    摘要: A shopper is presented with a customized online store whose inventory is defined by the shopper. In one embodiment, specification of the inventory is conducted in a bricks and mortar store—either during checkout, or by the shopper walking the aisles and scanning items with a barcode scanner pen or the like. The inventory may be defined—at least in part—by scanning items in the shopper's home. A variety of other novel features useful in on-line shopping are also disclosed.

    摘要: In one arrangement, information useful in understanding the content of user speech (e.g., phonemes identified by a speech recognition algorithm, data indicating the gender of the speaker, etc.) is determined at an apparatus (e.g., a cell phone), and accompanies speech data sent from that apparatus. (Steganographic encoding of the speech data can be employed to convey this information.) A receiving device can use this accompanying information to better understand the content of the speech. A great variety of other features and arrangements—some dealing with imagery rather than audio—are also detailed.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates generally to digital watermarking including watermarking conveyed through multiple channels. One claim recites a method to detect digital watermarks carried in different channels of a physical object. The method comprising: receiving first optically captured image data, the first optically captured image data corresponding to a first channel which is detectable with visible lighting; receiving second optically captured image data, the second optically captured image data corresponding to a second channel with is detectable in a first non-visible spectrum; receiving third optically captured image data, the third optically captured image data corresponding to a third channel with is detectable in a second non-visible spectrum; and using a programmed electronic processor, analyzing the first, second and third optically captured image data to detect watermark components embedded therein. Of course, other claims and combinations are provided too.
