Abstract:

In at least one embodiment, a profile/content system generates, accesses, and/or serves a compilation profile for targeting content to identifiable communication devices (“ICDs”). The compilation profile can include data associated with a user of an ICD, and the profile/content system obtains the data from multiple data sources. The data sources can include a particular ICD and can also include particular applications running on the ICD and other data sources such as web sites and data aggregators that store data associated with the IDC user. The profile/content system can operate in a variety of modes depending upon a type of request received by the profile/content system. Exemplary modes are: (1) a direct content provision mode, (2) an indirect content provision mode, and (3) a compilation profile provision mode. In at least one embodiment, in the direct content provision mode, the profile/content system receives a request for content directly via an ICD.

Abstract:

An augmented reality device comprising a camera, an augmented reality display, and a controller. The augmented reality display is configured to display the real-world environment and one or more virtual augmentations. The controller is configured to measure, via determination of hue, a color profile for a displayed portion of the real-world environment visible via the augmented reality display and imaged via the camera. A complementary palette of user interface colors is selected, each of such user interface colors having at least a predefined difference in hue relative to one or more colors in the color profile. An augmented reality feature is visually presented via the augmented reality display at a render location and with a render color from the complementary palette of user interface colors, the render color having at least the predefined difference in hue relative to a real-world environment color corresponding to the render location.
