Abstract:
A method for performing a function in an electronic device is disclosed. The method may include receiving an input sound stream including a speech command indicative of the function and identifying the function from the speech command in the input sound stream. Further, the method may determine a security level associated with the speech command. It may be verified whether the input sound stream is indicative of a user authorized to perform the function based on the security level. In response to verifying that the input sound stream is indicative of the user, the function may be performed.
Abstract:
A method, performed by a connection manager, for connecting an input device and one of a plurality of electronic devices as a target device is disclosed. The method includes detecting a face of a user in a captured image, and determining a first gaze direction of the user from the face of the user in the captured image. Based on the first gaze direction, the method determines the target device in the plurality of electronic devices and connects the input device and the target device.
Abstract:
A device includes a memory, a receiver, a processor, and a display. The memory is configured to store a speaker model. The receiver is configured to receive an input audio signal. The processor is configured to determine a first confidence level associated with a first portion of the input audio signal based on the speaker model. The processor is also configured to determine a second confidence level associated with a second portion of the input audio signal based on the speaker model. The display is configured to present a graphical user interface associated with the first confidence level or associated with the second confidence level.
Abstract:
A method of providing a channel program recommendation in real-time for a display device is disclosed. The method includes receiving a plurality of multimedia signal streams for a plurality of channel programs, and generating in real-time at least one video and audio content tag based on at least one of video and audio contents from the multimedia signal streams. The display device generates the channel program recommendation including at least one of the channel programs based on the at least one video and audio content tag and at least one of a plurality of viewing criteria. A notification of the channel program recommendation is then output.
Abstract:
A method of training a device specific cloud-based audio processor includes receiving sensor data captured from multiple sensors at a local device. The method also includes receiving spatial information labels computed on the local device using local configuration information. The spatial information labels are associated with the captured sensor data. Lower layers of a first neural network are trained based on the spatial information labels and sensor data. The trained lower layers are incorporated into a second, larger neural network for audio classification. The second, larger neural network may be retrained using the trained lower layers of the first neural network.
Abstract:
A method, performed in a control device, for adjusting a display device in communication with the control device is disclosed. The method may include receiving an image of a scene including the display device from an image sensor configured with a field of view overlapping at least a portion of view of a user. A display condition of the display device may be detected from the image. The control device may determine context information associated with the user from the image. Based on the display condition and the context information associated with the user, an output display condition of the display device may be determined. A control signal for adjusting the display device may then be generated based on the output display condition.
Abstract:
A method for providing object information for a scene in a wearable computer is disclosed. In this method, an image of the scene is captured. Further, the method includes determining a current location of the wearable computer and a view direction of an image sensor of the wearable computer and extracting at least one feature from the image indicative of at least one object. Based on the current location, the view direction, and the at least one feature, information on the at least one object is determined. Then, the determined information is output.
Abstract:
A method of detecting a target keyword for activating a function in an electronic device is disclosed. The method includes receiving an input sound starting from one of the plurality of portions of the target keyword. The input sound may be periodically received based on a duty cycle. The method extracts a plurality of sound features from the input sound, and obtains state information on a plurality of states associated with the portions of the target keyword. Based on the extracted sound features and the state information, the input sound may be detected as the target keyword. The plurality of states includes a predetermined number of entry states indicative of a predetermined number of the plurality of portions.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving an alarm sound including information related to an emergency event. The method also includes transmitting, to a server, identification information of the mobile device and the information. The method further includes receiving, from the server, an instruction for responding to the emergency event. The method further includes outputting the instruction.
Abstract:
A method for controlling an application in a mobile device is disclosed. The method includes receiving environmental information, inferring an environmental context from the environmental information, and controlling activation of the application based on a set of reference models associated with the inferred environmental context. In addition, the method may include receiving a sound input, extracting a sound feature from the sound input, transmitting the sound feature to a server configured to group a plurality of mobile devices into at least one similar context group, and receiving, from the server, information on a leader device or a non-leader device and the at least one similar context group.
