摘要： Arrangements involving portable devices (e.g., smartphones and tablet computers) are disclosed. One arrangement enables a content creator to select software with which that creator's content should be rendered—assuring continuity between artistic intention and delivery. Another utilizes a device camera to identify nearby subjects, and take actions based thereon. Others rely on near field chip (RFID) identification of objects, or on identification of audio streams (e.g., music, voice). Some technologies concern improvements to the user interfaces associated with such devices. Others involve use of these devices in connection with shopping, text entry, sign language interpretation, and vision-based discovery. Still other improvements are architectural in nature, e.g., relating to evidence-based state machines, and blackboard systems. Yet other technologies concern use of linked data in portable devices—some of which exploit GPU capabilities. Still other technologies concern computational photography. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.
摘要翻译：公开了涉及便携式设备（例如，智能电话和平板电脑）的安排。一种安排使得内容创作者可以选择应该呈现创作者内容的软件，从而确保艺术意图与传递之间的连续性。另一个使用设备相机识别附近的主题，并基于此采取行动。其他人依靠近场芯片（RFID）识别对象，或者识别音频流（例如，音乐，语音）。一些技术涉及与这样的设备相关联的用户界面的改进。其他涉及使用这些设备与购物，文本输入，手语解释和基于视觉的发现相关联。还有其他改进是建筑性质的，例如涉及基于证据的状态机和黑板系统。其他技术还涉及在便携式设备中使用链接数据，其中一些利用了GPU功能。其他技术还涉及计算机摄影。还详细介绍了各种各样的其他功能和安排。

摘要： Metadata determines treatment of content by automated systems, including “user generated content” web sites. The metadata may be conveyed with the content or may be determined by other techniques, including systems based on digital watermarking or content fingerprinting. In some arrangements, treatment depends on the temporal length of a content excerpt that matches a pre-existing work. In others, treatment depends on popularity—either of the content, or a pre-existing work from which it was derived. A great variety of other factors and contexts can also be considered. Automated tools to preliminarily identify possible “fair use” can be realized; further determination may be made by human evaluators (including crowd-source approaches).
摘要翻译：元数据通过自动化系统来确定对内容的处理，包括“用户生成的内容”网站。元数据可以与内容一起传送，或者可以由包括基于数字水印或内容指纹的系统的其他技术来确定。在一些安排中，治疗取决于与预先存在的工作匹配的内容摘录的时间长度。在其他方面，治疗取决于流行度 - 内容的任何一个，或者是从中得出的预先存在的工作。还可以考虑各种各样的其他因素和背景。可以实现初步识别可能“合理使用”的自动化工具; 人类评估者可能进一步确定（包括人群来源方法）。

摘要： The present technology concerns improvements to smart phones and related sensor-equipped systems. Some embodiments relate to smart phone-assisted commuting, e.g., by bicycle. Some involve novel human-computer interactions, e.g., using tactile grammars—some of which may be customized by users. Others involve spoken clues, e.g., by which a user can assist a smart phone in identifying what portion of imagery captured by a smart phone camera should be processed, or identifying what type of image processing should be conducted. Some arrangements include the degradation of captured content information in accordance with privacy rules, which may be location-dependent, or based on the unusualness of the captured content, or responsive to later consultation of the stored content information by the user. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.
摘要翻译：目前的技术涉及智能手机和相关传感器装备系统的改进。一些实施例涉及智能电话辅助通勤，例如通过自行车。一些涉及新颖的人机交互，例如使用触觉语法，其中一些可以由用户定制。其他涉及口语线索，例如，用户可以通过该线索帮助智能电话识别应该处理由智能电话摄像机捕获的图像的哪一部分，或者识别应该进行什么类型的图像处理。一些布置包括根据可能取决于位置的隐私规则或者基于所捕获的内容的不寻常性，或者响应于用户对所存储的内容信息的后续咨询，所捕获的内容信息的恶化。还详细介绍了各种各样的其他功能和安排。
