    Abstract: An apparatus to perform fast data access comprises a receiver, a processor, and a memory. The processor receives using the receiver a light signal from a light source. The light signal can be structured to generate a temporal code. The light source is an optical beacon that includes a Light-Emitting Diode (LED). The processor then decodes the light signal to generate a network address, and causes a display of a client device coupled to the apparatus to display information based on the network address. The network address can be a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address and the information based on the network address includes a webpage associated with the URL. Other embodiments are described herein.

    Abstract: An apparatus with a selector input device to transmit an audio signal comprises a microphone, a communication interface, and a selector input device. The apparatus can also comprise a processor and a memory having instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising detecting an activation of the selector input device. In response to detecting the activation, the processor captures the audio signal via the microphone and transmits the audio signal via the communication interface to a first client device. Other embodiments are described herein.

    Abstract: A client device processing received emoji messages using emoji-first messaging. Text messaging is automatically converted to emojis by an emoji-first application so that only emojis are communicated from one client device to another client device. Each client device has a library of emojis that are mapped to words, which libraries are customizable and unique to the users of the client devices, such that the users can communicate secretly in code. Upon receipt of a string of emojis, a user can select the emoji string to convert to text if desired, for a predetermined period of time.

    Abstract: An apparatus to perform functions on media content items comprises a camera, a communication interface, and a selector input device. The selector input device is communicatively coupled to the camera and the communication interface and has a function setting. In response to detecting activation of the selector input device, the camera captures a media content item and the communication interface transmits the media content item to the server for function processing. The selector input device can be a rotary wheel. To select the function setting from the plurality of settings, the user can rotate the rotary wheel to a function setting and press the rotary wheel. Other embodiments are described herein.
