    摘要: Disclosed is a method for controlling a command input device. The method includes: sensing contact between a home appliance and the command input device; based on sensing the contact between the home appliance and the command input device, determining the home appliance as a target home appliance to be controlled by the command input device; and based on the determination of the home appliance as the target home appliance to be controlled by the command input device, activating a remote controller provided by the command input device and configured to control the target home appliance.

    摘要: Disclosed is a device having a processor, a sensor and a computer-readable storage device storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including receiving an interaction with the device indicating an intent of a user of the device to initiate a function, sensing, via the sensor, a condition associated with the device, and determining, based on the condition, a probability of whether the user intended to initiate the function using the device to yield a determination. When the determination indicates that the condition causes a sufficient probability to exist at a threshold that the user did not intend to initiate the function, the instructions prevent the device from initiating the function. When the determination indicates that the condition does cause a sufficient probability to exist at the threshold that the user did intend to initiate the function, the instructions initiate the function on the device.

    摘要: A hands-free apparatus includes a memory, and a hardware processor coupled to the memory. The hardware processor is configured to: perform a hands-free connection process of connecting to a mobile phone by using a hands-free communication protocol for performing a hands-free telephone conversation; perform a connection process with a mobile phone by using a data transfer protocol for transferring telephone data related to telephone, and a data transfer process of causing the telephone data to be transferred from the mobile phone; perform a software update process of the hands-free apparatus; and perform transfer control for causing the telephone data to be transferred. The hardware processor is configured to cause transfer of the telephone data not to be performed during the software update process.

    摘要: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing access to media content associated with events, using a digital media content environment. A media application enables display of a memory event timeline, including a plurality of memory events, to provide an improved presentation of media consumption by a user that resembles a person's memory or recollection of such events. Recent events are generally presented with more specificity, with earlier time periods and events generally presented more broadly. An input action or request for a memory event can be performed to cause a media server to determine a corresponding historical media content for delivery, and to stream or buffer the historical media content related to that memory event, and/or to cause other systems or environments to provide additional content related to the memory event either via the media server, or directly delivered to the media device.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for controlling functions of an audio responsive electronic device based on a presence detector (e.g., a motion sensor) to improve power usage and functional performance. In some embodiments, an audio responsive electronic device operates to intelligently turn on and turn off components in response to the detected presence of a user. In some embodiments, an audio responsive electronic device operates to suppress noise from the display device (or other sources of noise), and enhance audio commands from a user (or other sources of audio commands). In some embodiments, a media device is configured to adjust a transmission pattern to an audio responsive electronic device based on user position.
