20100164685 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ESTABLISHING DEVICE CONNECTIONS - A system, apparatus, method and article to establish device connections are described. The apparatus may include an input device to receive identification information for a selected target device. The apparatus may also include a connection module operative to send a connection request message including the identification information to one or more target devices and receive a connection response message from the selected target device. The connection response message includes confirmation that the identification information corresponds to local identification information stored on the selected target device. The apparatus may also include a communication module operative to establish a wireless connection between the mobile computing device and the selected target device based on the corresponding identification information. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 07-01-2010 |
20100165961 | SOCIAL NETWORKING AND ADVERTISEMENTS IN A MOBILE DEVICE ON A LOCAL PERSONAL AREA NETWORK - Methods and apparatus are disclosed for media access control (MAC) layer processing to support social networking and advertisements over the MAC layer of a local personal area network (PAN). An application interface permits a service category corresponding to the application to be selected, and further permits service announcements corresponding to the application to be advertised. Generator logic may generate the service announcements to be advertised. The MAC layer processor inserts the service announcements into beacons in the local MAC layer of the local PAN and also receives advertisements from other devices over the MAC layer of the local PAN. Monitor logic can monitor the MAC layer of the local PAN for advertisements corresponding to the selected service category. The monitor logic is also operatively coupled with the application interface for displaying advertised services corresponding to the selected service category. | 07-01-2010 |
20100169817 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTEXT ENHANCED WIRELESS DISCOVERY - A system, apparatus, method and article for context enhanced wireless discovery are described. The apparatus may include a discovery module to receive status information for one or more target devices, the status information comprising physical characteristics of the one or more target devices. The apparatus may also include a composition manager to generate a graphical user interface including icons representing the one or more target devices, the icons including graphical representations of the status information. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 07-01-2010 |
20100271302 | SENSOR FUSION TO COMBINE SENSOR INPUT DATA FROM MULTIPLE DEVICES INTO ONE INPUT STREAM - Software gaming applications may be written to accept an input from one or more standard controllers such a joystick with input buttons. However, multiple wearable sensors or hand held MID devices may enhance the gaming experience. These sensors may include devices such as accelerometers to detect movement of the extremity they are attached to and wirelessly communicate this information to a receiver. Embodiments are directed to using sensor fusion to combine sensor data from multiple wireless input devices, such as wearable sensors and MID devices together to form one logical input stream that is presented to an application and which the application sees are a standard controller. | 10-28-2010 |
20120158390 | USER MODEL CREATION - In some embodiments a controller is adapted to receive textual representation of content experienced by a user, to receive information about an interaction by the user with the content, and to determine a user model in response to the textual representation and the interaction. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 06-21-2012 |
20120233144 | METHOD AND APPARATUS TO REORDER SEARCH RESULTS IN VIEW OF IDENTIFIED INFORMATION OF INTEREST - Various embodiments described herein provide systems, methods, and software to automatically reorder search results presented to users based on information specific to the user or the computing environment of the user. Some embodiments include a data store holding user or environment specific data that is used to identify search results that are more likely to be relevant to the user. These and other embodiments are described in greater detail herein. | 09-13-2012 |
20120251016 | TECHNIQUES FOR STYLE TRANSFORMATION - Techniques to stylistically transform source text are disclosed. A source text and information about an output channel may be received. The source text may be stylistically transformed based on the information about the output channel. The stylistically transformed source text may be output. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 10-04-2012 |
20140236462 | NAVIGATION SYSTEMS THAT ENHANCE DRIVER AWARENESS - Navigation systems that enhance driver awareness are provided. Information associated with a location of a vehicle may be determined. Based at least in part upon the determined location, awareness information associated with the vehicle may be collected. The awareness information may include at least one of crime information, accident information, legal information, or future traffic information. Based at least in part upon the collected awareness information, output information may be generated for presentation, and the generated output information may be output. | 08-21-2014 |
20140236472 | NAVIGATION SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - Navigation systems and associated methods for providing navigation services are provided. Information associated with a desired route for a vehicle, such as a route between a current location and a desired destination, may be determined. Additionally, contextual information associated with the vehicle may be identified. Based upon the desired route and the contextual information, a direction may be generated for presentation to one or more users, and the generated direction may be output for presentation. | 08-21-2014 |
20140244259 | SPEECH RECOGNITION UTILIZING A DYNAMIC SET OF GRAMMAR ELEMENTS - Speech recognition is performed utilizing a dynamically maintained set of grammar elements. A plurality of grammar elements may be identified, and the grammar elements may be ordered based at least in part upon contextual information. In other words, contextual information may be utilized to bias speech recognition. Once a speech input is received, the ordered plurality of grammar elements may be evaluated, and a correspondence between the received speech input and a grammar element included in the plurality of grammar elements may be determined. | 08-28-2014 |
