Abstract:

In some embodiments, a processor of the mobile computing device may receive an input for performing a function with respect to content at the mobile device in which the content at the mobile device is segmented into at least a first command layer having one or more objects and a second command layer having one or more objects. The processor may determine whether the received input is associated with a first object of the first command layer or a second object of the second command layer. The processor may determine a function to be performed on one of the first or second objects based on whether the first command layer or the second command layer is determined to be associated with the received input, and the processor may perform the determined function on the first object or the second object.

G06F 3/16

Abstract:

Techniques are provided for integrating mobile device and extended reality experiences. Extended reality technologies can include virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), etc. In some examples, a synthetic (or virtual) representation of a device (e.g., a mobile device, such as a mobile phone or other type of device) can be generated and displayed along with VR content being displayed by a VR device (e.g., a head-mounted display (HMD)). In another example, content from the device (e.g., visual content being displayed and/or audio content being played by the device) can be output along with VR content being displayed by the VR device. In another example, one or more images captured by a camera of the device and/or audio obtained by a microphone of the device can be obtained from the device by a virtual reality device and can be output by the virtual reality device.

International Classification:

G06F 3/044

H03K 17/96

Abstract:

Methods, devices, non-transitory processor-readable media of various embodiments may enable contextual operation of a mobile computing device including a capacitive input sensor, which may be a rear area capacitive input sensor. In various embodiments, a processor of a mobile computing device including a rear area capacitive input sensor may monitor sensor measurements and generate an interaction profile based on the sensor measurements. The processor of the mobile computing device may determine whether the interaction profile is inconsistent with in-hand operation and may increase sensitivity of the capacitive input sensor in response to determining that the interaction profile is inconsistent with in-hand operation.

International Classification:

G09G 5/10
G09G 5/04

Abstract:

In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) coupled to a display screen enters into a reduced blue light (RBL) mode. The UE determines, while operating in accordance with the RBL mode, a degree of blue light reduction in at least a portion of a display frame to be output on the display screen using at least one RBL rule from a set of RBL rules that is based upon one or more of (i) application-specific information of an application that is contributing image data to the portion of the display frame, and (ii) content-specific information that characterizes the image data in the portion of the display frame. The UE selectively reduces the blue light in the at least a portion of the display frame based on the determining. The UE sends the display frame with the selectively reduced blue light portion to the display screen for output.

G06F 3/0482
G06F 3/0488

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses for providing dynamically positioned UI controls are disclosed. In one aspect, the method comprises performing a calibration a client device to facilitate ergonomic placement of at least one control element associated with a virtual control on the display. Calibration comprises prompting a user to grip the device in a first orientation. Then one or more grip locations at which the device is being gripped while in the first orientation are detected. The calibration also comprises prompting the user to touch a region of the display while maintaining the orientation and the grip. A touch input is detected within the display region subsequent to the prompting. Then, subsequent to the calibration, the at least one control element can be displayed on the display based on the calibration.
