The disclosure provides a projection system and a projection method. The projection system includes a projection device. The projection device includes a projection module, a controller, and an audio player. The controller is coupled to the projection module. The audio player is coupled to the controller. When the controller executes the prepare-for-sleep mode, the controller operates the projection module to dim a projection beam or to project a predetermined projection image and operates the audio player to play a predetermined sound.

The various implementations described herein include a video camera assembly that includes: (1) a housing; (2) an image sensor positioned within the housing and having a field of view corresponding to a scene in the smart home environment; and (3) a concave-shaped front face positioned in front of the image sensor such that light from the scene passes through the front face prior to entering the image sensor; where the front face includes: (a) an inner section corresponding to the image sensor; and (b) an outer section between the housing and the inner section, the outer section having a concave shape that extends from an outer periphery of the outer section to an inner periphery of the outer section; and where the concave shape extends around an entirety of the outer periphery.

A system for selectively amplifying audio signals may include a microphone configured to capture sounds from an environment of a user. The system may also include a processor programmed to: receive audio signals representative of the sounds captured by the microphone; cause selective conditioning of at least one audio signal received by the microphone from a region associated with the recognized individual; and cause transmission of the at least one conditioned audio signal to a hearing interface device configured to provide sound to an ear of the user.

A system may include a wearable camera configured to capture images and a microphone configured to capture sounds. The system may also include a processor programmed to receive the images; identify a representation of one or more individuals in the images; receive from the microphone a first audio signal associated with a voice; determine, based on analysis of the images, that the first audio signal is not associated with a voice of any of the one or more individuals; receive from the microphone a second audio signal associated with a voice; determine, based on analysis of the images, that the second audio signal is associated with a voice of one of the one or more individuals; and cause a first amplification of the first audio signal and a second amplification of the second audio signal. The first amplification may differ from the second amplification in one aspect.

The present technology discloses a security camera that includes a housing and a hardware switch coupled to the housing and an audio component of the security camera. The hardware switch has an ON position and an OFF position. When the hardware switch is in an ON position, the audio component of the camera is operational. When the hardware switch is in an OFF position, the audio component of the camera is non-operational.

An integrated mobile device enclosure which encloses a mobile device includes features configured to enhance the capturing and/or processing of content at the mobile device. An integrated mobile device enclosure may include a body configured to enclose at least a portion of a mobile device, one or more microphones configured to capture sound external to the mobile device, and one or more lights configured to support a camera of the mobile device. The one or more microphones and the one or more lights are used with a software application running on the mobile device for content capture and/or processing. The software application in at least some cases may selectively enable or disable ones of the microphones and/or lights based on environmental information measured within a location of the mobile device.
