor deviation patterns in the object model and associated patterns in audio content; if/when video decoding is suspended due to operational errors, the video decoder may generate simulated video data by analyzing audio data received during the suspension period and developing video data from the data model and deviation(s) associated with patterns detected from the audio data.

    Abstract: Computing devices may implement instant video communication connections for video communications. Connection information for mobile computing devices may be maintained. A request to initiate an instant video communication may be received, and if authorized, the connection information for the particular recipient mobile computing device may be accessed. Video communication data may then be sent to the recipient mobile computing device according to the connection information so that the video communication data may be displayed at the recipient device as it is received. New connection information for different mobile computing devices may be added, or updates to existing connection information may also be performed. Connection information for some mobile computing devices may be removed.
