A graphic recognition-based interactive method and electronic device. The interactive method comprises: acquiring a first image to be analyzed (); recognizing the first image to be analyzed to obtain a recognition result (); playing a narration audio file associated with the recognition result (); playing a question audio file associated with the interactive content of the first image to be analyzed based on the recognition result after the narration audio file is played (); acquiring a second image to be analyzed (); determining whether a feature graphic exists in the second image to be analyzed (); if the feature graphic exists in the second image to be analyzed, determining whether the feature graphic overlaps with an interactive region, wherein the interactive region is an area corresponding to an answer to the question in the question audio file (); playing a correct audio file if the feature graphic and the interactive region are overlapped (); and playing a wrong audio file if the feature graphic and the interactive region are not overlapped (). The said method provides increased interactivity.

The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for human face image processing. A specific embodiment of the method comprises: locating facial feature points in a human face image, extracting an image of a human face region according to a range defined by the facial feature points, transforming a facial image of the source image according to a face shape of the target image, transforming the facial image of the source image according to a complexion distribution of a facial region of the target image, and obtaining a new human face by combining the facial image of the source image and a facial image of the target image. The embodiment achieves a facial image processing with higher similarity to the user in the image, of simple steps, small calculation and high real-time performance.

Expandable application representation techniques are described. The techniques may include support of an expandable tile that may function as an intermediary within a root level (e.g., start menu or screen) of a file system. The expandable tile, for instance, may be output via a gesture to gain additional information that was not included in an unexpanded version of the tile, may be utilized to provide inputs to an application such that a user, and so on. Thus, this may support non-modal interaction by a user. Techniques are also described in which the expanded representation is included in a taskbar, which may also be used for non-modal interaction, sending of content represented in the representation to a device or application, continuation of interaction initiated with the representation by a mobile computing device, and so on. Expandable tile techniques may also be utilized to support interaction between shells of an operating system, such as a desktop and immersive shell. Further description of these and other examples involving and not involving an expandable tile are also contemplated.

Expandable application representation

Proposed are a method and apparatus for pushing information, the method comprises: detecting face information, and acquiring control information; acquiring pushing information according to the face information and the control information; and presenting the pushing information.

Method and apparatus for pushing information

A head worn equipment and visual feedback method and device thereof. The head worn equipment includes: a support frame, an image acquiring component, a display component, and a processor. The image acquiring component and the display component are disposed on the support frame. When the head worn equipment is in use, the display component is within a visual perception range of a user. The image acquiring component is configured to acquire a captured image. The processor acquires the captured image acquired by the image acquiring component, determines an indication color for display on the basis of the captured image, and controls the display component to display the indication color, so as to indicate a viewing direction of the image acquiring component for the user.

Headset device and visual feedback method and apparatus thereof

An input device with a bendable support mechanism for a computing device is described. In one or more implementations, an input device includes a housing, input functionality available via a surface of the housing, and a support mechanism. The input functionality is configured to initiate one or more inputs that are configured to be communicatively coupled to a computing device to initiate one or more operations of the computing device. The support mechanism configured to assume a closed configuration in which a majority of the support mechanism is disposed within the housing and an open configuration in which the support mechanism is disposed outside of the housing and arranged as forming a bend to support a rear of a computing device having a slate configuration.

An input device include a deformable tip that is adjustable to define a shape tip configuration. Exemplary tip shapes may include multiple types of oil brushes or a Chinese brush, among other alternatives. In some cases, the deformable tip may be more rigid in a jammed tip configuration in which solid particles in a membrane are jammed together using a vacuum pump. In some examples, at least a portion of the deformable tip may be illuminated in a color to be used in the digital painting application.

Deformable input device

Proposed are a method and an apparatus for presenting information. The method includes: detecting an off-line user behavior, and acquiring user behavior data; if the user behavior data satisfies a pre-set condition, acquiring on-line resource information according to the user behavior data; and presenting the on-line resource information.

Method and apparatus for presenting information

Techniques including use of a slider cover for a computing device are described. In one or more implementations, the slider cover includes a cover body and a pair of hinge assemblies secured along opposing edges of the cover body. The hinge assemblies are designed to attach to a housing for a computing device having a pair of tracks extending along opposing edges of the housing. Engagement of the tracks with the hinge assemblies forms an attachment of the housing to the slider cover designed to enable the housing and slider cover to slide relative to one another in parallel planes and the housing to pivot around a pivot axis formed by the pair of hinge assemblies. Accordingly, manipulation of the housing relative to the slider cover may occur via the hinge assemblies to assume multiple different configurations for an apparatus that includes the slider cover.
