A computer program in a computer system with one or more processors receives digital image data from a smart camera and sends the digital image data from the smart camera to smart contact lenses worn by a first user in the digital image data. The approach includes one or more processors receiving from a user interface in the smart camera, an instruction, from a second user, for at least one change to the first user and sending the instruction for the at least one change to the smart contact lenses worn by the first user.

A method to select a content block from a physical document. The method includes generating, by a computer processor and based on an image of the physical document, extracted content blocks in the physical document, detecting, using a camera disposed toward a workspace surface, a finger gesture of a user that identifies a finger tap position on the workspace surface, selecting, by the computer processor, an extracted content block based on an intersection between the finger tap position and a region on the workspace surface associated with the extracted content block, and generating, based at least on the extracted content block, a final content block selection of the physical document for performing a document processing task of the physical document.

An image forming apparatus includes: a controller that controls the image forming apparatus; a memory that stores noise levels produced by a plurality of devices constituting the image forming apparatus during operation of the devices; and a microphone that accepts a speech instruction for the image forming apparatus. The controller accepts a job, detects a speech level from the speech accepted by the microphone, compares the detected speech level with a noise level that corresponds to the job to be executed in the image forming apparatus and that has been read from the memory, and controls, based on a result of the comparison, which one of a process of accepting the speech instruction and a process of executing the job in the image forming apparatus should be preferentially performed.

A technique for sharing a peripheral device among a group of systems comprises capturing a set of images of a user, and processing the set of images of the user to determine a user directive to designate a first system in the group as an owner of a peripheral device of a second system in the group. If the peripheral device is an input device, the technique further comprises redirecting, responsive to the user directive, from the second system to the first system, data entered using the input device of the second system. If the peripheral device is an output device, the technique further comprises forwarding, responsive to the user directive, from the first system to the second system, data for processing by the output device of the second system. In an embodiment, the user directive is in the form of the user's eye gaze directed at a camera.

System and method for enhanced printer and printer operator interactions. One embodiment includes a maintenance controller in communication with a camera having a field of view overlapping with a field of view of a human operator, and in communication with a display to display images for the human operator. The maintenance controller obtains a first image of the printer components, analyzes the first image to determine locations of the printer components in the first image based on the image data of the printer components stored in the memory, and modifies the first image to include highlighted areas corresponding with the locations of the printer components. The maintenance controller receives an instruction from the human operator indicating one of the highlighted areas as a selected printer component, retrieves the maintenance information of the selected printer component from memory, and sends the maintenance information to the display.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming section, a first detecting section, a second detecting section, a display section, and a control section. The first detecting section detects a person present within a predetermined range from the image forming apparatus. The second detecting section detects an eye gaze of the person detected by the first detecting section. When, during a power saving state of the image forming apparatus, the first detecting section detects a person and the second detecting section detects an eye gaze of the person directed in a predetermined direction, the control section wakes up the image forming apparatus from the power saving state and allows the display section to display a predetermined screen according to the direction of the person's eye gaze detected by the second detecting section.

An image forming apparatus includes a CPU and a gesture detection part. The gesture detection part outputs data for a gesture corresponding to a hand action of a user present in front or in the vicinity of an apparatus body, to the CPU. The CPU detects presence or absence of the gesture and the type of the gesture in accordance with output from the gesture detection part. The CPU, upon detecting the gesture, checks details of the gesture against details of the preregistered, registered gesture, and if the detected gesture is the registered gesture, the CPU executes processing allocated to the detected, registered gesture.

Methods and systems for navigating content displayed on a user computing device comprising generating content data configured for presentation on a display of a user computing device, transmitting, the content data to the display of the user computing device for display on the user computing device, collecting behavior data of the user sensed by the tracking module, and determining whether behavior engagement data represents a value that satisfies a threshold value. When the value satisfies the threshold value an instruction request that is associated with the value of the behavior engagement data is generated and when the value does not satisfy the threshold value the same content on the display of the user computing device is displayed to the user.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a device comprising a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor is configured to perform displaying a display object associated with processing and including at least a first area and a second area, and detecting an operation of a user on the display object. In a case where the detected operation is an operation on the first area of the display object, the processing associated with the display object is executed. In a case where the detected operation is an operation on the second area of the display object, a setting screen for the processing associated with the display object is displayed.
