Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure are related to a method for determining a touch pressure level on a touchscreen, comprising: detecting a touch event by the touchscreen; obtaining data relating to features associated with the touch event comprising a capacitance value, a touch area, and/or a touch duration; and determining a touch pressure level based on one or more of the features.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for adjusting the manner in which haptic feedback is provided to the user based on physical characteristics of the user. Physical characteristics may include stable physical characteristics that are non-changing with respect to a level of physical activity of the user. Examples of such stable physical characteristics may include age, gender, race, visual impairments and/or other physical characteristics. In some embodiments, the mobile device may adjust the haptic feedback by adjusting the intensity of the haptic feedback, frequency of the haptic feedback, duration for which the haptic feedback is provided to the user and changing a type of haptic feedback provided to the user of the device.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for biometric based media data sharing. The method may include initiating, in a first device, biometric data capture of a user based, at least in part, on playback of media data by the first device. The method may also include determining that captured biometric data of the user does not correspond with biometric data associated with an authorized user of the first device. Furthermore, the method may also include in response to a failure to match the captured biometric data by the first device, establishing that the user is an authorized user of a second device based, at least in part, on the captured biometric data. The method may also include sharing the media data with the second device.
Abstract:
Sensor data from a sensor system of a mobile device may be used for determining a level of pressure exerted by a user on the mobile device. The sensor system may include one or more types of sensors, such as a microphone and one or more inertial sensors. The inertial sensors may include one or more gyroscopes and/or accelerometers. Based on the inertial sensor data, it may be determined whether and/or how the mobile device is being held. A process for determining a level of pressure exerted by a user on the mobile device may be adapted based, at least in part, on whether and/or how the mobile device is being held. The pressure-determining process may be adapted according to various other criteria, such as a position of a touch target in a display, ambient noise levels, etc.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure provide for a first device that may establish a wireless docking session with a second device. The first device may determine whether a profile of a second device matches a profile stored in the first device. When such a match exists, the first device may export data to the second device in a format associated with the profile of the second device. When such a match does not exist, the first device may provide an error message or export data to the second device in a format associated with a default profile of the first device. The profile may indicate an operating system, a peripheral component, a display size, a display resolution, a touch screen-capability, a font type, a user setting, a power source or availability, a hardware component, or a software module. Additional aspects, embodiments, and features are also provided herein.
