Sensor information is received (S41) at a host device from a mobile device. A pose of the mobile device is then determined by the host device based on the received sensor information. The pose of the mobile device is compared with pose information (S42) of previous poses of the mobile device, each previous pose of the mobile device being associated with a performance level of the system for data transmitted from the host device and received and output at the mobile device having that previous pose. The host device then determines (S43) whether a performance level of the system for the mobile device having the determined pose is likely to be above or below a threshold of acceptability based on the comparison, and, if it is determined that the performance level is likely to be above the threshold of acceptability, setting (S44A) a low level of compression to be applied to the data so that quality of the data transmitted to the mobile device is high, but, if it is determined that the performance level is likely to be below the threshold of acceptability, setting (S44B) a high level of compression to be applied to the data so that quality of the data transmitted to the mobile device is low, but is more likely to be received and output properly by the mobile device.

An information processing apparatus includes a scene obtaining unit and a suitability determining unit. The scene obtaining unit is configured to obtain a scene including position and attitude information of a movable object equipped with a camera and information regarding a three-dimensional shape of an object to be imaged, the object to be imaged being imaged by the camera. The suitability determining unit is configured to determine suitability of the scene on the basis of suitability data indicating whether or not the obtained scene is suitable for localizing processing.

In some embodiments, an electronic device facilitates processes for subscribing to a content delivery service. For example, the electronic device subscribes to a voice-only subscription to a content delivery service or a voice and non-voice subscription to the content delivery service. In some embodiments, the electronic device accesses content items via a content delivery service.

A smart control device is provided. The smart control device and a display panel of a smart TV are separately provided. The smart control device includes: a lifting unit, and a charging unit, and a main control unit including a main control circuit board configured to control the display panel. The lifting unit includes a bearing platform configured to bear a target object, an infrared sensor, and a lifting motor. The main control unit is configured to control an operation of the lifting motor and adjust a position of the bearing platform according to a detection signal of the infrared sensor. The charging unit is configured to charge the target object upon receiving a preset position signal generated in response to a determination that the bearing platform reaches a preset position.

Creative intent input describing emotion expectations and narrative information relating to media content is received. Expected physiologically observable states relating to the media content are generated based on the creative intent input. An audiovisual content signal with the media content and media metadata comprising the physiologically observable states is provided to a playback apparatus. The audiovisual content signal causes the playback device to use physiological monitoring signals to determine, with respect to a viewer, assessed physiologically observable states relating to the media content and generate, based on the expected physiologically observable states and the assessed physiologically observable states, modified media content to be rendered to the viewer.

An electronic device is provided, which includes a body, a camera module, at least one sensor, and a processor. The camera module is rotatably disposed on the body. The sensor is disposed in the electronic device for generating an environmental sensing signal. The processor is electrically connected to the camera module and the sensor. The processor loads and executes an application to perform: generating a display image; controlling the camera module to capture a face image and combining the face image and the display image into a live stream image when a show face function of the application is activated; and when the electronic device is in the live stream mode and the processor determines that an environment dynamic change occurs according to the environmental sensing signal, the processor transmits a notification signal to the application to notify the application to close the show face function.

Method and system consist of a mobile application installed on a mobile device with internet connection and a geographical positioning device; a remote hosting server configured with software and database; an onsite wireless communication hosting apparatus. The mobile application communicates with the remote hosting server and the onsite wireless communication apparatus. The remote hosting server and onsite wireless communication apparatus communicate and transfer data to one another, the remote hosting server communicates with third party databases via secured access and retrieves location related information requested by onsite users of the mobile device. Web users at anywhere may select a location displayed on a digital map over interface of a web application configured to the remote hosting server; access the same as onsite users; including data entered by location owners, received from third-party databases via secured connection, and uploaded from onsite wireless communication apparatus.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining one or more signals, the one or more signals being based upon brain activity of a viewer while the viewer is viewing media content; predicting, based upon the one or more signals, a first predicted desired viewport of the viewer; obtaining head movement data associated with the media content; predicting, based upon the head movement data, a second predicted desired viewport of the viewer; comparing the first predicted desired viewport to the second predicted desired viewport, resulting in a comparison; and determining, based upon the comparison, to use the first predicted desired viewport to facilitate obtaining a first subsequent portion of the media content or to use the second predicted desired viewport to facilitate obtaining a second subsequent portion of the media content. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Virtual site inspections to support clinical trials is disclosed. A frame and glasses subsystem has at least a global positioning system (GPS) and is associated with a first computing device at a physical site where an inspection is conducted. A session is opened in a web-based application on a second communication device that is in communication with, but that is physically remote from, the first computing device. Location tracking using GPS allows for a location of the frame and glasses subsystem to be continuously tracked. A script from the web-based application to the first computing device enables association with a video stream and locations within the physical site. The script enables responses to be provided from the first computing device at the locations. The locations, time stamps, video stream, the responses from the script, and a device identifier is provided immutably to the web-based application.

A display apparatus (10) that is an example of an image processing apparatus includes: an output unit that outputs part of an image including recommended viewpoint information as a display image to a display unit; and a transition control unit that causes the display range of the image to shift, on the basis of the positional relationship between the viewpoint position corresponding to the display image output to the display unit and the viewpoint position corresponding to the recommended viewpoint information. The output unit outputs part of the image to the display unit, on the basis of the display range that has been made to shift.
