20140085210 | ELECTRONIC TABLETOP SYSTEM - An apparatus may include a processor circuit and an audio alignment module operative on the processor circuit to determine spatial indicia for a visual portion or element of multimedia content for presentation on a digital display, the multimedia content comprising visual content and audio content. The audio alignment module may be further operative to identify an audio signal corresponding to the visual portion or element and send the identified audio signal to one or more audio output devices based on a spatial correlation between the one or more audio output devices and the determined spatial indicia of the visual portion or element. | 03-27-2014 |
20140085292 | TECHNIQUES TO PROVIDE DEPTH-BASED TYPEFACE IN DIGITAL DOCUMENTS - An apparatus may include a processor circuit and a three-dimensional (3-D) typeface module that is operative on the processor circuit to provide a choice of one or more 3-D typefaces in a graphical user interface displayed on a digital display. The 3-D typeface component may be operable to determine that a selection of the 3-D typeface selection has been received and to apply the 3-D typeface to a selected set of characters in a digital document that includes editable text. | 03-27-2014 |
20140085538 | TECHNIQUES AND APPARATUS FOR AUDIO ISOLATION IN VIDEO PROCESSING - An apparatus may include a digital display, processor circuit, and an audio isolation component. The audio isolation component may be operative on the processor circuit to identify a selected position on the digital display during presentation of a video, where the video comprises a video stream and two or more audio streams. The audio isolation component may be operative on the processor circuit to generate an audio beam from the one or more audio streams based upon the selected position. | 03-27-2014 |
20140160256 | APPARATUS AND TECHNIQUES TO PROVIDE VARIABLE DEPTH DISPLAY - A device may include a processor circuit and a screen depth modifier component for execution on the processor circuit to vary an image displacement between a first image and second image for presentation simultaneously with the first image, the image displacement varying from a first image displacement to a second image displacement different from the first image displacement. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed. | 06-12-2014 |
20140185830 | METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND APPARATUS FOR AUDIO BACKTRACKING CONTROL - Example methods, systems, and apparatus for audio backtracking control are provided. An example method includes comparing an audio input value associated with an audio input to a threshold. The audio input is to be synchronized with an audio backtrack. The example method includes suppressing an output of the audio backtrack when the audio input value is below the threshold. The example method includes controlling a temporal pointer associated with the audio backtrack during a period of time in which the audio input value is below the threshold. | 07-03-2014 |
20140282009 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTENT CREATION - A system and method for content creation based on a mixed-initiative approach includes an interface configured to allow a user to access and interact with a generation module to assist in the creation of a media project based on media from a media database. The generation module is configured to receive user-selected media and retrieve a set of related media and populate and organize the media project with the user-selected media and related media. For example, in the case of a photo book project, the generation module is configured to automatically identify a set of images associated with a user-selected image and populate a corresponding page of the photo book with the user-selected image and set of associated images in a corresponding layout, having the user-selected image most prominently depicted. The generation module provides the user with a preview of a generated page for evaluation and manual user editing. | 09-18-2014 |
20140282102 | CONTENT SHARING DEVICE MANAGEMENT - Computer-readable storage medium, apparatus and method associated with sharing content between users of a computing environment are disclosed herein. In embodiments, one or more computer-readable storage media may contain instructions which when executed by a computing device may facilitate a first user of the computing environment in selecting at least one of a plurality of devices associated with a second user of the computing environment on which to share content with the second user. In some embodiments this may be accomplished through the use of a content sharing device management service of the computing environment. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed. | 09-18-2014 |
20140327655 | DETECTION OF AND RESPONSE TO EXTRA-DEVICE TOUCH EVENTS - Technologies are described herein that allow for the detecting and locating of an extra-device touch event, such as the strike of a hand or the tap of a finger or a pencil on the surface surrounding a mobile device. Applications executing on a mobile device or the device's operating system can take various actions based on the touch event's location. Mobile device sensors, such as accelerometers, detect that a touch event has taken place by detecting device movement in response to the touch event. In some embodiments, a touch event feature vector is generated from sensor readings and passed to a classifier that determines the touch event location. Other touch event information, such as timing, intensity and a profile of the object that caused the touch event can also be determined. The detecting and locating of touch events allows the interaction area of a mobile device to be extended beyond the physical bounds of the device, and allows multiple users to simultaneously use a mobile device in a more convenient manner. | 11-06-2014 |
20150058338 | PROMOTING ACTIVITY DURING PERIODS OF SEDENTARY BEHAVIOR - Systems and methods of operating a computing system may involve determining an identity of a user, determining physical attributes of a user, monitoring user activity, intelligently interrupting sedentary user activity after a threshold period of time has passed, and proposing activities to break the sedentary period of user behavior. | 02-26-2015 |
