Abstract:
Technologies for automated context-aware media curation include a computing device that captures context data associated with media objects. The context data may include location data, proximity data, behavior data of the user, and social activity data. The computing device generates inferred context data using one or more cognitive or machine learning algorithms. The inferred context data may include semantic time or location data, activity data, or sentiment data. The computing device updates a user context model and an expanded media object graph based on the context data and the inferred context data. The computing device selects one or more target media objects using the user context model and the expanded media object graph. The computing device may present context-aware media experiences to the user with the target media objects. Context-aware media experiences may include contextual semantic search and contextual media browsing. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A mechanism is described for facilitating personal assistance for curation of multimedia and generation of stories at computing devices according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes receiving, by one or more capturing/sensing components at a computing device, one or more media items relating to an event, and capturing a theme from the one or more media items, where the theme is captured based on at least one of activities, textual content, and scenes associated with the event. The method may further include forming a plurality of story elements to generate a story relating to the event, where the plurality of story elements are formed based on at least one of one or more characters, the theme associated with the event, and one or more emotions associated with the one or more characters, wherein the story is presented, via one or more display devices, to one or more users having access to the one or more display devices.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a mobile agent in an RFID system with reduced power consumption and increased localization capabilities. In one aspect, a relay circuit attached to a mobility mechanism such as a drone or robot is in communication with an RFID reader and a backend host computer. The mobile agent moves around a warehouse, for instance, in which landmark RFID tags are arranged. The mobile agent can transmit with an adjustable power to identify a single landmark tag and associate it with object tags of one or more objects within the range of the mobile agent. The host computer can communicate with the mobile agent to instruct it to adjust its power when multiple landmark tags are detected.

Abstract:
A technology is described for detecting a mechanical device. An example method may include retrieving magnetometer data generated by a magnetometer coupled to a mobile device. Magnetic features may be extracted from the magnetometer data, where the magnetometer data may be associated with magnetic field distortion patterns generated by mechanical motions of a mechanical device. Accelerometer data generated by an accelerometer coupled to the mobile device may be retrieved. Acceleration features associated with vibration patterns generated by the mechanical motions of the mechanical device may be extracted from the accelerometer data. Thereafter, the mechanical device may be identified using the magnetic features and the acceleration features.

Abstract:
A method may include calculating a first distance between first and second devices and determining a direction of a movement of the first device. The method may further include calculating a second distance between the first and second devices after the movement of the first device and determining the relative position of the first device with respect to the second device based on the direction of the movement, the first distance, and the second distance.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for performing RFID motion tracking in an intelligent manner that facilitates the generation of accurate and useful metrics for marketing and other applications. The techniques function to reduce problematic false positive rates on RFID tags attached to items to improve the accuracy of the motion presence of a small subset of browsed items among a much larger set of tagged items in the same space. This accurate motion inference enables the calculation of metrics such as customer-item interaction duration, pauses in interactions (potentially indicating close examining), and the extraction of patterns of motion that can indicate interest leading to realized sales, as well as concurrent motion detection of multiple items indicating which related items shall be placed in close proximity to increase sales of matching items.
