    摘要: A method for responding in an augmented reality (AR) application of a mobile device to an external sound is disclosed. The mobile device detects a target. A virtual object is initiated in the AR application. Further, the external sound is received, by at least one sound sensor of the mobile device, from a sound source. Geometric information between the sound source and the target is determined, and at least one response for the virtual object to perform in the AR application is generated based on the geometric information.

    摘要: A sleep monitoring application is installed on a mobile device. The mobile device is placed in a location when a user sleeps and records environmental sound. The sleep monitoring application determines indicators of sleep activity such as breathing sounds made by the user, and determines a sleep state of the user based on the indicators of sleep activity. Sleep disorders can be detected from the indicators of sleep activity. The sleep monitoring application may generate a report that summarizes the user's sleep states and alerts the user to any sleep disorders. The sleep monitoring application can use the environmental sound and the determined sleep states to determine ambient sound that is associated with good sleep. Later, if the sleep application determines the user is having problems sleeping, the sleep monitoring application can play the determined ambient sound to help the user sleep.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention describe methods and apparatus for performing context-sensitive OCR. A device obtains an image using a camera coupled to the device. The device identifies a portion of the image comprising a graphical object. The device infers a context associated with the image and selects a group of graphical objects based on the context associated with the image. Improved OCR results are generated using the group of graphical objects. Input from various sensors including microphone, GPS, and camera, along with user inputs including voice, touch, and user usage patterns may be used in inferring the user context and selecting dictionaries that are most relevant to the inferred contexts.

    摘要: A method of scanning an image of a document with a portable electronic device includes interactively indicating in substantially real time on a user interface of the portable electronic device, an instruction for capturing at least one portion of an image to enhance quality. The indication is in response to identifying degradation associated with the portion(s) of the image. The method also includes capturing the portion(s) of the image with the portable electronic device according to the instruction. The method further includes stitching the captured portion(s) of the image in place of a degraded portion of a reference image corresponding to the document, to create a corrected stitched image of the document.

    摘要: Estimating a location of a mobile device is performed by comparing environmental information, such as environmental sound, associated with the mobile device with that of other devices to determine if the environmental information is similar enough to conclude that the mobile device is in a comparable location as another device. The devices may be in comparable locations in that they are in geographically similar locations (e.g., same store, same street, same city, etc.). The devices may be in comparable locations even though they are located in geographically dissimilar locations because the environmental information of the two locations demonstrates that the devices are in the same perceived location. With knowledge that the devices are in comparable locations, and with knowledge of the location of one of the devices, certain actions, such as targeted advertising, may be taken with respect to another device that is within a comparable location.

    摘要: A method for providing information for a conference at one or more locations is disclosed. One or more mobile devices monitor one or more starting requirements of the conference and transmit input sound information to a server when the one or more starting requirements of the conference is detected. The one or more starting requirements may include a starting time of the conference, a location of the conference, and/or acoustic characteristics of a conference environment. The server generates conference information based on the input sound information from each mobile device and transmits the conference information to each mobile device. The conference information may include information on attendees, a current speaker among the attendees, an arrangement of the attendees, and/or a meeting log of attendee participation at the conference.
