Abstract

Systems, methods and apparatus for presenting information using an electronic device. In an aspect, when a standby or idle device detects that a user gazes at it, it starts showing contents on a display. In other aspects, when a standby or idle device detects that a user shakes it, taps on it, or speaks to it, plus that the user gazes at it, the device begins to show contents on a display. The contents may include advertisements.

Claims

1-12. -12. (canceled)

13. A method performed for presenting a plurality of contents via an electronic device, comprising:

1) receiving a voice input from a user using voice recognition techniques;

2) ascertaining whether the voice input includes a predetermined word and matches a given profile and then determining whether the user looks at a direction toward the electronic device; and

3) presenting the plurality of contents via the electronic device when the voice input includes the predetermined word and matches the given profile and it is detected that the user looks at a direction toward the electronic device.

14. The method according to claim 13, further including stopping presentation of the plurality of contents after a voice command is received.

15. The method according to claim 13 wherein the given profile contains a single word.

16. The method according to claim 13 wherein the presenting step is performed when the voice input includes the predetermined word and matches the given profile and it is detected that the user looks at a direction toward a screen of the electronic device.

17. A method performed for presenting a plurality of contents via an electronic device, comprising:

1) ascertaining a voice input from a user using voice recognition techniques;

2) ascertaining whether the voice input includes a predetermined word and matches a given profile and then determining whether the user looks at a direction toward the electronic device; and

3) presenting the plurality of contents via the electronic device when the voice input includes the predetermined word and matches the given profile and it is detected that the user looks at a direction toward the electronic device.

18. The method according to claim 17, further including stopping presentation of the plurality of contents after a voice command is received.

19. The method according to claim 17 wherein the given profile contains a single word.

20. The method according to claim 17 wherein the presenting step is performed when the voice input includes the predetermined word and matches the given profile and it is detected that the user looks at a direction toward a screen of the electronic device.

21. An electronic device comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memory chips or modules coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more processors operable when executing certain instructions to;

1) ascertain a voice input from a user using voice recognition techniques;

2) ascertain whether the voice input includes a predetermined word and matches a given profile and then determine whether the user looks at a direction toward the device; and

3) present a plurality of contents via the device when the voice input includes the predetermined word and matches the given profile and it is detected that the user looks at a direction toward the device.

22. The device according to claim 21 wherein presentation of the plurality of contents is stopped when a voice command is received.

23. The device according to claim 21 wherein the given profile contains a single word.

24. The device according to claim 21 wherein the plurality of contents is presented when the voice input includes the predetermined word and matches the given profile and it is detected that the user looks at a direction toward a screen of the electronic device.
