Abstract:
The systems described herein provide a remote keyboard service for a media device on a computing device without having to invoke an application or unlock the computing device. The computing device can receive a message indicating that a text input field on the other device is selected and present a notification to the user prompting the user to invoke the virtual keyboard on the computing device to provide text input to the selected text input field. The computing device can receive user input selecting the notification and present a virtual keyboard for providing text input to the other device. The computing device can receive keyboard input from the user selecting characters and send the characters to the other device. The other device can then user the characters as text input to the selected text input field.
Abstract:
Techniques and devices for acquiring and compressing timelapse video are described. The techiques are adaptive, in that the acquisition frame rate is adapted and captured images are periodically deleted during filming. To implement the method, a user need not know ahead of time how long the source video will be acquired. Regardless of the acquisition time, the resulting video is automatically edited to provide a timelapse clip of a predefined length or of a length within a predefined range.
Abstract:
There is provided a method comprising presenting, by a user device (102a, 700), a first graphical notification (202) prompting a user to invoke a virtual keyboard (310) on the user device (102a, 700); receiving, by the user device via the first graphical notification (202), a first user input invoking the virtual keyboard (310) on the user device (102a, 700); presenting, on a display of the user device (102a, 700), the virtual keyboard (310) for providing input, wherein the virtual keyboard is provided by an operating system (104a) of the user device (102a, 700) that is distinct from any user application on the user device; and receiving, via a microphone (730) of the user device (102a, 700), user voice input providing at least one command to the virtual keyboard (310).
