摘要： Various embodiments of the present invention include a grazing routine that selects data objects from a data-object library or database based on selection-criterion values associated with each data object and provides the data objects to a presentation routine that uses the data objects to continuously update a data-object presentation. User input directs subsequent data-object selection by the grazing routine to allow users to intuitively navigate and search a large data-object library in order to locate one or a set of particular data objects. Users can input selection commands to specific presented data-objects in order to focus subsequent data-object selection and data-object presentation to increasingly smaller sub-populations of data objects. In the absence of user input, the sub-population of data objects from which data objects are selected for presentation may be increased.

摘要： Various method and system embodiments of the present invention are directed to computational estimation of a tempo for a digitally encoded musical selection. In certain embodiments of the present invention, described below, a short portion of a musical selection is analyzed to determine the tempo of the musical selection. The digitally encoded musical selection sample is computationally transformed to produce a power spectrum corresponding to the sample, in turn transformed to produce a two-dimensional strength-of-onset matrix. The two-dimensional strength-of-onset matrix is then transformed into a set of strength-of-onset/time functions for each of a corresponding set of frequency bands. The strength-of-onset/time functions are then analyzed to find a most reliable onset interval that is transformed into an estimated tempo returned by the analysis.

摘要： Methods and systems for using portable electronic devices in video conferences are disclosed. In one aspect, a method receives each remote participant's audio data stream and at least one video stream over a network and arranges the video streams in a data structure that describes the location of each video stream's associated viewing area within a virtual meeting space. The method blends audio streams into a combined audio of the remote participants. The method presents at least one viewing area on the portable device display to be viewed by the local participant, and changes the at least one viewing area to be presented on the portable device display based on cues provided by the operator.

摘要： At least one camera lens captures a field of view comprising at least one object of interest, wherein the at least one camera lens is configured for extending the field of view in at least one direction. The at least one object of interest that is within said field of view is detected. Then, an image of a detected at least one object of interest is warped to fit within the field of view. A plurality of pixels surrounding the image of the detected at least one object of interest within the field of view is cropped such that, based on the warping and the cropping, the detected at least one object appears as centered within the field of view.
