“I had the pleasure of working with Bill on my Apple team on camera modules for iPhone and iPod. Bill had sole procurement responsibilities for both existing product and new product introductions, with a spend well in excess of $500M annually. He was extremely successful in his dealings with both a diverse internal team and the most senior management players at suppliers throughout Asia, and instrumental in making Apple a world leader in mobile cameras. Bill was always well liked and respected by all his co-workers in an environment with very high expectations. His work ethic is second-to-none; he is results oriented and simply does what it takes every time. Given an opportunity, I would be delighted to work with Bill again.”

Video summarization using selected characteristics
Issued 11393208
Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for improving a playback of video data and generation of a video summary. For example, annotation data may be generated for individual video frames included in the video data to indicate content present in the individual video frames, such as faces, objects, pets, speech or the like. A video summary may be determined by calculating a priority metric for individual video frames based on the annotation data. In response to input indicating a face and a…

Automation Correction of Projection Distortion
Issued US 10,499,026
This application describes techniques for correcting distortion in projected images. In some instances, a projection device may project an image onto a projection surface within an environment. However, the projected image may initially distorted from the perspective of a user within the environment due to the angle of the projection onto the surface and due to the location of the user relative to the projection. To help correct this distortion from the vantage point of the user, the user…
This application describes techniques for correcting distortion in projected images. In some instances, a projection device may project an image onto a projection surface within an environment. However, the projected image may initially distorted from the perspective of a user within the environment due to the angle of the projection onto the surface and due to the location of the user relative to the projection. To help correct this distortion from the vantage point of the user, the user utilizes a mobile device to capture an image of the projection. This image is then used to calculate one or more calibration parameters for execution by the projection device to remove the distortion of the image as projected from the perspective of the user.

Generating tags during video upload
Issued US 10332564
Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for generating video tags associated with previously captured video data. During a recording mode, video data may be captured and uploaded to a server. In response to a command, video may be tagged and selected, for example for inclusion in a video summary. During a standby mode, video data may be captured and temporarily stored in a buffer. In response to the command, video data stored in the buffer prior to the command may be selected. The video data…

Generating tags during video upload
Issued US 10,255,946
Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for allowing multiple devices to generate tags associated with video data captured by a single device. For example, a recording device may capture and upload video data and the multiple devices may generate tags identifying memorable moments. The tags may be used to generate a video summary, such as a single video summary for the captured video data that includes video data associated with tags generated by multiple devices. In addition, the tags may…

For example, the tags may be used to generate individual video summaries for each of the multiple devices. Therefore, multiple devices may tag the captured video data to generate the single video summary and/or multiple individual video summaries.
