Inventors:

Steven Weiner - Alamo CA, US

International Classification:

G04B 47/00

US Classification:

368010000

Abstract:

A timer cap is movable relative to a container holding a product to be applied to the skin, hair or other body part. Programs in a control microprocessor in the timer cap are actuated by opening and closing the container by the timer cap to initiate different programs relating to the time periods associated with application and usage of the product.

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345156

Abstract:

Methods are disclosed to support adaptive interaction with legacy software applications, without a need for rewriting those applications. The methods are for use with an interactive electronic system including a processor, a display, and an input device with user-manipulated controls. When the legacy application is executed, a supplemental software program, such as a plugin, is also executed and is utilized in order to identify currently relevant interactive features of the legacy application during execution. Functionality is dynamically assigned to the various user-manipulated controls based on the identified features. In one embodiment, detection of objects (particularly the user's hands) proximate to the input controls is also employed in determining the assignment of functionality and/or in displaying a visual representation to the user of the available interactive choices. In another embodiment, the user-manipulated input controls are dynamically and physically reconfigured under control of the processor based on the identified features.

International Classification:

G06F 3/02
G06F 3/044

US Classification:

345169, 345174, 345168

Abstract:

A hardware input device is disclosed in which at least two modes of manual user input can be provided within the same surface area of the device, including actuating or pressing multiple keys or buttons etc. as well as touch and/or gesturing by the user. A disclosed embodiment has actuated keys/buttons with associated sensors for detecting actuation; a second set of sensors for detecting proximity e.g. of a user's extremities is co-located on the input device. In one embodiment, infrared sensors for proximity detection are integrated with the traditional plastic keys/buttons of a computer keyboard or other personal electronics device. In some embodiments, the elevation of actuated input elements can be controlled by a processor, so that the physical configuration of keys/buttons available to the user can be dynamically reconfigured under program control. Methods are disclosed for using the input device to facilitate a heads-up style of interaction.

International Classification:

G10L 17/00

US Classification:

704249, 704246, 704E17001

Abstract:

Disclosed embodiments provide for personalizing a voice user interface of a remote multi-user service. A voice user interface for the remote multi-user service can be provided and voice information from an identified user can be received at the multi-user service through the voice user interface. A language model specific to the identified user can be retrieved that models one or more language elements. The retrieved language model can be applied to interpret the received voice information and a response can be generated by the multi-user service in response the interpreted voice information.
