Abstract:
In an embodiment, a first client device establishes a P2P connection with a second client device. While the P2P connection is still established, the first client device receives a request to send data to the second client device via the P2P connection, and then sends the data to a server along with an indication of a temporary identifier of the second client device without notifying an operator of the first client device that the data is being sent to the server. In another embodiment, the server receives the data, maps the temporary identifier to a unique network address of the second client device and generates a record of the data transmission between the respective client devices. In another embodiment, the server maintains an association for the temporary identifier after the first and second client devices are disconnected from their P2P connection to permit supplemental communication.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a control device configures audio parameters for an audio component of a coordinated display session. The control devices maps, for proximate client devices registered as presentation devices for the coordinated display session, a different portion of visual data for the coordinated display session to respective display screens, and delivers the mapped portions of the visual data to the proximate client devices for presentation by the respective display screens during the coordinated display session. The control device evaluates video content data within the mapped portions of the visual data, identifies a subset of the mapped portions as a target for an audio focus of the coordinated display session based on the evaluation and reconfigures the audio parameters so as to transition the audio focus of the coordinated display session to the identified subset.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for implementing an emergency instruction based on an emergency message from a trusted authority source. The method includes receiving, at an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an emergency secret key from a trusted authority source The method receives, at an IoT device, an emergency message from the trusted authority source; decoding, at an IoT device, the emergency message from the trusted authority source using the emergency secret key to determine a value within the emergency message. The method calculates, at an IoT device, a result based on the determined value. The method implements, at an IoT device, an emergency instruction if the result is above a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
The disclosure is related to determining an association among Internet of Things (IoT) devices. A first IoT device receives an identifier of a second IoT device, obtains a schema of the second IoT device based on the identifier of the second IoT device, and determines whether or not there is an association between the first IoT device and the second IoT device based on a schema of the first IoT device and the schema of the second IoT device, where the schema of the first IoT device comprises schema elements and corresponding values of the first IoT device and the schema of the second IoT device comprises schema elements and corresponding values of the second IoT device.
Abstract:
Techniques for determining an alternative communication mode for vehicle-to-vehicle communication at a host vehicle can include monitoring the primary mode of RF communication to ensure it is effectively communicating and, if not, intelligently selecting a backup communication mode comprising one or more other sensors and/or systems of the vehicle. The selection of the backup communication mode may take into account various factors that can affect the various modes of communication from which the backup communication mode is selected.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a client device obtains a list of client devices registered in association with a particular client application, and then detects listed client device(s) as proximate via a local communications interface. One of the proximate client devices is identified as responsible for sending an aggregated registration request message for renewing their respective application registrations with a server. In another embodiment, the server receives a registration message for the client application from a client device and detects that at least one other registered client device for that client application is proximate to the requesting client device. The server attempts to preemptively renew the registrations for both the requesting client device and the at least one other registered client device based on the proximity detection.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for connecting a proxy device to a mobile device are disclosed. In an aspect, the proxy device continuously scans for the mobile device, wherein the mobile device broadcasts advertising messages to connect to the proxy device, connects to the mobile device in response to the mobile device coming into communication range of the proxy device, and sends information to the mobile device, the information configured to enable the mobile device to connect to a low energy device.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to mechanisms that may be used to route notifications in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment according to user activity and/or proximity detection. More particularly, in various embodiments, an entity that manages the IoT environment may receive one or more messages, actions, or responses that indicate detected activity or detected proximity associated with one or more users from one or more IoT devices in the IoT environment. The management entity may then establish an activity and proximity trail from the one or more messages, actions, or responses that indicate the detected activity or the detected proximity, whereby in response to an IoT device reporting one or more notifications, an IoT device in proximity to at least one of the one or more users may be identified and the one or more notifications may be routed to the identified IoT device.
Abstract:
An aspect enables context aware actions among heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT) devices. An IoT device receives data representing a context of each of a first set of IoT devices, receives data representing a current state of each of a second set of IoT devices, and determines an action to perform at a target IoT based on the received data. An aspect verifies an implied relationship between a first user and a second user by detecting an interaction between a first user device belonging to the first user and a second user device belonging to the second user, storing information related to the interaction in a first interaction table associated with the first user device, assigning a relationship identifier to the second user based, at least in part, on the information related to the interaction, and determining whether or not the assigned relationship identifier is correct.
Abstract:
Collaborative enhanced sensing systems and techniques are described. A system obtains sensor data of an environment from one or more sensors. The sensor data includes different representations of one or more portions of the environment from multiple perspectives. The system identifies a subset of the different representations of the one or more portions of the environment based on context corresponding to a vehicle in the environment. The context can include, for example, a position, a direction of travel, a speed, and/or a planned movement of the vehicle. The system causes an enhanced representation of the environment for the vehicle to be generated at least in part based on consolidating and/or fusing together the subset of the different representations. The system can cause an indication of the enhanced representation of the environment to be output at the vehicle.
