Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a social robot includes providing a set of quantitative personality trait values, also called a “personality profile” to a decision engine of the social robot. The personality profile is derived from a character portrayal in a fictional work, dramatic performance, or by a real-life person (any one of these sometime referred to herein as a “source character”). The decision engine controls social responses of the social robot to environmental stimuli, based in part on the set of personality trait values. The social robot thereby behaves in a manner consistent with the personality profile for the profiled source character.

Abstract: Provided is a system that includes an interactive casing and a GR device. The interactive casing receives a first signal based on activation of a masked electrical switch by release of a magnetic assertion when a lid member of an interactive casing is disengaged from a base member of the interactive casing. A first system state of the interactive casing is converted to a second system state. Audio-visual feedback is generated and a second signal is communicated to the GR device based on the conversion. Based on the received second signal, a first device state of the GR device is converted to a second device state. Power levels of a first power storage device of the interactive casing and a second power storage device of the GR device are maintained during the first system state and the first device state, respectively.

Abstract: A smart media player configures interactive media customized for passengers temporarily sharing a common conveyance (e.g., an automobile or other vehicle), using programmed methods. The methods include identifying profile data for each of the passengers and trip data for the common conveyance. Then, the smart media player may select an interactive media title for the passengers as a group based on at least one of the profile data or the trip data, including one or more of a variety of games for playing with other passengers in the vehicle. The interactive media title may be configured for output by the smart media player while the passengers are sharing the common conveyance. The media player plays the interactive media title in the common conveyance enabled for interaction with the passengers during the period.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for personalizing a vehicle with a sensory output device include receiving, by one or more processors, a signal indicating an identity or passenger profile of a detected passenger in or boarding the vehicle, accessing preference data and geographic location data for the passenger, and selecting sensory content for delivery to the passenger in the vehicle based on the preference data and geographic location data. Methods and apparatus for producing video customized for a preference profile of a person or cohort include associating each of the stored video clips with a set of characteristic parameters relating to user-perceivable characteristics, receiving user profile data relating to the person or cohort, selecting video clips from the data structure based at least partly on the user profile data, and automatically producing a video including the preferred video clips.

Abstract: A method and system for automated voice casting compares candidate voices samples from candidate speakers in a target language with a primary voice sample from a primary speaker in a primary language. Utterances in the audio samples of the candidates speakers and the primary speaker are identified and typed and voice samples generated that meet applicable utterance type criteria. A neural network is used to generate an embedding for the voice samples. A voice sample can include groups of different utterance types and embeddings generated for each utterance group in the voice sample and then combined in a weighted form wherein the resulting embedding emphasizes selected utterance types. Similarities between embeddings for the candidate voice samples relative to the primary voice sample are evaluated and used to select a candidate speaker that is a vocal match.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method in conjunction with mixed reality gear (e.g., a headset) includes imaging a real scene encompassing a user wearing a mixed reality output apparatus. The method includes determining data describing a real context of the real scene, based on the imaging; for example, identifying or classifying objects, lighting, sound or persons in the scene. The method includes selecting a set of content including content enabling rendering of at least one virtual object from a content library, based on the data describing a real context, using various selection algorithms. The method includes rendering the virtual object in the mixed reality session by the mixed reality output apparatus, optionally based on the data describing a real context (“context parameters”). An apparatus is configured to perform the method using hardware, firmware, and/or software.

Abstract: A digital content package includes first content comprising a video feature such as a motion picture or the like, and a user-selectable application configured to operate as follows. When activated using an icon off of a menu screen, the application records an identifier for scenes (discrete portions) of the first content that are selected by a user to generate a playlist. The user may select the scenes by indicating a start and end of each scene. The application saves the playlist locally, then uploads to a server. Via a user account at the server, a user may publish the playlist to a user-created distribution list, webpage, or other electronic publication, and modify the playlist by deleting or reordering scenes.
