Abstract:
A computing device may be configured to authenticate a user for access control, and may include at least one ground electrode configured for contact with a user, an impedance sensor coupled to the least one ground electrode, where the impedance sensor may be configured to perform a measurement based on a touch input from the user, a memory which stores instructions, and a processor, coupled the impedance sensor and the memory, where the processor may be configured to execute the instructions. The instructions may cause the processor to: receive the touch input from the user, receive an impedance value based on the touch input measured by the impedance sensor, and determine whether the received impedance value corresponds to at least one stored impedance value associated with a user profile.
Abstract:
A user device, such as a smart phone or an augmented reality glasses, receives data to be displayed to a first user, and the user device determines whether the first user is engaged in a social interaction with a second user. The user device presents the data for display to the first user when the first user and the second user are not engaged in the social interaction. For example, the user device may determine whether the second user is turned toward the first user for a threshold amount of time. When the first user is engaged in the social interaction with the second user, the user device withholds the data, determines a break in the social interaction, and presents the data to the first user during the break. The user device may modify the displayed data based on the duration of the break.

Abstract:
A lifelog camera is configured to capture a digital image without user input that commands the capturing of the digital image. The lifelog camera includes a control circuit configured to detect a state transition in a signal from a sensor, the state transition indicative of a change in user activity; a camera module that captures the digital image under the control of the control circuit in response to the detection of the state transition; and a memory in which the digital image is stored.
