摘要： A haptic feedback planar touch control used to provide input to a computer. A touch input device includes a planar touch surface that inputs a position signal to a processor of the computer based on a location of user contact on the touch surface. The computer can position a cursor in a displayed graphical environment based at least in part on the position signal, or perform a different function. At least one actuator is also coupled to the touch input device and outputs a force to provide a haptic sensation to the user contacting the touch surface. The touch input device can be a touchpad separate from the computer's display screen, or can be a touch screen. Output haptic sensations on the touch input device can include pulses, vibrations, and spatial textures. The touch input device can include multiple different regions to control different computer functions.

摘要： Methods and Apparatus for enabling groups of patrons of localized physical establishments, such as restaurants and retail stores, to collaboratively select the sequence of musical media for public play. Some embodiments comprise receiving, at a centralized media server, a plurality of media request over a network from a plurality of separate personal portable computing devices, such as mobile phones. Each media request may comprise a media identifier, an establishment identifier and a customer identifier. In response to receiving such media requests, the centralized media server updates a listing of media files pending for play within a localized physical establishment associated with the establishment identifier. The centralized server also provides messaging functions, returning information to the portable computing devices of participating patrons, the information including for example, textual song dedications, song title and artist information, playlist lengths, and song popularity information.

摘要： A system provides a first person video depiction of a planned travel route from a designated start location to a designated destination location in response to a user's travel planning request. A user interface receives a start location and a destination location for the travel route from a user. A routing component plans the travel route based between the start location and the destination location. A first person image database stores still images associated with locations between the start location and the destination location. The still images display first-person photographic imagery in a driving direction of the travel route. A video generator generates high-speed video media depicting at least a portion of the travel route from the start location to the destination location along a planned travel path. The video media is generated by sequencing a series of the still images associated with locations between the start location and the destination location. A display monitor displays the high-speed video media to the user.

摘要： An apparatus, method and computer program product are provided which establishes a shake jamming portable media player in which a user can listen to a playing musical media file while simultaneously incorporating audio representations of percussion instrument sounds into an audio output stream by physically shaking the portable media player. In response to the physical shaking, the portable media player generates percussion audio signals which are mixed with an audio signal stream of a currently playing musical media file and output to the user. The shake jamming portable media player includes a processor, a memory functionally coupled to the processor, a motion sensor functionally coupled to the processor and configured to detect manual shaking motions imparted by a user on the portable media player, an instrument accompaniment program operatively loadable into the memory which includes instructions executable by the processor to cause a musical media file to be accessed from the memory and be currently played; identify a characteristic shake event from the detected manual shaking motions; generate an audio representation of an audio signal representing a striking or shaking sound of a percussion instrument in dependence on the identified characteristic shake event; mix the generated audio representation of the audio signal with an audio signal stream of the currently playing musical media file and output a resulting audio mixture to the user in near real-time relative to the identified characteristic shake event.

摘要： A portable media player has a gaze-responsive power conservation feature. The portable media player includes a casing, processor, visual display, audio display, main memory functionally coupled to the processor, and secondary memory functionally coupled to the processor, where the secondary memory has media content retrievably stored therein. A gaze sensor transmits signals to the processor responsive to a gaze of a user. A program has instructions executable by the processor to: (a) present media content to a user by displaying visual content on the visual display and by playing audio content through the audio display; and (b) reduce power consumption of the visual display by lowering an intensity of display output when the gaze sensor indicates the user is not gazing in the general direction of the visual display, while continuing to play audio content to the user through the audio display at a substantially unchanged power level.

摘要： A portable media player has an orientation-responsive power conservation feature. The portable media player includes a casing, processor, visual display, audio display, main memory functionally coupled to the processor, and a secondary memory functionally coupled to the processor. Media content is retrievably stored in the second memory. An orientation sensor transmits signals to the processor responsive to a spatial orientation of the casing with respect to gravity. A program has instructions executable by the processor to: (a) present media content to a user by displaying visual content on the visual display and playing audio content through the audio display; and (b) reduce power consumption of the visual display by lowering an intensity of display output when the orientation sensor indicates the spatial orientation of the casing is within certain boundaries, for example inverted with respect to gravity, while continuing to play audio content normally through the audio display.

摘要： A computer-based educational tool is provided to enable children to more easily learn the visual representations of letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and words, by drawing upon their existing verbal knowledge. More specifically, a child is allowed to utter the name of a letter, number, shape, color, or word and have the corresponding visual representation of that letter, number, shape, color, or word be displayed visually upon a screen in response to his or her verbal utterance. Speech recognition tools and techniques are utilized for capturing and recognizing the verbal utterances of the child. Unique visual and aural display methods is utilized for presenting content to the child in developmentally beneficial ways.

摘要： A design interface tool for designing force sensations for use with a host computer and haptic feedback interface device. A haptic feedback device communicates with a host computer that displays the interface tool. The user selects and characterizes force sensations using the interface tool, and a graphical representation of the characterized force sensation is displayed. The characterized force sensation is output to a user manipulatable object of the force feedback device so that the user can feel the designed force sensation The user can include multiple force sensations in a compound force sensation, where the compound sensation is graphically displayed to indicate the relative start times and duration of each of the force sensations. The user can also associate a sound with the force sensation, such that the sound is output in conjunction with the output of the force sensation.
