Call based emotion detection

Described are systems and methods that detect a call connection of a call (e.g., telephone call, social media call, etc.) between a first device of a user, such as a cellular phone, and a device of another person with which the user is to interact via the call. Upon detection of the call connection, another device of the user (e.g., wearable) records audio of the environment to detect speech output by the user during the call. The speech is then processed to determine sentiment(s) of the user during the call. The determined sentiment(s) of the user may then be presented to the user to aid the user in understanding how the speech of the user is perceived by others.

20220337780 · 2022-10-20 ·

Systems and methods are provided for video calling at a wrist-wearable device. The method includes receiving, at a wrist-wearable device that is coupled with one or more sensors, video data and audio data associated with a video call between a user of the wrist-wearable device and at least one other user distinct from the user. The method further includes while causing presentation of the video data via a display of the wrist-wearable device and the audio data via a speaker that is in communication with the wrist-wearable device, determining whether sensed data from the one or more sensors indicates that a video-viewing precondition is present at the wrist-wearable device. If the video-viewing precondition is not present at the wrist-wearable device, the method includes continuing to cause presentation of the audio data and ceasing to cause presentation of the video data at the wrist-wearable device.

REFLECTIVE VIDEO DISPLAY APPARATUS FOR INTERACTIVE TRAINING AND DEMONSTRATION AND METHODS OF USING SAME

A smart mirror can show live or recorded streaming video of an instructor performing a workout in a package that is attractive and unobtrusive enough to hang in a living room. The smart mirror includes a mirror surface with a fully reflecting section and a partially reflecting section. A display behind the partially reflecting section shows the video when the smart mirror is on and is almost invisible when the smart mirror is off. The smart mirror also has a speaker, a microphone, and a camera to enable a user to view the video content and interact with the instructor. The smart mirror may connect to the user's smart phone, a peripheral device (e.g., a Bluetooth speaker) to augment user experience, a biometric sensor to provide biometric data to assess user performance, and/or a network router to connect the smart mirror to a content provider, an instructor, and/or other users.

WEB CONTENT LAYOUT ENGINE INSTANCE SHARING ACROSS MOBILE DEVICES
20170364242 · 2017-12-21 ·

Web content layout engine instance sharing is provided by configuring a shared instance of a web browser layout engine shared between a first mobile device and a second mobile device; dynamically partitioning requested web content for display across the first mobile device and the second mobile device using the shared instance of the web browser layout engine, where the dynamically partitioning selects first interface element(s) of the web content for display by the first mobile device and selects second interface element(s) of the web content for display by the second mobile device, and where at least one second interface element of the second interface element(s) includes an action interface element, interaction with which is configured to advance a workflow of which the web content is a part; determining, based at least in part on user input, whether to advance the workflow; and performing processing based on the determining.

Location determination using a companion device

Methods, systems, and computer program products for a mobile device determining its location based on a location of a companion device are described. A mobile device can receive a request for determining a location of the mobile device from an application. The request can include an accuracy specification providing a lower limit on accuracy of the determined location. The mobile device can determine that the mobile device is incapable of achieving that accuracy. The mobile device can then submit a location request to a companion device that has paired with the mobile device. The companion device, upon receiving the location request, can determine a location of the companion device and provide the location of the companion device to the mobile device. The mobile device can then designate the location of the companion device as the location of the mobile device, and provide the location to the application.

Configure smartphone based on user sleep status

Various systems and methods for configuring a smartphone based on a user's sleep status are described herein. A compute device includes a determination module to determine a physiological state of a person and a configuration module to configure a quiet mode of the compute device based on the physiological state of the person.

Output devices for fabric-based electronic equipment
09830783 · 2017-11-28 · ·

A fabric-based electronic device may include an electronic device housing coupled to fabric. Control circuitry may be mounted in the electronic device housing and may control the movement of an output device in the fabric that provides tactile output to a user. For example, the output device may include a wire enclosed within a flexible tube. The flexible tube may be intertwined with fibers in the fabric. The wire may include a kink or other irregularity that presses against the inner surface of the flexible tube. When the wire is rotated or moved into an appropriate position, the kink may press against the inner surface of the tube, which in turn forms a protrusion on the fabric. The protrusion may press against the user's body and may therefore be used to obtain the attention of a user that is wearing or holding the fabric-based electronic device.

Method for Managing Application Icon, Terminal Device, and Storage Medium
20230176717 · 2023-06-08 ·

In the fields of electronic technologies and terminals, a method for managing an application icon, a terminal device, and a storage medium are provided. The terminal device is a smartwatch, a mobile phone, or the like with a display screen and on which an application is installed. In a scenario of installing an application on the terminal device, whether a target closed circle exists in closed circles in a direction from inside to outside in an icon grid is determined, where the icon grid is formed by arranging all current application icons of the terminal device in a grid manner, the closed circles are rectangular circles centered on a center of the icon grid, and a free position for an application icon exists on the target closed circle. If the target closed circle exists, a target application icon is added at the free position on the target closed circle. An icon of a newly installed application is added on an existing incomplete closed circle, to ensure that the application icons remain in an aggregated and compact visual form, which is convenient for a user to memorize and look up, enhances the display effect of application icons, and improves the user experience.
