    摘要: A method for grouping a plurality of client devices is disclosed. The method includes receiving sound descriptors from the plurality of client devices. The sound descriptors are extracted from the environmental sound. Each of the sound descriptors is transmitted to a server, which determines a similarity of the sound descriptors received from the client devices. The server groups the plurality of client devices into at least one similar context group based on the similarity of the sound descriptors.

    摘要: A method for recognizing an environmental sound in a client device in cooperation with a server is disclosed. The client device includes a client database having a plurality of sound models of environmental sounds and a plurality of labels, each of which identifies at least one sound model. The client device receives an input environmental sound and generates an input sound model based on the input environmental sound. At the client device, a similarity value is determined between the input sound model and each of the sound models to identify one or more sound models from the client database that are similar to the input sound model. A label is selected from labels associated with the identified sound models, and the selected label is associated with the input environmental sound based on a confidence level of the selected label.

    摘要: A sleep monitoring application is installed on a mobile device. The mobile device is placed in a location when a user sleeps and records environmental sound. The sleep monitoring application determines indicators of sleep activity such as breathing sounds made by the user, and determines a sleep state of the user based on the indicators of sleep activity. Sleep disorders can be detected from the indicators of sleep activity. The sleep monitoring application may generate a report that summarizes the user's sleep states and alerts the user to any sleep disorders. The sleep monitoring application can use the environmental sound and the determined sleep states to determine ambient sound that is associated with good sleep. Later, if the sleep application determines the user is having problems sleeping, the sleep monitoring application can play the determined ambient sound to help the user sleep.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention describe methods and apparatus for performing context-sensitive OCR. A device obtains an image using a camera coupled to the device. The device identifies a portion of the image comprising a graphical object. The device infers a context associated with the image and selects a group of graphical objects based on the context associated with the image. Improved OCR results are generated using the group of graphical objects. Input from various sensors including microphone, GPS, and camera, along with user inputs including voice, touch, and user usage patterns may be used in inferring the user context and selecting dictionaries that are most relevant to the inferred contexts.

    摘要: Estimating a location of a mobile device is performed by comparing environmental information, such as environmental sound, associated with the mobile device with that of other devices to determine if the environmental information is similar enough to conclude that the mobile device is in a comparable location as another device. The devices may be in comparable locations in that they are in geographically similar locations (e.g., same store, same street, same city, etc.). The devices may be in comparable locations even though they are located in geographically dissimilar locations because the environmental information of the two locations demonstrates that the devices are in the same perceived location. With knowledge that the devices are in comparable locations, and with knowledge of the location of one of the devices, certain actions, such as targeted advertising, may be taken with respect to another device that is within a comparable location.

    摘要: A method of scanning an image of a document with a portable electronic device includes interactively indicating in substantially real time on a user interface of the portable electronic device, an instruction for capturing at least one portion of an image to enhance quality. The indication is in response to identifying degradation associated with the portion(s) of the image. The method also includes capturing the portion(s) of the image with the portable electronic device according to the instruction. The method further includes stitching the captured portion(s) of the image in place of a degraded portion of a reference image corresponding to the document, to create a corrected stitched image of the document.

    摘要: A method for determining a location of a mobile device with reference to locations of a plurality of reference devices is disclosed. The mobile device receives ambient sound and provides ambient sound information to a server. Each reference device receives ambient sound and provides ambient sound information to the server. The ambient sound information includes a sound signature extracted from the ambient sound. The server determines a degree of similarity of the ambient sound information between the mobile device and each of the plurality of reference devices. The server determines the location of the mobile device to be a location of a reference device having the greatest degree of similarity.
