A method of creating an editable image and editable text from a hand-drawn or other static two-dimensional diagram may include receiving a raw image from an image acquisition device; modifying the raw image to a modified image to reduce noise, normalize raw image data, and reduce pixels; recognizing horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines in the modified image using a line recognizer; connecting the lines in the modified image to form connected lines using a connector that detects and joins proximally positioned terminal ends of the lines in the modified image; recognizing areas bounded by the connected lines as bounded objects using a bounded object recognizer; and/or identifying and classifying the bounded objects using an object identifier.

A RFID tag includes logic to compare information in a received signal with conditional response criteria, and to respond to the received signal with an RFID only if the information satisfies the conditional response criteria.

Conditional RFID

A server determines whether a the stored on a computing device matches a file stored on the server by comparing hash values for a first portion of the files. Based on the comparing, the server determines whether to upload the first portion of the file. The server uploads second portion of the file. The server generates the file for download by appending the first portion of the file stored on the server to the second portion of the file uploaded from the computing device.

File upload based on hash value comparison

Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to determining video to play based on audio. Videos associated with the audio are determined. One of the videos to play with the audio is determined based on analysis.

Determine video to play with audio

A RFID tag includes an RF transceiver; logic to operate the RF transceiver to respond to a received signal with a unique radio frequency id; logic to compare information in the received signal with conditional response criteria; and logic to determine if data has been received and written into a writable memory area by the RFID tag, and to respond to the received signal only if the data has been received and stored in the writable memory area and matches the conditional response criteria.

Providing a map and/or directions to a visitor to a facility may include and/or involve a wireless communication device signaling its presence at a location in a facility, and communicating to the wireless communication device a map of the facility indicating the location. This may include and/or involve communicating to the wireless device directions to and/or from the location to a destination within the facility.

Mobile location and map acquisition

A device accessible via a wireless service network includes logic to receive digital frames from a wireless communication device, to identify digital frames that are suitable tiles for a digital panorama, to create a digital panorama from the identified frames, and to associate the panorama with one or more locations on a digital map.

Panoramic scene capture using a mobile wireless device

Systems and methods for presenting search results based on relevancy in an interactive media guidance application are disclosed. After performing a user-initiated or automatic search for media content, the interactive media guidance application determines which of the hits are most relevant to the user. The guidance application then displays, or visually identifies, the relevant items. Some embodiments employ using different display arrangements based on the number of relevant items. Some embodiments display the relevant items in recommendation lists or hot lists.

Presenting media guidance search results based on relevancy

A wireless service network includes logic to receive one or more requests for temporary dialable numbers from wireless devices, and logic to determine temporary wireless numbers and to provide the temporary wireless numbers to the wireless devices in response to the requests.
