Abstract:
Various embodiments include processing devices and methods for managing multisensor inputs on a mobile computing device. Various embodiments may include receiving multiple inputs from multiple touch sensors, identifying types of user interactions with the touch sensors from the multiple inputs, identifying sensor input data in a multisensor input data structure corresponding with the types of user interactions, and determining whether the multiple inputs combine as a multisensor input in an entry in the multisensor input data structure having the sensor input data related to a multisensor input response. Various embodiments may include detecting a trigger for a multisensor input mode, entering the multisensor input mode in response to detecting the trigger, and enabling processing of an input from a touch sensor.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for host-augmented touch-sensing are disclosed. The energy-efficiency of a touch sensitive device may be improved by dynamically adjusting the scanning sensitivity of the touch sensor based on host-augmented environmental information such as temperature, pressure, position, orientation, humidity, force, or battery charging mode.
Abstract:
In some embodiments, a processor of the mobile computing device may receive an input for performing a function with respect to content at the mobile device in which the content at the mobile device is segmented into at least a first command layer having one or more objects and a second command layer having one or more objects. The processor may determine whether the received input is associated with a first object of the first command layer or a second object of the second command layer. The processor may determine a function to be performed on one of the first or second objects based on whether the first command layer or the second command layer is determined to be associated with the received input, and the processor may perform the determined function on the first object or the second object.
Abstract:
Lower report rates are desirable in touch devices to minimize power consumption. However, lower report rates lead to inaccurate and untimely depiction of a user's touch inputs on a touch display device. Disclosed are methods and apparatus for using a lower report rate; while maintaining substantially the same or better user experience achieved by using a higher report rate.
Abstract:
In an image/video encoding and decoding system employing an artifact evaluator a method and/or apparatus to process video blocks comprising a decoder operable to synthesize an un-filtered reconstructed video block or frame and an artifact filter operable to receive the un-filtered reconstructed video block or frame, which generates a filtered reconstructed video block or frame. A memory buffer operable to store either the filtered reconstructed video block or frame or the un-filtered reconstructed video block or frame, and an artifact evaluator operable to update the memory buffer after evaluating and determining which of the filtered video block or frame, or the un-filtered video block or frame yields better image/video quality.
Abstract:
A voice recognition (VR) system is disclosed that utilizes a combination of speaker independent (SI) (230 and 232) and speaker dependent (SD) (234) acoustic models. At least one SI acoustic model (230 and 232) is used in combination with at least one SD acoustic model (234) to provide a level of speech recognition performance that at least equals that of a purely SI acoustic model. The disclosed hybrid SI/SD VR system continually uses unsupervised training to update the acoustic templates in the one ore more SD acoustic models (234). The hybrid VR system then uses the updated SD acoustic models (234) in combination with the at least one SI acoustic model (230 and 232) to provide improved VR performance during VR testing.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for implementing a virtual mouse. In one embodiment, the functions implemented include activating the virtual mouse, determining a location of a cursor icon associated with the virtual mouse, and deactivating the virtual mouse. In various embodiments, the position of virtual mouse is determined by a processor based upon an orientation or position of a finger touching a touchscreen and a measured or calculated pressure applied by the finger to the touchscreen.
