Abstract

Systems and methods for presenting location related information after a user arrives at a place. In an aspect, when a user gazes at a display of a standby device, information presentation begins. In other aspects, when a user shakes a device or says certain words to a device, and then gazes at it, a presentation starts.

Claims (30)

1. A method performed for executing or implementing a command via an electronic device,

wherein said electronic device is a portable device, a gadget, a device integrated with another apparatus, or a standalone device, comprising:

1) receiving at said electronic device a voice input from a user using voice recognition techniques;

2) ascertaining said voice input using a plurality of sensing techniques, wherein said plurality of sensing techniques includes determining whether said voice input comprises a name of said electronic device and whether said voice input matches a given profile or given conditions;

3) turning on a gaze-sensing system from an inactive or standby state when it is determined that said voice input matches said given profile or said given conditions;

4) sensing said user's gaze direction via said gaze-sensing system and determining whether said user looks at a direction toward said electronic device after turning on said gaze-sensing system; and

5) executing or implementing said command via said electronic device when it is detected that said user looks at a direction toward said electronic device within a given time period after said voice input is received or when said voice input comprises said name.

2. The method according to claim 1 further including turning on said gaze-sensing system in predefined conditions and executing or implementing said command via said electronic device when it is detected that said user looks at a direction toward said electronic device during a time period when said voice input is being received.

3. The method according to claim 1 further including executing or implementing said command via said electronic device when it is detected that said user looks at a direction toward said electronic device and said voice input doesn't include said name.

4. The method according to claim 1 further including turning on said gaze-sensing system before receiving said voice input in predefined conditions and executing or implementing said command when it is detected that said user looks at a direction toward said electronic device before or during the ascertaining step.

5. A method performed for executing or implementing a command via an electronic device,

wherein said electronic device is a portable device, a gadget, a device integrated with another apparatus, or a standalone device, comprising:

1) detecting at said electronic device a voice input from a user using voice recognition techniques;

2) ascertaining said voice input using a plurality of sensing techniques,

wherein said plurality of sensing techniques includes determining whether said voice input comprises a name of said electronic device and whether said voice input matches a given profile or given conditions;

3) turning on a gaze sensor from an inactive or standby state after it is determined that said voice input matches said given profile or said given conditions;

4) sensing said user via said gaze sensor and determining whether said user looks at a direction toward said electronic device after turning on said gaze sensor; and

5) executing or implementing said command via said electronic device after it is detected that said user looks at a direction toward said electronic device within a given time period after said voice input is received or after it is detected that said voice input comprises said name.

6. The method according to claim 5 further including turning on said gaze sensor in predefined conditions and executing or implementing said command via said electronic device after it is detected that said user looks at a direction toward said electronic device during a time period when said voice input is being received.

7. The method according to claim 5 further including executing or implementing said command via said electronic device after it is detected that said user looks at a direction toward said electronic device and said voice input doesn't include said name.

8. The method according to claim 5 further including turning on said gaze sensor before receiving said voice input in predefined conditions and executing or implementing said command when it is detected that said user looks at a direction toward said electronic device before or during the ascertaining step.

9. An electronic apparatus comprising: one or more processors; and one or more memory devices coupled to said one or more processors, wherein the apparatus is a portable device, a gadget, a device integrated with another apparatus, or a standalone device, said one or more processors operable when executing certain instructions to:

1) receive at the apparatus a voice input from a user using voice recognition techniques;

2) ascertain said voice input using a plurality of methods, wherein said plurality of methods includes determining whether said voice input comprises a name of the apparatus and whether said voice input matches a given profile or given conditions;

3) turn on a gaze-sensing system from an inactive or standby state when it is determined that said voice input matches said given profile or said given conditions;

4) sense said user's gaze direction via said gaze-sensing system and determine whether said user looks at a direction toward the apparatus; and

5) execute or implement a command via the apparatus when it is detected that said user looks at a direction toward the apparatus within a given time period after said voice input is received or when said voice input comprises said name.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 wherein said gaze-sensing system is turned on in predefined conditions and said command is executed or implemented when it is detected that said user looks at a direction toward the apparatus during a time period when said voice input is being received.

11. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein said command is executed or implemented when it is detected that said user looks at a direction toward the apparatus and said voice input doesn't include said name.

12. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein said gaze-sensing system is turned on before receiving said voice input in predefined conditions and said command is executed or implemented when it is detected that said user looks at a direction toward the apparatus before or during the ascertaining step.
