Methods and arrangements involving portable devices, such as smartphones and tablet computers, are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a system stores information from a sensor sub-system as RDF triples. The sensor sub-system may comprise a physical or logical sensor, such as a camera, a microphone, an accelerometer, a GPS receiver, an image classifier, and a user activity sensor. The triples can be stored in a user's smartphone or other portable device, or in the cloud. The stored data can then be acted on by a processor—again, in the user's smartphone, in another portable device, or in the cloud. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

Arrangements involving portable devices (e.g., smartphones and tablet computers) are disclosed. One arrangement enables a content creator to select software with which that creator's content should be rendered—assuring continuity between artistic intention and delivery. Another utilizes a device camera to identify nearby subjects, and take actions based thereon. Others rely on near field chip (RFID) identification of objects, or on identification of audio streams (e.g., music, voice). Some technologies concern improvements to the user interfaces associated with such devices. Others involve use of these devices in connection with shopping, text entry, sign language interpretation, and vision-based discovery. Still other improvements are architectural in nature, e.g., relating to evidence-based state machines, and blackboard systems. Yet other technologies concern use of linked data in portable devices—some of which exploit GPU capabilities. Still other technologies concern computational photography. A great variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.

Others rely on near field chip (RFID) identification of objects, or on identification of audio streams (e.g., music, voice). Some technologies concern improvements to the user interfaces associated with such devices. For example, some arrangements enable discovery of both audio and visual content, without any user requirement to switch modes. Other technologies involve use of these devices in connection with shopping, text entry, and vision-based discovery. Still other improvements are architectural in nature, e.g., relating to evidence-based state machines, and blackboard systems. Yet other technologies concern computational photography.

The ball type camera able of changing a lens module comprises: a swivel table mechanism for rotating in a horizontal plane for 360 degrees without segmentation and a rocking mechanism for rotating up and down for 90 degrees without segmentation. Wherein the rocking mechanism has a rotation seat driven by the swivel table mechanism for rotating for 360 degrees and a rocking member; the rotation seat is mounted thereon with a motor and a driving gear, the rocking member mounted with the lens module is pivotally connected to the rotation seat, the rocking member has thereon a sheet gear engaging with the driving gear; the motor on the rotation seat runs to move the sheet gear through transmitting of the driving gear to make the rocking member move the lens module on the vertical plane for rotating up and down for 90 degrees without segmentation; With this combination, the lens module can be removed from the rocking member for changing.

An audio watermark signal is associated audio host signal, but is provided separately. When the audio host signal is rendered, a user can control whether—and how strongly—the watermark signal is also rendered. The specification details a great variety of other technologies—most relating to audio and image content, and/or portable devices (e.g., smartphones).
