Abstract:
An electronic device includes, or is connected to, a biometric sensing device. A non-textual graphical element may be displayed when a biometric image received from the biometric sensing device does not match a reference biometric image. The non-textual graphical element indicates a number of authentication retries remaining for the user. The non-textual graphical element is modified when another biometric image received from the biometric sensing device does not match the reference biometric image. The non-textual graphical element is modified to indicate that a fewer number of authentication retries remain for the user.
Abstract:
A method of operating an image sensor. Charge accumulated in a photodiode during a first sub-exposure may be selectively stored in a storage node responsive to a first control signal. Charge accumulated in the photodiode during a first reset period may be selectively discarded responsive to a second control signal. Charge accumulated in the photodiode during a second sub-exposure may be selectively stored responsive to the first control signal. Charge stored in the storage node from the first and second sub-exposures may be transferred to a floating diffusion node responsive to a third control signal.
Abstract:
A computing device is disclosed. The computing device may include a display, a processor in communication with the display and an enclosure connected to the display. The computing device may also include an input/output (I/O) device in communication with the processor. The I/O device may also be connected to the enclosure. Additionally, the I/O device may include a modifiable display that may substantially match the appearance of the enclosure.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for sharing information between a first computing device and a second computing device. In the described embodiments, an optical label, such as, for example a QR code, is generated on the first computing device. In embodiments, the optical label is color encoded and displayed in such a way that the optical label is not perceptible to a user. The second computing device may capture the encoded optical label and subject the captured images to a processing technique that decodes the encoded optical label.
Abstract:
One embodiment described herein may take the form of a system or method for generating and/or receiving a plurality of sequenced matrix codes, such as QR codes, containing information such that the matrix codes may be decoded and analyzed in sequence to retrieve the stored information. In one embodiment, sequencing information may be embedded in one or more of the plurality of sequenced matrix codes to aid in receiving and decoding the codes in the proper and intended order. This sequencing information may be retrieved and maintained by a reader device to ensure that each matrix code in the sequence is received. Further, the plurality of sequenced matrix codes may be provided through a series of images, such as a video component of a multimedia presentation that may be received by the reader device.
Abstract:
An electronic device determines to transmit an image including a matrix code to a display, receives input specifying to alter the matrix code, generates an updated image according to the input, and transmits the updated image to the display. The device may alter a size and/or position of the matrix code, a display duration and/or complexity of the matrix code, and so on. The device may generate the matrix code and modify it in response to input, receive different matrix code versions and select a different version in response to input, receive the image including the matrix code and generate a replacement to overlay over the image, and so on. Additionally, independent of input, the device may receive an image, detect an included first matrix code, generate a second matrix code based on the first, and generate an updated image by adding the second matrix code to the image.
Abstract:
A device such as a multicolor light emitting diode that emits different colors of light and that may combine the different colors emitted by individual light emitting diodes. The multicolor LED may include a common anode terminal that may be connected to each anode of the individual light emitting diodes. The multicolor LED may be a five terminal multicolor LED. Additionally, the multicolor LED may include two anode terminals, in which the first anode terminal may be a common anode terminal connected to three of the individual color LEDs and the second anode terminal may be connected to an anode of a white LED. In this embodiment, the multicolor LED may be a six terminal multicolor LED.
Abstract:
One embodiment may take the form of a method for routing a signal to a target device. The method may include a control device that may transmit a signal on a first network. The signal may reach devices other than the target device. The devices that receive the signal may recognize that the signal is intended for another device and may transmit the signal on a second network. The signal may be received by the target device via the second network.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for placing a vehicle operator into an performance driving position for a particular vehicle by adjusting equipment on the vehicle based on various combinations of biometric parameters of the vehicle operator. In one embodiment, the performance driving position for a particular vehicle is first determined and is stored in a processing device or associated memory. The vehicle operator may enter required biometric parameters into an input device operably connected to the processing device, which in turn calculates the vehicle operator's present location and any movement of the seating elements, controls, and set forth necessary to place the vehicle operator in an performance driving position. The processing device then sends one or more output signals to one or more motors associated with one or more seating elements or controls to adjust such equipment and place the operator in the performance driving position.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for determining the amounts of force applied by at least two fingers of a user to a touch input device having a touch input surface. In one example, a system may include a plurality of force sensors distributed about the touch input surface; a plurality of touch sensors distributed about the touch input surface; and a module for apportioning a first amount of force as measured by the plurality of force sensors to one of the at least two fingers, and for apportioning a second amount of force as measured by the plurality of force sensors to another of the at least two fingers. The system may also include a persistent data structure including force calibration data with force deflection measurement values as measured by each of the plurality of force sensors in response to a standardized force applied to various known locations on the touch input surface. The system may also include one or more matched filter modules.
