International Classification:

H04N 7/18

US Classification:

348 62, 348E07085

Abstract:

There is presented a system and method for providing real-time object recognition to a remote user. The system comprises a portable communication device including a camera, at least one client-server host device remote from and accessible by the portable communication device over a network, and a recognition database accessible by the client-server host device or devices. A recognition application residing on the client-server host device or devices is capable of utilizing the recognition database to provide real-time object recognition of visual imagery captured using the portable communication device to the remote user of the portable communication device. In one embodiment, a sighted assistant shares an augmented reality panorama with a visually impaired user of the portable communication device where the panorama is constructed from sensor data from the device.

International Classification:

H04L 12/58
G06F 3/0488

US Classification:

715788, 709206, 715781

Abstract:

Multiuser communication systems are presented. The disclosed systems include a database of communication room objects and a communication room management server. The management server can instantiate one or more of the room objects as a persistent meeting room through which users can share multimedia content. The meeting room can remain persistent independent of user participation. The system can further include a display manager capable of configuring a display of a user device into multiple display regions where each display region can render one or more types of multimedia room content. A user can, with a single gesture, rearrange the display regions under governance of the display manager.

Inventors:

Timothy Dorcey - Santa Monica CA, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04L 12/58
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides a system and method that generates and provides access to communication forums based on metadata associated with images. For example, when a first user captures an image with his or her computing device, the computing device will associate metadata with the image, which may include at least location information and time information. A control server having access to only the metadata may cluster the image individually or with one or more other images that were captured within a threshold proximate distance and a threshold proximate time of where and when the image was captured, respectively. The control server may associate a communication forum with the cluster, such that only users associated with images that are within the cluster are provided access to the communication forum. The user's computing device may then associate the communication forum with the image content stored on the user's computing device.

International Classification:

H04L 12/801
H04L 29/06
H04L 12/805

Abstract:

A method of allowing multiple devices to collaborate with content data is presented. The multiple devices can establish an interactive collaboration session via a multimedia protocol. The multimedia protocol allows users of the devices to share chat data, audio data, video data, or other types of data as they collaborate. Additionally, the users of the device can manipulate the content data in shared fashion by submitting one or more asynchronous commands. The commands are multiplexed into the multimedia protocol in a transparent manner. The devices within the group can extract the commands without disrupting the collaboration experience and then execute the commands to affect the content data.
