Generally, an artificial intelligence model is trained based on input from a user to identify preferences of the user for media content, such as images. Camera settings are automatically applied to media content based on the identified preferences of the user so that the user is automatically presented with media content displayed in accordance with his or her preferences.

Automatically customizing camera settings for users

An electronic device, method, and computer program product provide a predictable external finger area on a 'rollable display device' for fingerprint authentication that is available at least in both a fully retracted position and fully extended position. The electronic device selectively operates a translation mechanism to slide a blade assembly relative to a device housing between the fully retracted position and the fully extended position. The blade assembly has a blade slidably coupled to a device housing and having a flexible display attached to the blade. The blade assembly has first and second fingerprint-on-display (FOD) areas that are optically transmissive, enabling light to pass through the blade assembly. While retracted, both fingerprint scanners are aligned FOD areas for use while looking at either the front or back portions of the flexible display. While extended, the front fingerprint scanner is aligned with the second FOD area while viewing the flexible display.

An electronic device, method, and computer program product manage concurrent use of different portions of an adaptive rollable display device enabling the electronic device to differently support two local users. A first image is received from a first image capturing device of the electronic device. The first image capturing device is disposed in one of a front side and a back side of a device housing of the electronic device and has an associated field of view extending from a respective side of the device housing. First user content is generated based at least in part on the first image and presented on a corresponding one of a front display and back display(s) corresponding to the first user. Second user content is generated based at least in part on the first image and presented on another one of the front display and the back display(s) corresponding to a second user.

A communication device, method and computer program product provide multiple simultaneous camera previews of different imaging modes of the same image. The communication device includes a communication subsystem that receives a photographic image stream from a second communication device. The communication device includes a display driver that presents content on a display device. A controller of the communication device is communicatively coupled to the display driver. The controller simultaneously presents the more than one camera previews on the display device. The communication device presents a particular imaging mode of the photographic image stream corresponding to the particular camera preview that is user selected. The communication device transmits, via the communication subsystem to the second communication device, a report of a user selection by the at least one user input device, of the particular imaging mode of the photographic visual stream that is being presented on the display device.

An electronic device, computer program product, and method perform face tracking within an image stream captured by an image capturing device for preview on a second display device. At least one first display device presents a first preview image of the image stream via a first graphical user interface (GUI). The first GUI has a first aspect ratio. A controller of the electronic device tracks a primary face of a subject within the image stream. A second display device presents a second preview image via a second GUI. The controller generates the second preview image from the first preview image by cropping around the primary face to a second aspect ratio of the second GUI.

Techniques for media capture based on media specifications are described and are implementable to enable media content to be captured and/or obtained in compliance with particular media specifications. The described implementations, for example, utilize specified media specifications (e.g., media constraints) to be utilized as part of a media capture process. For instance, default media capture settings of a media capture device are modified to enable the media capture device to capture an instance of media content that complies with specific media specifications.

Media capture based on media specifications

An electronic device includes one or more processors, a display, a primary energy storage device, and an auxiliary energy delivery device. The auxiliary energy delivery device selectively delivers energy to the primary energy storage device. When this occurs, the one or more processors present an icon at least partially superimposed upon a graphical representation of the primary energy storage device on the display.

Methods and devices for presenting auxiliary energy delivery indicia on a display

A method includes receiving initial training data associated with a trigger phrase in a device and training a voice model in the device using the initial training data. The voice model is used to identify a plurality of voice commands in the device initiated using the trigger phrase. Collection of additional training data from the plurality of voice commands and retraining of the voice model in the device are iteratively performed using the additional training data. A device includes a microphone and a processor to receive initial training data associated with a trigger phrase using the microphone, train a voice model device using the initial training data, use the voice model to identify a plurality of voice commands initiated using the trigger phrase, and iteratively collect additional training data from the plurality of voice commands and retrain the voice model in the device using the additional training data.

Retraining voice model for trigger phrase using training data collected during usage

A method includes receiving a plurality of voice commands in a device, the commands including a first trigger phrase and a command phrase, identifying a plurality of occurrences of a particular command phrase in the plurality of voice commands, configuring a second trigger phrase in the device based on the particular command phrase, identifying a subsequent voice command including the second trigger phrase in the device, and executing the particular command phrase on the device responsive to the second trigger phrase.

Identifying and configuring custom voice triggers

A method in an electronic device includes detecting, with one or more processors of the electronic device operating with an attachment having a predefined functionality, whether a function of the predefined functionality is operational on the electronic device. When the function is operational on the electronic device, the one or more processors can cause the following: an auxiliary energy storage device carried by the attachment to deliver power to the electronic device; a power management control circuit carried by the electronic device to power the one or more processors with the power delivered from the auxiliary energy storage device; and the power management control circuit to preclude charging of a primary energy storage device carried by the electronic device with the power delivered from the auxiliary energy storage device.

Methods and systems for an electronic device operable with an attachment that prevent charging of a primary energy storage device from power delivered by the attachment based upon whether the attachment is operating a function

Systems and methods for autopairing a base portable electronic device and a dockable mod device in a modular device system includes detecting at the base device that the mod device has been docked to the base device, wherein such docking forms a wired connection between the base device and the mod device. Wireless communication parameters are received from the mod device at the base device over the wired connection, and the base device detects that the mod device has been undocked from the base device. The received wireless communication parameters are used thereafter at the base device to communicate wirelessly with the mod device.

Mod autopairing in modular device system

A system and method of determining whether a device user is driving provide an improved ability to switch between a normal mode and a driving mode with fewer false positives and false negatives. Bluetooth connectivity and motion sensor readings are fused to make the drive mode determination and to set the timing of nay switch. In an embodiment, Bluetooth devices correlated with driving are used to modify the confidence level and the decision threshold associated with sensor input. When a node having a driving correlation higher than a particular threshold is connected to a device, a lower threshold is applied to the motion sensor input for entering drive mode and a higher threshold is applied for exiting drive mode. Similarly, when a user device is not connected to any highly correlated node, default thresholds may be used for entering and exiting the drive mode.

Multifactor drive mode determination

An electronic device includes one or more processors, a touch-sensitive display and an audio output operative in a first mode to produce an audible output at a first output level, and operable in a discreet mode operative to produce the audible output at a second output level that is less than a first output level. The one or more processors can present a user actuation target or a portion of a notification at a location on the touch sensitive display. The processors can then detect an object proximately located with touch-sensitive display at the location and a lifting gesture lifting the electronic device from a first elevation to a second elevation. In response, the one or more processors can cause the audio output to deliver notification details as the audible output from an audio output device.
