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:
There is provided a state changing device. For example, in some examples, there is a portable computing device including a first digital image sensor facing out from a first side of the portable computing device, a second digital image sensor facing out from a second side of the portable computing device, and state change circuitry coupled to the first digital image sensor and the second digital image sensor, the state change detection circuitry designed to receive a first image from the first digital image sensor, receive a second image from the second digital image sensor, and change a state of the portable computing device or an application running on it if the first image is a blank image and the second image is not a blank image.

Abstract:
Almost all mobile devices, such as cell phones, tablets, laptops, etc., have touch sensors that enable a user of the device to control various aspects of the device through a touch screen. The touch screen is comprised of a touchable surface and numerous touch sensors positioned across the surface to sense which portion of the surface has been touched by the user. With current touch sensor technology, a touch controller of the device will perform a periodic scan, at some rate, of all of the touch sensors in order to determine which touch sensors have sensed a touch by the user. The present disclosure provides selective activation of the touch sensors for portions of a graphical user interface (GUI) determined to have user-selectable input elements, for providing power savings on the mobile device.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for changing an image on a display. The method, in one embodiment, includes providing a first image on a display. The method, in this embodiment, further includes tracking a movement of a user's facial feature as it relates to the first image on the display, and generating a command to provide a second different image on the display based upon the tracking.
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 automatically capturing, through a processor of a data processing device communicatively coupled to a memory, one or more parameter(s) related to a visual quality of rendering of a video frame that is part of a sequence on a display unit communicatively coupled to the processor and one or more parameter(s) related to latency associated with the rendering of the video frame on the display unit. The sequence is a video and/or a graphics sequence. The method also includes performing, through the processor, an automatic trade-off between the one or more parameter(s) related to the visual quality and the one or more parameter(s) related to the latency to maintain the one or more parameter(s) related to the visual quality or the one or more parameter(s) related to the latency within a threshold during the rendering of the video frame.
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:
Approaches presented herein provide systems and methods for identifying and removing overlay elements from one or more frames in a video sequence. A frame may be evaluated to identify one or more overlay elements and a mask may be generated, or acquired, to identify one or more regions of the frame associated with the one or more overlay elements. The initial frame and mask may be used as an input to one or more neural networks to remove the overlay elements and replace the overlay elements with generated content associated with an underlying scene in the frame. A reconstructed frame may then be generated and inserted into the video sequence, replacing the frame, for view on a display.
