Abstract: A facility for transferring configuration information to a target media device is described. The facility receives in the target media device a copy of media device settings stored in a source media device distinct from the target media device in a first form in which they are used in the source media device. This copy of media device settings is received by the target media device via a route other than its visual user interface. The facility causes the received copy of media device settings to be transformed into a second form in which they can be used in the target media device. The facility then stores the media receiver settings in the second form in the target media device for use by the target media device.

Abstract: Embodiments are related to processing of a source video stream for generation of a target video stream that includes an object of interest to a viewer. In some embodiments, the target video stream may exclusively or primarily include the performance of the object of interest to the viewer, without including other persons in that video. This allows a viewer to focus on an object of his or her interest and not necessarily have to view the performances of other objects in the source video stream.

Abstract: Novel techniques are described for viewer compositing using media playback systems for enhanced media recommendation and consumption. For example, a display device can be in communication with a media recommendation and consumption compositor (MRCC) system. When a group of viewers desires a shared media consumption experience, the MRCC system can detect the group of viewers and can obtain respective viewer profiles, which can be used to generate a composite profile representing a composite of the group of viewers. The MRCC system can determine an available content space indicating the content available for consumption and can compute a content recommendation space as a function of the composite viewer profile and the available content space that defines recommended content options for the composited group of viewers. A recommendation interface can be output to indicate recommended content options for selecting and viewing.

Abstract: Devices, systems and processes for providing relevant, real-time information to a responder are described. For at least one embodiment, a process may include receiving, by a responder system, alert data identifying an incident location. The process may include determining whether relevant data for the incident location is stored in the responder system. When relevant data is not stored in the responder system, the process may include obtaining the relevant data for the incident location from an external data source and storing the obtained relevant data in the responder system. While proceeding to the incident location, the process may include generating, based on the alert data and the relevant data, initial augmented reality information for presentation to a responder associated with the responder system. Upon arriving at the incident location, the process may include generating second augment reality information for the responder. Upon arriving within a localized area of the incident location, the process may include identifying and selecting an IoT device operable within the localized area, establishing a communications link with the selected IoT device, receiving first IoT device data from the selected IoT device, and generating, based on the first IoT device data, third augmented reality information.

Abstract: A method includes determining that data out of a peripheral device has been interrupted. In response, control signals are transmitted that cause power to not be supplied to the peripheral device and then cause power to be supplied to the peripheral device. If the peripheral device is determined to not be outputting data, whether data into the peripheral device has been restored is determined. If it is not, control signals are transmitted that cause power to not be supplied to a router and then cause power to be supplied to the router. If the router is determined to be outputting data, control signals are transmitted that cause power to not be supplied to a wireless access point that is coupled to the modem and then cause power to be supplied to the wireless access point. Whether the wireless access point is outputting data is determined.

Abstract: Novel techniques are described for platooning of computational resources in automated vehicle networks. An on-board computational processor of an automated vehicle typically performs a large number of computational tasks, and some of those computational tasks can be computationally intensive. Some such tasks, referred to as platoonable tasks herein, are well-suited for parallel processing by multiple processors. Embodiments can detect one or more on-board computational processors in one or more automated vehicles that are likely, during the time window in which the platoonable task will be executed, to have available computational resources and to be traveling along respective paths that are close enough to each other to allow for ad hoc network communications to be established between the processors. In response to detecting such cases, embodiments can schedule and instruct shared execution of the platoonable tasks by the multiple processors via the ad hoc network.

Abstract: An Internet Layer end-to-end security connection (an Internet protocol (IP) encrypted tunnel) is established between a television receiving device and each player device on a home local area network (LAN) as part of the initial pairing process between each player device and the television receiving device. Traffic between the television receiving device and the player device is communicated via IP on the LAN, such that data between the two devices is securely encrypted at the Internet Layer, thus reducing potential security issues related to managing security and encryption at the application layer. This results in a secure virtual private network (VPN) between each player device and the television receiving device.
