20090122198 | AUTOMATIC IDENTIFYING - A method includes storing a picture or video that includes a first person. The method also includes automatically identifying the first person using speaker recognition or image recognition and tagging the picture or video with information indicating that the first person is in the picture or video. | 05-14-2009 |
20090215397 | COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DEVICES BASED ON DEVICE-TO-DEVICE PHYSICAL CONTACT - A method includes detecting one or more physical contacts between the device and another device and determining whether the one or more physical contacts correspond to one or more taps. The method further includes initiating a discovery request to the other device, when it is determined that the physical contact corresponds to the one or more taps, and communicating to the other device when a communication link is established between the device and the other device based on the discovery request. | 08-27-2009 |
20100013943 | ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD RELATING TO AN IMAGE RECORDING DEVICE - An input system for a digital camera may include a portion for taking at least one image to be used as a control image; and a controller to control at least one operation of the digital camera based on a control command recognized from the control image, the control command controlling a function of the camera | 01-21-2010 |
20100033588 | SHADOW AND REFLECTION IDENTIFICATION IN IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICES - A device may include an image capturing assembly to frame an image of a subject for capturing; and a processor to automatically identify a shadow or a reflection corresponding to a user of the device in the framed image. The image capturing assembly is configured to capture the image following the automatic identification of the shadow or the reflection. The processor is configured to perform one of: adjusting the image capturing assembly based on the automatic identification of the shadow or the reflection prior to the capturing of the image, or modifying the captured image based on the automatic identification of the shadow or the reflection. | 02-11-2010 |
20100302393 | SELF-PORTRAIT ASSISTANCE IN IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICES - A method may include determining whether an image area of an image capture device includes an image associated with a user/owner of the image capture device. Self-portrait optimization processing is performed when the image area includes an image associated with a user/owner. An image is captured based on the self-portrait optimization processing. | 12-02-2010 |
20110102369 | USING TOUCHES TO TRANSFER INFORMATION BETWEEN DEVICES - A device may comprise a display and a processor. The processor may obtain a first set of one or more touches on a remote surface of a remote device based on a signal received on a communication link between the device and the remote device, receive information associated with the first set of one or more touches through the signal, detect a gesture on the display, and determine whether the information is to be used to obtain content based on the gesture. | 05-05-2011 |
20120120071 | SHADING GRAPHICAL OBJECTS BASED ON FACE IMAGES - A device may include a transceiver for communicating with another device, a memory to store images, and a processor. The processor may recognize, in each of a plurality of images, an image of a face, shade an image of a virtual object based on the images of the face, and store the shaded image in the memory. | 05-17-2012 |
20120163677 | AUTOMATIC IDENTIFYING - A method includes capturing a picture or video that includes a first person. The method also includes automatically identifying the first person using speaker recognition or image recognition and identifying an electronic address or identifier associated with the first person. The method further includes automatically initiating a communication to the first person using the electronic address or identifier associated with the first person. | 06-28-2012 |
