The speakers are used to give sound output comprising of system generated alerts, user based alerts, notifications, activities performed in GUI, user data etc., where user data comprises of audio-based, video-based, text-based user data. In some embodiments, devices

100 may comprise of content reader as well, which may for instance read contents displayed in GUI like, screen of exemplary embodiment, or may read content based on provided user input such as that of selected UI object by giving user input. To read the displayed content, memory may for example comprise of sets of instructions which when executed may read content say by one or more text analysis and/or modeling method. The same is also used for speaking the content of text based data. The microphonesti are used to capture sound based input comprising of inputs pertaining to user data and with respect to other features such as, for example, voice commands, speech to text synthesis and authentication protocols viz., recognition based user authentication- text dependent and independent, although in some embodiments device 100 may or may not have voice recognition based authentication, and/or may have voice-based text-dependent authentication, where voice print of user may not be generated for recognizing authorized user. When user may request for activation of any such feature, user may be presented with prompt on display for generating voiceprint, where one or more sample sound based input given by user may be used for generating voice print The samples can be analyzed and/or modeled based on unique information about user’s vocal tract and behavior of user’s speaking patterns. For example, statistical models of the characteristics of spectral features present in a user’s pronunciation of various phonemes can be built to distinguish voice characteristics of different user’ s voices. For example, Vector Quantization (V Q) codebook-based techniques can be employed to generate a voiceprint. Ergodic-HMM-based methods that analyze stochastic Marchovian transitions between states to build learned models of voice characteristics such as voicing, silence, stop burst, nasal/liquid, frication, etc., can be used to generate a voiceprint, for example. In some implementations, a two-pass speaker recognition approach can be used that first explicitly determines phonemes or phoneme classes from the audio data from a speech input and then performs speaker verification by a weighted combination of matches for each recognized phoneme category. For voice-based authentication speaker recognition analysis can be implemented. For example, the voice characteristics of voice in speech input can be compared to voice characteristics of a voiceprint of an authorized user. If voice gets matched to voiceprint, user can be authenticated as an authorized user. If voice cannot be matched to voiceprint, user will not be authenticated as an authorized user and an error message is prompted (e.g., audibly and/or visually and/or vibration) to user. The speech to text feature can be implemented by speech synthesis analysis and/or modeling. For example, Hidden Markov modeling (HMM), dynamic time warping (DTW), etc.) can be performed on the speech input to generate text that represents the content of the speech input. The voice command feature can be implemented by analyzing the text generated from the speech input to determine a command to invoke a feature of device 100.

For example, the speech input can be translated into text using speech-to-text processing and the text can be analyzed to identify a command using speech recognition processing. For example, once the speech input is translated into text, the text of the speech input can be compared to text associated with commands known to device 100 to determine if any of the speech input text corresponds (e.g., matches) to the command text. If a textual correspondence is found, in whole or in part, in the speech input, device 100 can execute the command corresponding to the command text that corresponds to the speech input text. In some embodiments, multi-lingual method is implemented. Further, two cameras are their a camera9 and camera systeml2. The camera9 may be used as a picture camera for images and videos. The cameras comprises of image sensor(s) which receives light from environment, projected through one or more optics, and converts light to data representing an image which is then transmitted to combination processors for further processing. Image sensor(s) can include charge-coupled device (CCD), complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistors or any other to capture visuals. The image sensor are positioned and housed such that touch screen display may be used as a viewfinder. In different embodiments, position and/or location of Image sensor(s) and/or housing may be fixed and/or may be movable by using suitable mechanism like rotating, sliding etc, for instance by changing position and/or location of housing of image sensor(s), optics etc. Similarly, in different embodiments, image sensor(s) may be placed in front of device and/or at back and/or at any side depending upon the embodiment, for instance, if embodiment is embodied as a wearable device like embodied to be worn like on wrist, then camera may be placed on top or at any side, such that camera can capture visual based data, such as appearing on display and/or at any side, together and/or separately. Similarly, if it is in some other form like that of portable device, then it may be placed such that it may be convenient for usage., like on any side depending upon the embodied form and/or structure. The operations of cameras may be controlled by using any common controller or separate controller, to say- a camera controller may be used. Further camera systeml2 comprises of an IR (infrared) light source that camera controller may controls to transmit relatively short IR light pulses to illuminate a scene in field of view of camera. For each transmitted light pulse, camera controller may shutter camera ON and OFF for a corresponding short exposure period responsive to a transmission time of the IR light pulse to image light that features reflect from the light pulse back to camera.

Controller determines round trip times and distances to features responsive to the imaged light. The same facilitates in capturing visuals in biometric authentication viz, facial recognition and iris based authentication. In some embodiments, same camera may also facilitate in capturing visual-based user data. Further different embodiments may have different types of cameras and methods of implementation

(depending upon type of embodiment), for instance instead of using IR light a laser light may be used to determine the round trip time and distance of object or a depth based camera may be implemented which may implement depth of the target object by illuminating object with controlled patters of dots, using infrared light or LED etc. Similarly, the camera systeml2 configuration and range may be like that of a may be a normal camera or 3D camera or TOF-3D camera. In some embodiments, one or more different authentication methods can be combined to work as a single authentication protocol, for instance one or more patter of eye recognition like iris or retina etc., and facial recognition together may constitute as a facial print or voice based authentication can be implemented together to authenticate the user. For biometric authentication, biometric sensors may use any of the approach and combination of suitable computing codes and/or methods for one or more detection and/or recognition methods which may facilitate in determining the biometric prints. The memory conroller2 may, for example, comprise set of instructions for biometric authentication to determine biometric -print of user. The codes may comprise at least one classifier that is trained to recognize biometric components and/or characteristics by training detection system to distinguish the biometric components and/or characteristics by using suitable training sets, some of which may contain biometric components and/or characteristics and some of which may not. Optionally, the detection algorithm is global detection system trained to detect biometric component and/or characteristics as whole from provided biometric sample. Optionally, detection algorithm is component based detection system which determines presence of the biometric characteristics by providing assessments provided by component classifiers as to whether characteristics of biometric components are present in the biometric sample. The assessments are then combined by holistic classifier to provide a holistic assessment as to whether the sample provided by the user evidence the biometric template. The component and a holistic classifiers may be trained on a suitable training sets. Two or more of such patter recognition algorithms may be combined together to form a single authentication method.

The selection of shortcuts may be made through settings menu. Further quick press on the pushbutton may unlock touch screen or to begin a process such as the process may comprise of authorization to unlock device. For example, a touch screen unlock may happen by facial recognition after a push of button, such that the user may not have to give a separate input for unlocking. In some embodiments, the embodiments may automatically unlock screen when user may come in view of camera systeml2 to facilitate with user convenience, for example in wearable devices which can be worn on wrist or any other embodiment. Further device 100 comprises of flash light (LED) 10 which may be used with cameras for capturing visual based user data.

To facilitate with features memory controlled may for example comprises of sets of executable instructions for detecting and/or measuring change of state with respect to orientation angle, tilt angle, and force applied in response to user input by determining change of state. To determine change of state, detection algorithm may be implemented by using one or more classifier to determine states to which new observations belong, where identity of states are known states. The classifier is trained prior to implementation on suitable training sets corresponding to known states.
