Abstract:
Techniques related to balancing audio for mobile devices are discussed. Such techniques may include detecting a speaker of the device is at least partially obstructed, determining an audio output from the device is impeded due to the speaker being at least partially obstructed, and increasing an output from the speaker and/or an alternative speaker based on the audio output from the device being impeded.
Abstract:
Various systems and methods for automatically adjusting audio balance are described herein. A system for automatically adjusting audio balance includes a distance module to determine a distance from an audio speaker to an audience, the audio speaker being one of a plurality of audio speakers, an audio modification module to determine a modification to an audio characteristic of the audio speaker based on the distance, the modification to provide a balanced soundstage for the audience from the plurality of audio speakers, and a control module to apply the modification of the audio characteristic to the audio speaker.
Abstract:
One embodiment provides an apparatus. The apparatus includes a contextual clothing controller. The contextual clothing controller includes clothing selection logic. The clothing selection logic is to identify a clothing article based, at least in part, on a predicted target clothing characteristic. The clothing selection logic is further to determine a location of the identified clothing article in a storage system.
Abstract:
Various systems and methods for providing speech recognition services are described herein. A user device for providing speech recognition services includes a speech module to maintain a speech recognition model of a user of the user device; a user interaction module to detect an initiation of an interaction between the user and a target device; and a transmission module to transmit the speech recognition model to the target device, the target device to use the speech recognition model to enhance a speech recognition process executed by the target device during the interaction between the user and the target device.
Abstract:
Techniques related to a method, apparatus, and system for flexible displays are described herein. For example, an apparatus may include a flexible display and an electroactive layer. Shape changes in the electroactive layer generate shape changes in the flexible display. The shape changes include one or more coil turns configured to coil the flexible display.
Abstract:
Computing devices, computer-readable storage media, and methods associated with human computer interaction. In embodiments, a computing device may include a display, a processor coupled with the display, a user interface engine and one or more applications to be operated on the processor. In embodiments, the user interface engine or the one or more applications may be configured to detect movement of the portable computing device indicating a direction a user of the portable computing device would like a portion of the user interface to move and cause the portion of the user interface to be moved, from a current location on the display to another location on the display, in accordance with the indicated direction. Such movement may facilitate the user to interact with the portion of the user interface via the interaction zone of the display. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract:
Apparatus, systems, and/or methods may involve reporting a road hazard. Road hazard data may be collected for an object on a road, which may include automatically generated data from a device associated with the object causing a hazard. The road hazard data may be provided to a service, an application, a device, a client, and so on. For example, the road hazard data may be merged with a map and provided to a map services client, a navigation client, and so on. An alert may be generated based on the road hazard data to warn of the hazard caused by the object. The alert may include a visual and/or audio representation of the hazard data. The alert may be used to automatically and/or manually avoid the hazard.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed at pairing a host electronic device with a peripheral electronic device using visual recognition and deep learning techniques. In particular, the host device may receive an indication of a peripheral device via a camera or as a result of searching for the peripheral device (e.g., due startup of a related application or periodic scanning). The host device may also receive an image of the peripheral device (e.g., captured via the camera), and determine a visual distance to the peripheral device based on the image. The host device may also determine a signal strength of the peripheral device, and determine a signal distance to the peripheral device based on the signal strength. The host device may pair with the peripheral device if the visual distance and the signal distance are approximately equal.
