Title: Text auto-completion
Inventor: BELL DAVID ROWLAND
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 2014-07-28
Abstract: A central text matching component receives the text data and metadata from data collection components. A database of the text data and text metadata is maintained by the central text matching component. A sending component sends text entered by the user in a text-entry field of an application and any text metadata associated with the entered text to the central text matching component. A comparison component 230 compares the entered text and associated text metadata to text data and text metadata in the database and locates text strings matching the text data and metadata. A weighted ordering component 240 ranks the matching text strings using the text metadata and its configuration settings. A completion component completes the entered text at the text-entry field based on a selection of one of the located matching text strings. An updating component updates text metadata of the matching text string in the database to reflect the selection and a further updating component updates the configuration settings of the weighted ordering component based on the updated text metadata.

Title: System and method for processing and retrieving digital content
Inventor: CHARLES EDWARD HENDERSON
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2015-04-08
Abstract: A system for processing and retrieving digital content, preferably digital photographic images. The system most usefully provides a commercial professional photography solution whereby modern facial recognition and mapping techniques are applied to high-resolution digital images captured by professional photographers, for example during an event such as a wedding, and a database is created which correlates the digital identifiers or face maps which are established for each human face identified within the digital image to the image itself. This database provides a look up function whereby it is possible to extract all the digital images in which a particular individual is pictured. In practice, any individual attending the event and having appeared in one or possibly many earlier captured digital images can visit a stand or kiosk provided by the photographer which is provided with a display screen and comparatively low-resolution camera, web-cam or digital imaging device, both of which are connected to a local computer which hosts or is in communication with the database. Despite the imaging device at the kiosk being of comparatively much lower quality than the camera of the professional photographer, importantly the face of individual visiting the stand can be captured thereby in relative close-up, whereupon the computer can apply the identical facial recognition and mapping techniques used on the much higher quality digital images, and produce a digital identifier or face map for that individual which can then be used in a database query, the results thereof being all the stored, high-quality digital images (or references thereto) in which that individual appears.

Title: Methods and systems for establishing a mode of communication between particular users based on perceived lulls in media assets
Inventor: TANG YOUNG A
IPC: H04N21/4788
Filed: 2015-04-28
Abstract: Communication is established between first and second users when a media asset, e.g. video, is perceived to be in a lull or quiet period. A determination is made whether a first user perceives a media segment as uninteresting based on a first user profile (904) and a further determination is made whether a second user perceives the media segment as dull or unexciting based on the second user profile (908). In response to both users being bored, a communication (e.g. overlaid chat window) is established between the first user and the second user (910). The chat window may be displayed on a different device to that displaying the media. Determining whether a user perceives media to be dull may comprise determining if the user is using social media unrelated to the viewed media. Also disclosed is presenting either the first, second, or first and second user with an advertisement during a perceived quiet period. This could be in addition to establishing communication between the users.

Title: Pedal assembly piezoelectric generator
Inventor: ALEKSEJS IRINICS
IPC: H02N2/18
Filed: 2016-09-22
Abstract: A pedal assembly (100, Fig.1) for generating electrical power in a vehicle is presented. The pedal assembly includes a pedal (125, Fig.1) which mechanically transfers the pressure exerted on the pedal into a linear motion of a shaft 210. The linear motion of the shaft 210 rotates a cylinder (220, Fig.2a). When the rotating cylinder (220, Fig.2a) applies mechanical stress on a piezoelectric transducer 310, a voltage is generated from the piezoelectric transducer 310. The mechanical stress may be the result of uniformly spaced protrusions 225 on the cylinder (220, Fig.2a) being in mechanical contact with a press element 320 during rotation, which would in turn apply mechanical stress to the piezoelectric transducer 310. A preferred method of providing rotational motion to the cylinder (220, Fig.2a) is via a plurality of ball bearings being guided along raceways incorporated with the cylinder and shaft 210. A harvesting circuit 340 may also be included.

Title: Image compensation for an occluding direct-view augmented reality system
Inventor: GAVIN STUART PETER MILLER
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2016-11-18
Abstract: An occluding direct-view augmented reality (AR) system overlays synthetic graphics (104) over a directly viewed real world scene (102) using an emissive display layer, as well as attenuation graphics provided between the emissive display layer and a real-world scene to block light of the real-world scene from the emissive graphics. Approaches are described to adapt the display provided by the emissive and/or attenuation layers to reduce light and/or dark artefacts (e.g. halos) in the final image presented to the viewer (110). These include dilating and defocussing (fig. 11) an attenuation graphic based on an attribute of an eye of a viewer, such as size of a pupil, to produce an expanded attenuation graphic that blocks additional light to compensate for an unintended light region. Also, a dark region compensation module camouflages an unintended dark region with a replica graphic (fig. 12B) in the emissive display layer that reproduces an appearance of the real-world scene in the unintended dark region. A camera provides the light data used to generate the replica graphic.
