Abstract: Synchronized satellite communications can include receiving, at a computer having a processor, a data request that identifies a requesting device, data to be received by the requesting device, and a time at which the data is to be received by the requesting device. The processor can determine a geographic location of the requesting device and locations of a plurality of satellites; identify, based on the geographic location of the requesting device and the locations of the plurality of satellites, satellites that are to provide the data to the requesting device; generate instructions for loading network requirements to the satellites; and provide, to at least one of the satellites, the instructions. Additionally, embodiments of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein can be used to provide the same data and/or different data to multiple devices at the same time.

Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may obtain a request from a first entity to train a machine learning model, access at least one data feature of at least a second entity, and train the machine learning model on behalf of the first entity in accordance with the at least one data feature of the at least the second entity to generate a trained machine learning model, where the at least one data feature of the at least the second entity is a restricted data feature that is inaccessible to the first entity. The processing system may then provide the trained machine learning model to the first entity.

Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to detection of attention exhibited by a second user to a first user's avatar in a virtual reality environment. A first user's avatar activity and the second user's activity are evaluated to determine the second user's (e.g., via another avatar) attention level directed towards first user's avatar. Information can be sent to notify the first user that the second user's attention level has satisfied attention-level criterion data. For example, if the second user is viewing and/or is within audio range of the first user for too long of a time or too frequently, then the first user can be notified and/or other action taken. Remedial action is available for negative attention, such blocking the second user from experiencing the first user in the environment. Detection of attention for positive purposes is available, such as to reward an influencer whose avatar is receiving significant attention from followers.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards virtual reality collaboration spaces with associated context data. Once created, a virtual reality collaboration space can be pervasively existent, such that the space can be joined or returned to as needed by any admitted participants. The existence of a created collaboration space in association with its collaboration context data can be advertised to specific invitees or general invitees, and can be searchable. In general, upon receiving a reservation request for reservation of a virtual reality collaboration space, a virtual location for the collaboration space is reserved. Access is granted to requesting entities authorized to access the space. Permissions can differ for different invitees, e.g., such that only permitted users can access proprietary information presented as a virtual reality element within the collaboration space. The collaboration space can also be used to drop off virtual reality elements, e.g., from one user to another user.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards virtual reality bookmarks that maintain state data for a user in a virtual reality environment, such that the user can to return to that virtual reality environment at a later time. While presenting virtual reality session content to a user, a system or the like can receive a request to pause the virtual reality session from a user. Session state data, e.g., in the form of a virtual reality bookmark, is saved based on the pause request. A later request to resume presentation of the virtual reality content results in the system accessing the virtual reality session data, which is used to present resumed virtual reality session content to the user based on the session state data. A pause request may be for an individual user or for each user participating in a session. Virtual reality bookmarks may be shared with other users.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards presenting promotional content via an avatar representing a first, promoter user to a second, target user experiencing a virtual or other environment. The promotional content may be presented via an alteration of the avatar, audio output and/or an object virtually associated with the avatar. The promotional content may be selected based on matching target user data describing a target user experiencing a virtual reality environment. Different users viewing the same avatar at the same time can be presented with different promotional content. Information may be output to attract a target user to perceive the promotional content. The promoter user can interact to obtain a current promotion status notification, as well as to select from available promotional content offerings to promote.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to automated optimization of events by engagement and format. According to one aspect disclosed herein, an event management system can create an event for a specified topic based upon input provided, at least in part, by an event creator. The input can identify initial event content, a plurality of event attendees, a location for the event, and an event presenter. The event management system can receive a selection of a desired audience for the event. The event management system can accept the initial event content to be presented during the event and can determine a time for the event. The event management system can perform engagement sampling during the event. The event management system can utilize the selection, the time, and the engagement sampling to optimize the event. The event management system can determine a follow-up action to be performed after the event.

Abstract: The technology described herein is generally directed towards determining that a user is passively attending a meeting via a connected device, collecting data created during the meeting, and outputting information based on the collected data for the user to monitor the meeting. Join criteria can be associated with passive meeting attendee, and if the collected meeting data satisfies the join criteria, the attendee can transition to an active attendee. Keyword data can be used to represent information relevant to a meeting attendee. Based on collected and monitored meeting data presented during the meeting and the keyword data, the meeting can be determined to have reached a relevance/pertinence level by which action is taken to change the user from a passive attendee to an active attendee. This can include a transition period that allows a user to catch up on previous meeting information before becoming an active attendee.

Abstract: Improving configuration of routing areas within an area of interest can include obtaining input data including a list of common language location identifiers within a defined area of interest and identification of a number of routing areas to be created within the area of interest; creating a bounding rectangle around the area of interest represented by the list of common language location identifiers; generating, within the bounding rectangle, a uniformly distributed sequence point; determining, from within the list of common language location identifiers, if the uniformly distributed sequence point is located in a particular common language location identifier of the list of common language location identifiers; if so, adding, to a list of kernel common language location identifiers the uniformly distributed sequence point; and if not, discarding the uniformly distributed sequence point.
