    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 present disclosure generally concerns sensor-equipped consumer electronic devices, such as smartphones and tablet computers. One implementation is directed toward a smartphone configured to operate in an image discovery mode. Results from the image discovery mode may be displayed on a smartphones display screen. The smartphone may concurrently operate an audio discovery mode. Results from the audio discovery mode are added to a discovery history, but are not displayed on the smartphone's display screen while operating in the image discovery mode. Of course, many other combinations and implementations are provided as well.

    Abstract: Arrangements involving portable devices (e.g., smartphones and tablet computers) are disclosed. One arrangement includes a smartphone comprising: a touchscreen display; a camera for capturing image data; a microphone for capturing audio data; memory for storing software instructions; and one or more processors programmed with said software instructions. The software instruction cause the processors to: process image data captured by said camera; communicate data associated with the processed image data to a remotely located server; in response to the communication, receive identifying information associated with an object depicted in the image data, the identifying information comprising an image or graphic; cause the touchscreen display to simultaneously display: i) stacked tiles comprising a first tile including an image or graphic, the first tile associated with a first image-recognized object, and a second tile including an image or graphic, the second tile associated with a second image-recognized object; and ii) a viewfinder for displaying live image data captured by the camera while the smartphone remains in an image discovery mode. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.
