Title: Audio messaging by touching a contact on the touch screen
Inventor: VISHAL GUPTA
IPC: H04W4/12
Filed: 2015-08-08
Abstract: The present invention relates to system (100) and method for providing ultra-quick audio/video messaging phonebook and delivery. The system (100) includes an application server communicating with one or more communication devices (D1, D2) having a phonebook application installed therein. The phonebook application configures device to displays all contacts including registered and unregistered contacts available in the memory (401). When a user selects and holds a contact, application initiates a short duration audio/video messages recording for the selected contact (403) and detect whether the selected contact is a registered contact number or unregistered contact number of phonebook directory application (4040). If selected contact number recognize as a registered contact, application automatically transmits recorded message to the selected contact via application server upon release of hold to contact (406). If selected contacted recognize as unregistered contact number, application automatically transmits a message containing an unique web link to phonebook directory web portal providing direct web access to recorded audio/video message. The system (100) also provides smart delivery option of audio/video recorded message on recipient's device (405). The system (100) detects present status of recipient's device based on information received from device sensors and user inputs, for playing audio/video message. In responses to detected status, an audio or visual alert is provided with further possibilities of hands free contextual engagement on the side of the recipient's device.

Patent GB-2551291-A (GB)
Title: Corner detection
Inventor: CORMAC BRICK
IPC: G06T7/136
Filed: 2013-05-23
Abstract: The application involves processing an image to detect a corner including the steps of: generating a vector of pixels associated with a candidate pixel, generating a comparison vector based on pixels proximate to the candidate pixel using a compare and move unit(CMU) and when the number of pixels in the comparison vector satisfy a threshold the CMU generates a vector based on the comparison vector and executing a parallel AND operation on the vector generated based on the comparison and one or more templates. It further discloses a multi-stage method of detecting corners in an image. The first stage of the process is to exclude pixels that cannot be corners by comparing the candidate pixel with a set of non-contiguous pixels around the candidate pixel to determine whether the difference exceeds a first threshold then counting the results and if the count does not exceed a second threshold then that candidate pixel is eliminated as potential corner (Figure 4 not shown). For each potential corner pixel each pixel in a contiguous pattern surrounding it is then compared to two thresholds and two vectors are generated based on the results of this comparison. The first vector represents the results of comparing whether the pixels in the pattern exceed the candidate pixel by a threshold value and the second is the result of comparing whether the pixels in the pattern are lower than the candidate pixel by a second threshold value. These vectors are then reduced to scalar values and the individual bits in each scalar are counted/added and if the counts are individually less than a value (suitably 9 or more) then the candidate pixel is discarded. A vector is then generated from the scalar values of those pixels greater than the candidate pixel by a threshold and this is compared with a vector containing each possible combination of pixel arrangements that could constitute a corner(see figure 6 for example) with a match indicating the pixel is a corner. Alternatively a vector mask may be generated from the aforementioned scalar by creating vector were the elements are all ones if the corresponding point exceeded the threshold or all zeroes otherwise.

Title: Processing visual information for display on a screen
Inventor: IAN CHRISTOPHER DOIDGE
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2017-12-08
Abstract: The amount of image data to be transmitted from a display controller to one or more display screens is reduced to facilitate wireless VR/AR applications for head mounted displays. Image data is separated into a first central image area that corresponds to a fovea region of a viewer’s eye in proximity to a screen that is rendered with high definition and a peripheral area whose image data is either discarded entirely or discarded and replaced with a reduced data volume. Reducing the data volume in the peripheral area facilitates high speed wireless data transmission to the display screen. The central view perceived by the eye may be circular or oval to correspond with the fovea visual field of an eye of a viewer and the peripheral area may be blurred or omitted to reduce viewer disorientation effects. Two display areas may be provided with shapes corresponding to each eye of a viewer to provide an immersive 3D virtual reality display.
