Abstract:
In various examples, game session audio data—e.g., representing speech of users participating in the game—may be monitored and/or analyzed to determine whether inappropriate language is being used. Where inappropriate language is identified, the portions of the audio corresponding to the inappropriate language may be edited or modified such that other users do not hear the inappropriate language. As a result, toxic behavior or language within instances of gameplay may be censored—thereby enhancing the user experience and making online gaming environments safer for more vulnerable populations. In some embodiments, the inappropriate language may be reported—e.g., automatically—to the game developer or game application host in order to suspend, ban, or otherwise manage users of the system that have a proclivity for toxic behavior.
Abstract:
A method includes detecting, through a processor communicatively coupled to a memory, coupling of an external display to a data processing device including an internal display, and cloning, through the processor, display data of the internal display on the external display following the detection of the coupling. The method also includes triggering, through a driver component, the processor to turn off a backlight of the internal display of the data processing device, power gate circuitry associated with rendering the display data on the internal display and/or power gate a processing pipeline associated with the rendering of the display data following the cloning. Further, the method includes maintaining, through the driver component, a touchscreen capability of the internal display even when the backlight is turned off, the circuitry associated with the rendering of the display data is power gated and/or the processing pipeline associated therewith is power gated.
Abstract:
A method includes obtaining, through a distance sensor in conjunction with a processor of a data processing device communicatively coupled to a memory, data related to a distance between a user of the data processing device and a display unit associated therewith. The method also includes automatically modifying, through the processor, a resolution of the display unit and/or a size of an area in which data is to be rendered on the display unit in accordance with the obtained data.
Abstract:
A method includes determining, through a processor of a data processing device in conjunction with one or more sensor(s) associated therewith, an intent of a user of the data processing device to respond to an alert of an incoming communication thereto expressed through a sound volume level and/or a vibrational level of the alert. The method also includes automatically reducing, through the processor, the sound volume level and/or the vibrational level of the alert following the determination of the intent of the user to respond to the alert.
Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to a system and method for selectively controlling display power consumption in a system with a first and second display. While the system is in a non-idle state and while an application that is actively executing has an active window on the first display, a determination is made that the second display is inactive. In response to the determination, and while the system is still in the non-idle state, the second display is switched from a full power state to a low power state.
