Abstract for “Smartphone-based methods, systems”
“Arrangements that involve portable devices (e.g. smartphones and tablets computers) have been disclosed. One arrangement allows content creators to choose the software that will render their content. This ensures continuity between artistic intent and delivery. Another uses a device camera for identifying nearby subjects and taking actions based on that information. Some others rely on near field chips (RFID), which allow for the identification of objects and audio streams (e.g. music, voice). Some technologies improve the user interfaces for such devices. Some arrangements allow discovery of both audio-visual content without the user having to switch between them. These devices can also be used for shopping, text entry and vision-based discoveries. Other improvements include architectural ones, such as those relating to evidence-based machines and blackboard systems. Other technologies include computational photography. There are many other features and arrangements that can be added to the photos.
