Abstract:
Directional sound location is used to determine security events of a security system. A sound sensor reports a vector direction to a sound source of an acoustic signal. If the vector direction is historically observed at similar times, then perhaps the sound source is not considered a security event. However, if the vector direction is unknown or unfamiliar, the security system may infer the security event and notify emergency services.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a device from a first media device, audio data and image information indicating vibrations of an object. The vibrations are caused by sound in vicinity of the object. The method includes generating audio information based on the image information. The method includes filtering the audio data based on the audio information to generate audio content associated with the first media device. The method further includes transmitting the audio content from the device to a second media device.
Abstract:
A system includes an input processor configured to receive video data from a source, wherein the video data includes identifiable data associated with a first vehicle, an analytics engine in communication with the input processor, wherein the analytics engine in configured to determine the identity of the first vehicle based on the identifiable data, a database in communication with the analytics engine wherein the database contains historical data associated with the first vehicle and the analytics engine uses the historical data in analyzing the video data, and an output processor configured to generate driving metrics based on the analyzed video data.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a device configured to receive media content from equipment of a service provider, an activation request from a monitoring service. The activation request is associated with activation of a video camera coupled to the device. The activation request is received based on satisfaction of an alert condition. The method also includes activating the video camera based on data responsive to a prompt. The prompt is presented by the device in response to reception of the activation request.
Abstract:
Devices, methods, and computer program products are for facilitating enhanced social interactions using a mobile device. A method for facilitating an enhanced social interaction using a mobile device includes receiving an audio input at the mobile device, determining a salient portion of the audio input, receiving relevant information associated with the salient portion, and presenting the relevant information via the mobile device.
Abstract:
A system for providing layered security is disclosed. In particular, the system may include determining a state of a first device of a device ecosystem and a state of a second device of the device ecosystem. Based on the states of the first and second devices, the system may include calculating a confidence score for the device ecosystem. If the confidence score satisfies a threshold score for enabling access to a selected system, the system may include transmitting an access code to the device ecosystem. Based on the access code, the system may enable the device ecosystem to access the selected system. If, however, the confidence score does not satisfy the threshold score, the system may include requiring the device ecosystem to provide additional authentication information in order to access the selected system.

Abstract:
A method includes receiving, at a device from a first media device associated with a first user, image information indicating vibrations of an object. The vibrations are caused at least in part by speech of the first user. The method further includes generating audio content by the device based on the image information. The audio content represents the speech of the first user. The method further includes transmitting the audio content from the device to a second media device.
