In one aspect, an example method to be performed by a computing device includes (a) receiving a request to use a camera of the computing device; (b) in response to receiving the request, (i) using a microphone of the computing device to capture audio content and (ii) using the camera of the computing device to capture an image; (c) identifying reference audio content that has at least a threshold extent of similarity with the captured audio content; and (d) outputting an indication of the identified reference audio content while displaying the captured image.

KEY TRACKING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF OPERATION
20200038970 · 2020-02-06 ·

A Key Tracking System and Method of Operation allows a user to store a digital image of a key in a memory storage on a mobile device. The digital image of the key is stored with a plurality of keys for a user, creating a database of key images that are viewable for comparison, cutting references, key location identity, and other common key organization and tracking features. The stored digital image of the key is used to comparatively identify the key amongst digital images of a plurality of keys. The stored digital image of key can be compared with an image of a corresponding recall key in order to cut a key bitting for the key that substantially matches the key bitting of the recall key. The stored digital image of the key is associated with a location of a corresponding keyway structure that graphically displays on a digital map.

10552679 · 2020-02-04 · ·

A wearable apparatus is provided for capturing and processing images from an environment of a user. In one implementation, the wearable apparatus is used for causing a device paired to the wearable apparatus to execute a selected function. The wearable apparatus includes an image capture device, a transmitter and at least one processing device. The at least one processing device is programmed to obtain images captured by the image capture device; analyze the images to detect a contextual situation associated with images; based on the detected contextual situation, associate with the at least one image a category tag, wherein the category tag is associated with a selected function; determine image-related information associated with the detected contextual situation; and cause the transmitter to transmit the determined image-related information to the paired device to cause the paired device to execute the selected function based on the determined image-related information.

Image search using intersected predicted queries
10552478 · 2020-02-04 · ·

A method for receiving a first user query from a user for searching an item, forming a first filter based on the first user query, and forming a first filtered item collection is provided. The method includes predicting a new query based on the first user query and a historical query log, forming a second filter for the new query, and applying the second filter to the first filtered item collection to form a second filtered item collection. Further, associating an item score to each of a plurality of items in the first and second filtered item collections, sorting the plurality of items in the first and second filtered item collections according to the item score associated to each of the plurality of items, and providing, to a user display, an item in the plurality of items in the first or second filtered item collections according to a sorting order.

System and method for identifying and tagging individuals present in an image
10552472 · 2020-02-04 ·

A system and a method for identifying and tagging individuals present in an image are disclosed. The method comprises detecting a second device present in proximity of a first device, for establishing a connection. The connection may be established while the first device enters in a camera mode. Immediately after the first device captured an image, the first device may receive identity information of individuals from the second device. The identity information of individuals may comprise at least one of images and personal details of the individuals. Based on the received identity information, the first device may identify the individuals present in the image. The identified individuals present in the image may be tagged using their corresponding identities. Such tagging information may be stored in metadata of the image for a later usage.
