    Abstract: Complex devices, software systems, and/or networks may comprise one or more subsystems that perform periodic tasks. A first task may be assigned a first execution frequency and a second task may be assigned a second execution frequency that is not an alias of the first execution frequency (e.g., assignment of execution intervals that are non-overlapping harmonics of each other, such as non-repeating frequencies). A first resource utilization by the first task may be distinguished from a second resource utilization of the second task based upon the first resource utilization corresponding to resource utilization (e.g., network usage, processor usage, power consumption, user access, etc.) associated with the first execution frequency and the second resource utilization corresponding to resource utilization associated with the second execution frequency. Thus, resource utilization of individual tasks of various subsystems and/or networks may be determined.

    Abstract: Many headset devices, such as virtual reality helmets, present visuals that respond to the user's motion, such that a rotation of the user's head causes the visual to be re-rendered from a correspondingly rotated perspective. The lag between the user's motion and the updated rendering from the new perspective may be perceivable even at high framerates, and may induce unpleasant feelings such as vertigo. Instead, headset devices may respond to detected motion by identifying a displacement of the physical location of the visual that causes it to maintain a physical position relative to a stationary reference point. The display is operatively coupled with a displacer, such as actuators or a projection adjustment, that are engaged to displace the display according to the identified displacement and maintain a physical location of the visual relative to the stationary reference point (e.g., until the visual is re-rendered from the updated perspective).

    Abstract: Users may interface with user interfaces populated with large sets of data items (e.g., contacts, files, photos, etc.), but may be unable to quickly and/or efficiently find a desired data item. Accordingly, as provided herein, a graphical user interface, populated with a set of data items, may be presented to a user of a client device. Sensor data may be received from a motion sensing component of the client device. The sensor data may indicate a motion of the client device. A motion rate of the motion may be determined. The set of data items may be visually traversed at a scroll rate derived from the motion rate (e.g., a faster motion may increase the scroll rate and a slower motion may decrease the scroll rate). In this way, the user may efficiently scroll through large sets of data items by panning, tilting, twisting, or otherwise moving the client device.

    Abstract translation: 用户可以与填充有大量数据项(例如联系人,文件,照片等)的用户界面进行接口,但可能无法快速和/或有效地找到所需的数据项。 因此,如本文所提供的,可以向客户端设备的用户呈现填充有一组数据项的图形用户界面。 可以从客户端设备的运动感测组件接收传感器数据。 传感器数据可以指示客户端设备的运动。 可以确定运动的运动速率。 可以以从运动速率导出的滚动速率可视地遍历数据项集合(例如,更快的运动可以增加滚动速率,并且较慢的运动可能降低滚动速率)。 以这种方式,用户可以通过平移,倾斜,扭转或以其他方式移动客户端设备来有效地滚动大量数据项。

    Abstract: One or more systems and/or methods for providing related content associated with a multi-touch gesture to a user are provided. A multi-touch gesture (e.g., a pinch-in gesture, a pinch-out gesture, etc.) may be received through a user interface of a client device (e.g., smartphone, tablet, television, virtual wall, etc.) associated with a user. The multi-touch gesture may be evaluated to identify an area of interest of the user interface (e.g., a portion of user interface containing content of interest to the user). The area of interest may be evaluated to identify context (e.g., keywords, phrases, associated content, etc.) associated with the area of interest. A search of content may be performed based upon the context to identify related content (e.g., news articles, wide-area network search results, local device search results, etc.) associated with the context. The related content may be provided to the user through the client device.

    Abstract: One or more systems and/or methods for identifying a positional state of a mobile device are provided. An output audio pulse may be generated from a speaker of a mobile device. An input audio pulse, corresponding to the output audio pulse, may be detected utilizing a microphone of the mobile device. The output audio pulse and the input audio pulse may be evaluated to determine a positional feature associated with the mobile device. The positional feature may be evaluated using a classifier to identify a positional state of the mobile device (e.g., the mobile device may be laying on a table, inside a user's jacket pocket, within a vehicle, etc.). In an example, an operating characteristic of the mobile device may be adjusted based on the positional state of the mobile device (e.g., a ringer volume may be increased, a content recommendation may be displayed, etc.).
