    摘要: An electronic device can utilize one or more sensors and/or imaging elements to determine the relative position of at least one light source relative to the device. In various embodiments, occlusions can be used to cause shadows to be cast on certain sensors. By determining the relative position of each occlusion relative to the sensor, the device can determine an approximate direction of the light source. Utilizing the relative position of a light source, the electronic device can properly light or shade a graphical object to be rendered by the device or otherwise process image information captured by the device.

    摘要: Described herein are systems and techniques for detecting a location of a medium and projecting content onto the medium at the detected location. These systems and techniques also track the changing location of the medium while continuing to project the content onto the medium as the location changes. A user consuming the content on the medium is able to move the display medium relative to a projection device that projects the content without interrupting the consumption of the content.

    摘要: A user can provide input to a computing device through various combinations of speech, movement, and/or gestures. A computing device can analyze captured audio data and analyze that data to determine any speech information in the audio data. The computing device can simultaneously capture image or video information which can be used to assist in analyzing the audio information. For example, image information is utilized by the device to determine when someone is speaking, and the movement of the person's lips can be analyzed to assist in determining the words that were spoken. Any gestures or other motions can assist in the determination as well. By combining various types of data to determine user input, the accuracy of a process such as speech recognition can be improved, and the need for lengthy application training processes can be avoided.

    摘要: A computing device can monitor the gaze direction of people around the device to determine whether any unintended viewers are viewing content displayed on the device. A user can activate a privacy mode of the device, such that when an unintended viewer is detected the device can take an appropriate action. In some cases the device can notify the primary user of the device using audible, visual, or tactile alerts. In other cases, the device can modify the display of content such that the unintended viewer is unable to decipher or view the content, or is otherwise notified of the detection.

    摘要: An advertisement service allows advertisers to obtain a right to provide an advertisement to a mobile device that is located within or nearby a particular geographic region. For instance, the advertisement service may map one or more entities (e.g., retailers, schools, museums, etc.) to a geographic region at which these entities are located. The advertisement service provides an offer to one or more advertisers to provide an advertisement to a mobile device located within or nearby one of these geographic regions. Based on responses received to the offer, the advertisement service provides information to the mobile device for display of an advertisement.

    摘要: Architectures and techniques are configured to distribute and activate payment cards. The techniques include providing payment cards to distributors, who then sell or distribute these cards to other users. Each of these payment cards may include activation information for activating the card as well as redemption information for redeeming a value associated with the card. The distributor may activate a card by, for instance, taking a picture of or scanning an identifier on the card and sending this image to a provider of the card. In response, the provider may activate the card.

    摘要: A voice interaction architecture that compiles multiple audio signals captured at different locations within an environment, determines a time offset between a primary audio signal and other captured audio signals and identifies differences between the primary signal and the other signal(s). Thereafter, the architecture may provide the primary audio signal, an indication of the determined time offset(s) and the identified differences to remote computing resources for further processing. For instance, the architecture may send this information to a network-accessible distributed computing platform that performs beamforming and/or automatic speech recognition (ASR) on the received audio. The distributed computing platform may in turn determine a response to provide based upon the beamforming and/or ASR.
