An apparatus includes a sensor for sensing an environment and a speaker. The apparatus also includes a display capable of displaying video information in multiple directions, wherein the display is configured to display video information in different directions based on information of an object sensed by the sensor. The speaker is configured to generate in multiple directions sound associated with the video information.

Apparatus and method for sensing an environment

The present disclosure relates to controlling engine of a vehicle. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, when it is determined that the vehicle has entered a deep water area, an engine start-stop function of the vehicle is disabled. The deep water area has a water depth which allows water to enter the engine of the vehicle or causes the engine of the vehicle to be susceptible to water inflow.

Controlling engine of vehicle

Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for collecting sounds associated with surveillance images. The method includes identifying a sound-making surveilled object in the surveillance images, the surveillance images being captured by a camera of a monitoring device; determining whether a sound acquiring device meets a preset condition corresponding to that a signal strength of the sounds collected by the sound acquiring device from the identified surveilled object is greater than a signal strength of the sounds collected by the monitoring device from the identified surveilled object; and, when determining that the sound acquiring device meets the preset condition, controlling the sound acquiring device to collect the sounds from the identified surveilled object.

Method and device for collecting sounds corresponding to surveillance images

A method for controlling playback, includes: obtaining a video file; determining whether a subject in the video file satisfies a predefined condition of variable speed playback; and in response to determining that the subject satisfies the predefined condition of variable speed playback, playing back the video file at a variable speed.

Method and device for controlling playback

A navigation method includes: obtaining status information of one or more tires of a vehicle; obtaining road condition information in real time; and performing a route navigation for the vehicle according to the status information, the road condition information, and a preset navigation strategy.

Navigation method and device

Aspects of the disclosure include a method for indicating a location of a first object by a wearable device. The method includes determining the first object; and, when a preset condition is satisfied, locating the first object and highlighting the first object on a display.

Method and device for recognizing object

The present disclosure relates to a method and device for providing object-finding information. The method is performed in an electronic device for finding an object and includes: when detecting that a preset loss event occurs, detecting device-relevant information of a surrounding device located around the electronic device; and sending the detected device-relevant information, as object-finding information, to a preset device.

Method and device for providing object-finding information

A method for a device to control playback, includes: obtaining a video file; determining a vision field of a user: and selecting, from the vision file, a video clip corresponding to the vision field of the user and playing back the video clip.

A method and an apparatus are provided for display control. In the method, the electronic device acquires an image including one or more observed objects. The electronic device determines whether an observed object is clearly visible for a user according to vision information of the user. When determining that the observed object is not clearly visible for the user, the electronic device displays an enlarged image including at least a portion of the observed object.

Method and apparatus for display control, electronic device

A photographing method for use in a device includes: monitoring a current time and determining whether the current time reaches a preset shooting time; taking a first picture of an object when it is determined that the current time reaches the preset shooting time; determining a difference between a first image in a preset area of the first picture and a second image in the preset area of a second picture taken at a previous preset shooting time, the preset area corresponding to the object; and saving the first picture if the determined difference is equal to or greater than a preset threshold value.

Photographing method and device

A method for locking a file includes: acquiring biological feature recognition information of a user, the biological feature recognition information including at least one of fingerprint information, voiceprint information, iris information, or face information; and locking a designated file using the biological feature recognition information.

Method and device for locking file

A method and an apparatus for adjusting photography parameters are provided. The method includes: determining a pupil size of a person; and adjusting one or more photography parameters according to the pupil size. The pupil size of the person is determined, and then one or more photography parameters such as the aperture size may be adjusted automatically according to the pupil size of the person. Since a current pupil size is subject to a light intensity in current surroundings, the photography parameters of a photographic device may be adjusted automatically and efficiently based on the pupil size.

Method and apparatus for adjusting photography parameters

Disclosed includes a method for controlling a personal transportation vehicle, the method being performed by a processor coupled with one or more driving motors of the personal transportation vehicle and with a turning control component and comprising: determining information about a height of an obstacle; determining, based on the information about the height of the obstacle, whether the personal transportation vehicle is capable of running over the obstacle; and after determining that the personal transportation vehicle is not capable of running over the obstacle: transmitting a first signal to the one or more driving motors to reduce a driving force, to cause the personal transportation vehicle to decelerate, and transmitting a second signal to disable the turning control component. As a result, the likelihood that one of the wheels of the vehicle becomes blocked by an obstacle can be reduced, and the safety of the vehicle operation can be improved.

Methods and apparatuses for controlling a personal transportation vehicle

The present disclosure discloses a method and a terminal device for processing an image. The method includes: acquiring an image; recognizing a face contained in the image; acquiring information of character features according to the face in the image; processing the image according to the information of character features; and obtaining the processed image. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by automatically recognizing the face in the image, and acquiring the information of character features thereby acquiring a cosmetic process mode corresponding to the information of character features, and then processing the image according to the selected cosmetic process mode, manual setting of cosmetic process parameters can be avoided and the efficiency of image processing can be improved.

Method, terminal device and storage medium for processing image

The present disclosure relates to a method for protecting a terminal device and the terminal device thereof. The method includes: obtaining status information of a terminal device plugged with an earphone; determining whether the status information meets a preset condition; and activating an alarm mode of the terminal device when the status information meets the preset condition. According to the present disclosure, given that activating the alarm mode of the terminal device is based on the status information of the terminal device, the alarm mode of the terminal device can be activated based on environment information of the terminal device without a user manually activating the alarm mode of the terminal device, therefore user experience is improved. Moreover, the security of the terminal device is further improved by avoiding an incident of the user forgetting to start the alarm mode, thus further protecting the terminal device.
