Electronic-Device Interaction Via a Remote User Interface

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use in conjunction with an electronic device, the computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions that, when executed by the electronic device, causes the electronic device to perform operations comprising:

• when an object is detected in a predefined spatial region of a physical mat, acquiring one or more images of the object using one or more image sensors in the electronic device, wherein the physical mat is disposed on a surface that is separate from the electronic device;
• identifying the object based at least in part on the one or more images, wherein the identification comprises the use of a pretrained neural network or a pretrained machine-learning model that uses information associated with the one or more images as an input and that outputs information specifying the identified object;
• providing classification information associated with the identified object;
• and
• performing analysis associated with the identified object.

A method for performing analysis, comprising:

• by an electronic device:
• when an object is detected in a predefined spatial region of a physical mat, acquiring one or more images of the object using one or more image sensors in the electronic device, wherein the physical mat is disposed on a surface that is separate from the electronic device;
• identifying the object based at least in part on the one or more images, wherein the identification comprises the use of a pretrained neural network or a pretrained machine-learning model that uses information associated with the one or more images as an input and that outputs information specifying the identified object;
• providing classification information associated with the identified object;
• and
• performing the analysis associated with the identified object.
