摘要:
A system may include a set-top box, associated with a customer premises, configured to receive a television signal and provide the television signal to a television and a home monitoring device configured to obtain a weather forecast for a geographic area associated with the customer premises, determine a thermostat setting for the customer premises based on the obtained weather forecast, and provide a recommendation about the determined thermostat setting to the set-top box. The set-top box may be further configured to present the recommendation about the determined thermostat setting via the television; receive a selection of the determined thermostat setting; and provide an indication of the selection to the home monitoring device; and the home monitoring device may be further configured to apply the determined thermostat setting to a thermostat controller associated with the customer premises, in response to receiving the indication from the set-top box.

A system may include a set-top box configured to receive a television signal and provide the television signal to a media playing device, and a home monitoring device configured to obtain a video recording using a security camera, provide the video recording to a media manager device across a network, and provide information about the video recording to the set-top box. The set-top box may be further configured to provide the information about the video recording upon activation of the set-top box by a customer, receive a request to view the video recording from the customer, retrieve the video recording from the media manager device, and provide the video recording to a media playing device.

An interface controller may control the way a function is presented for selection by a user interface in an electronic device. The interface controller may include a usage detection system configured to detect the way in which the electronic device is being or has been used. The interface controller may also include a presentation controller configured to automatically change the way in which the function is presented for selection by the user interface based on the way in which the usage detection system detects the electronic device is being or has been used.

A device may receive a message from another device. The message may include a request to capture a reaction of a user when the message is displayed. The device may further cause the received message to be displayed, and cause, based on the request, at least one of a video, a picture, or an audio of the user to be captured while the received message is being displayed.
摘要:
A set of user content items, such as a set of photographs or audio or video recordings, is used to identify recommended locations. Each item of user content in the set includes a geographical identifier and a time-stamp indicative of the location and time of origin of the item. The items of user content are placed in time-order, and a route is determined that links, in time-order, the locations identified by the geographical identifiers. A recommended location is then identified, from a database of recommended locations, that is located near the determined route but is not geographically coincident with the locations of any of the items of user content. Information for a map containing the route and an illustration of the identified location are sent to a terminal device for presentation to a user.

摘要:
Methods and related systems are presented that relate to establishing communications among individuals connected through social networking services. To obtain the contact information of an encountered connection, a person may take a photo of the connection and provide information indicating how he/she knows the connection. Using the provided information, a subset of the person's connections in the social networking services that he/she belongs to is selected. The photos included in the profiles of the connections in the selected subset are searched and a profile that includes an image with features matching the features of the obtained image is selected. Once a match is found, personal information of the connection is obtained from his/her profile and transmitted to the person. The individuals can establish connection using the obtained personal information.
