Abstract:
A puzzle comprising at least four blocks, each block having at least four sides, the at least four sides of each block having at least two different colours, for example red, blue and yellow, at least one side of each block each having at least one feature thereon, for example a shape, a flag/emblem and a mode of transport, such as a car, a boat and a helicopter.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for accelerating machine reading of text. In one embodiment, the system comprises at least one processor device. The processor device is configured to receive at least one image of text to be audibly read. The text includes a first portion and a second portion. The processor device is further configured to initiate optical character recognition (OCR) to recognize the first portion. The processor device is further configured to initiate an audible presentation of the first portion prior to initiating OCR of the second portion, and simultaneously perform OCR to recognize the second portion of the text to be audibly read during presentation of at least part of the first portion. The processor device is further configured to automatically cause the second portion of the text to be audibly presented immediately upon completion of the presentation of the first portion.
Abstract:
A device and method are provided for providing feedback based on the state of an object. In one implementation, an apparatus for processing images is provided. The apparatus may include an image sensor configured to capture real time images from an environment of a user and at least one processor device configured to initially process at least one image to determine whether an object is likely to change its state. If a determination is made that the object is unlikely to change its state, the at least one processor device may additionally process the at least one image and provide a first feedback. If a determination is made that the object is likely to change its state, the at least one processor device may continue to capture images of the object and alert the user with a second feedback after a change in the state of the object occurs.
