International Classification:

H04N 7/12

US Classification:

37524016, 37524012

Abstract:

A processing device and method are provided for capturing images, via an image-capturing component of a processing device, and determining a motion of the processing device. An adaptive search center technique may be employed to determine a search center with respect to multiple equal-sized regions of an image frame, based on previously estimated motion vectors. One of several fast block matching methods may be used, based on one or more conditions, to match a block of pixels of one image frame with a second block of pixels of a second image. Upon matching blocks of pixels, motion vectors of the multiple equal-sized regions may be estimated. The motion may be determined, based on the estimated motion vectors, and an associated action may be performed. Various embodiments may implement techniques to distinguish motion blur from de-focus blur and to determine a change in lighting condition.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 727, 705 712

Abstract:

A user interface for building a componentized workflow model. Each step of the workflow is modeled as an activity that has metadata to describe design time aspects, compile time aspects, and runtime aspects of the workflow step. A user selects and arranges the activities to create the workflow via the user interface. The metadata associated with each of the activities in the workflow is collected to create a persistent representation of the workflow. Users extend the workflow model by authoring custom activities.

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715784, 715760, 715768, 715790, 715863

Abstract:

A user interface (UI) system calculates movements in a multi-layer graphical user interface. The UI system receives user input corresponding to gestures on a touchscreen. The UI system calculates a movement of a first layer in a first direction (e. g. , a horizontal direction) at a first movement rate. The UI system calculates a movement of a second layer substantially parallel to the movement of the first layer, at a second movement rate that differs from the first movement rate. The UI system calculates a movement (e. g. , a vertical movement) in a direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction, in a UI element of one of the layers.

US Classification:

455566, 455 304, 4551584, 715717, 715716

Abstract:

An integrated media user interface is described. In an implementation, a user interface is output that includes a plurality of representations of media, each of the media rendered by the mobile device through execution of a respective one of a plurality of applications. Responsive to selection of at least one of the representations, a corresponding application is located to render the media represented by the at least one said representation. The media represented by the selected representation is rendered through execution of the located application.

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

705008000

Abstract:

An ink-enabled user interface for building a componentized workflow model. A touch screen display device allows each step of the workflow to be modeled as an activity that has metadata to describe design time aspects, compile time aspects, and runtime aspects of the workflow step. A user selects and arranges the activities via the touch screen device to create the workflow via user interfaces or application programming interfaces. The metadata associated with each of the activities in the workflow is collected to create a persistent representation of the workflow. Users extend the workflow model by authoring custom activities.

US Classification:

717124000

Abstract:

Workflow debugging. A debug engine integrated with an external development tool debugging framework sets breakpoints directly on workflow activities and stops execution of the workflow at each of the breakpoints. The state of the workflow activity at the breakpoint is displayed. The debug engine extracts source code of the workflow for debugging at the source code level.

US Classification:

345173, 345474, 715863

Abstract:

A user interface (UI) system calculates movements in a multi-layer graphical user interface. The UI system receives user input corresponding to gestures on a touchscreen. The UI system calculates a movement of a first layer in a first direction (e.g., a horizontal direction) at a first movement rate. For example, the first movement rate can be substantially equal to the movement rate of a gesture made by a user's finger or other object on the touchscreen. The UI system calculates movements of other layers substantially parallel to the movement of the first layer, at movement rates that differ from the first movement rate.
