Abstract: Interactive content can be managed and provided to occupants of an automated vehicle to enhance their experience while in the vehicle. Orchestrator component can determine interactive content based on conditions associated with the vehicle, user preferences, video content, or other information. Interactive content can comprise video content, audio content, and control content. Video content can comprise augmented reality or virtual reality content. Control content can be used to control vehicle operation in relation to or synchronization with presentation of video content. Orchestrator component can correlate between certain roads on which the vehicle can travel and entertainment presentations presented to a vehicle occupant. Orchestrator component can control vehicle operation to have the vehicle recreate a vehicle action sequence (VAS) in a video program being presented to the occupant in the vehicle. Orchestrator component can notify nearby vehicles when VAS is be recreated, or another vehicle also can participate in VAS.

Abstract: An audio generation system is provided to enable coordinated control of multiple IoT devices for audio collection and distribution of one or more audio sources according to location and user preference. The audio generation system enables a location sensitive acoustic control of sound, both as a shaped envelope for a particular source, and as an individualized experience. The audio generation system also facilitates an interactive visual system for visualization and manipulation of the audio environment including via the use of augmented reality and/or virtual reality to depict soundscapes. The audio generation system can also facilitate a system for improving and achieving an audio environment (sound influence zone) and an intuitive way to understand where sounds will be heard.

Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may obtain information regarding an exchange of an item, the exchange having a sterilization requirement for the exchange, and may identify a network-connected storage locker having at least one sterilization component that is capable of fulfilling the sterilization requirement and that is available for assignment to the exchange. The processing system may then transmit a first notification to the network-connected storage locker of a reservation of the network-connected storage locker for the exchange and transmit to a computing system associated with a source of the item a second notification of the reservation of the network-connected storage locker for the exchange.

Abstract: Virtual assistants (VAs) can be managed in interactions with communication devices (and associated users) or other VAs. A communication management component (CMC) can track an interaction between a VA and a communication device of a user or another VA with regard to an event. The CMC can analyze information relating to the interaction to determine a context of the interaction. The CMC can manage the VA, the involvement of the communication device in the interaction, or the other VA based on the context. When indicated by the context, the CMC can modify characteristics associated with the VA to enhance the interaction. When another communication device or another VA enter the interaction in progress, the CMC can determine interaction update information, based on the tracking of the interaction, and can communicate the interaction update information to the other communication device (and associated user) or other VA.
