    摘要: Emoji-first messaging where 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.

    摘要: Methods, devices, media, and other embodiments are described for generating, modifying, and outputting pseudorandom animations that can be synchronized to audio data. In one embodiment, a computer animation model made up of comprising one or more control points is accessed by one or more processors, which associate motion patterns with a first control point of the one or more control points, and associate one or more speed harmonics with the first control point. A set of motion states is identify with a motion state for the combinations of possibilities, and a probability value is assigned to each motion state of the set of motion states. The probability value can be used to probabilistically determine a particular motion state to be part of displayed animation for the computer animation model.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system and a method for performing operations comprising: detecting physical touch of a touch-sensitive component on a back portion of a client device, the client device displaying a graphical user interface on a touch-sensitive display screen of a front portion of the client device; in response to detecting the physical touch, transmitting an electrical signal representing the physical touch of the touch-sensitive component on the back portion of the client device to the touch-sensitive display screen of the front portion of the client device; and causing an operation associated with the graphical user interface to be executed in response to the touch-sensitive display screen receiving the electrical signal representing the physical touch of the touch-sensitive component on the back portion of the client device.

    摘要: Method of performing acoustic zooming starts with microphones capturing acoustic signals associated with video content. Beamformers generate beamformer signals using the acoustic signals. Beamformer signals correspond respectively to tiles of video content. Each of the beamformers is respectively directed to a center of each of the tiles. Target enhanced signal is generated using beamformer signals. Target enhanced signal is associated with a zoom area of video content. Target enhanced signal is generated by identifying the tiles respectively having at least portions that are included in the zoom area, selecting beamformer signals corresponding to identified tiles, and combining selected beamformer signals to generate target enhanced signal. Combining selected beamformer signals may include determining proportions for each of the identified tiles in relation to the zoom area and combining selected beamformer signals based on the proportions to generate the target enhanced signal. Other embodiments are described herein.
