    Abstract: Disclosed is a conversation management system that manages conversations about a content using blockchain technology. The content management system can use the blockchain technology to validate the conversations, and provide a content provider of the content a secured access to the validated conversations. The validation of the conversations can ensure that the conversations are not fake, e.g., provided by real people and not generated using bots. A conversation about the content is added as a block to the blockchain upon validation, and once added may not be modified, and therefore, the content provider may be assured that the conversation is secure and genuine. The content provider can use the knowledge obtained from the validated conversations in making future content.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for facilitating the following operations are disclosed. A first content composite that is configured with a containerization object may be transmitted. The containerization object may be configured with one or both of containerization specifications and a container flag to facilitate performance of operations by an endpoint media device with respect to the first content composite. The first content composite may include a set of one or more audio and/or video packets corresponding to audio and/or video content. One or more communications corresponding to one or more indications of one or more detected operations associated with the endpoint media device may be received consequent to the endpoint media device performing the operations. Based at least in part on the one or more communications, a set of observation data mapped to the endpoint media device and the first content composite may be aggregated.

    Abstract: A network router provides Internet connectivity to an intermediate router (e.g., implemented on a computer, smartphone or other device), which in turn provides Internet connectivity to a plurality of devices (e.g., IoT devices). During migration to a new router, the intermediate router may receive an indication that the first wireless router is out of service or no longer exists. Despite that the first wireless router is out of service or no longer exists, the intermediate router keeps each network connection from a plurality of devices to the intermediate router in a manner that is unaffected by the first wireless router being down or no longer existing (other than the plurality of devices experiencing a temporary Internet service interruption). The intermediate router then connects to a second wireless router to replace the first wireless router that is out of service or no longer exists. The intermediate router provides, via the connection to the new second wireless router, Internet connectivity to the plurality of devices connected to the intermediate router without reconnection, reactivation or reconfiguration of the plurality of devices to obtain the Internet connectivity.

    Abstract: Novel techniques are described for networked aggregation of distributed localized particulate air pollutant (LPAP) sensors. For example, a large number of sensors is distributed over a geographic region. Each sensor can detect local levels of one or more LPAPs, and can communicate the detected levels over one or more communications networks. A system can receive data samples for the LPAP levels from the sensors and can compute LPAP scores that are mapped to respective sub-regions of the geographic region. The computation can be a function of aggregating respective LPAP levels for at least those LPAP sensors in a particular sub-region of the geographic region, and also as a function of comparing the aggregation against an identified set of trigger thresholds for the LPAP of interest. In some cases, the computed and mapped LPAP scores can be output for display, for example, as a heat map, or the like.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, media devices, and non-transitory, machine-readable media to facilitate asynchronous wireless media transfer are disclosed. A request for video service from a content provider system via a wireless network may be received. A media device may be configured to provide an asynchronous session for subsequent video content transfer. The configuring may utilize a network layer and a transport layer without utilizing a presentation layer and an application layer. Specifications of asynchronous session parameters may be created to define delivery operations with the asynchronous session. An encrypted token, corresponding to the specifications, may be created. Opening of the asynchronous session may be requested by transmitting the encrypted token to the content provider system from the transport layer. At the session layer, the asynchronous session may be started for video content delivery in accordance with the specifications of the asynchronous session parameters. Display of the video content may be caused.

    Abstract: Conversation support systems and methods are operable to assist a user to more fully participate in an ongoing conversation. An exemplary embodiment receives a conversation map comprising a serially arranged plurality of conversation segments of audio information each associated with one of a plurality of conversation participants, and that includes dialogue of the ongoing conversation being spoken by the associated conversation participant; determining subject matter of a current portion of the ongoing conversation based on the dialogue; selects conversation support information that pertains to the current conversation subject; and generating a conversation queue that includes information that corresponds to the selected conversation support information, wherein the conversation queue is communicated from the conversational support system to at least one conversation queue output device that presents the conversation support information to the user.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided that include receiving, by a set-top box (STB) and over a direct broadcast satellite (DBS) channel, an instructional media file; storing the instructional media file in a local database for future viewing; adding metadata about the instructional media file to an analytics engine; determining, by the analytics engine, a time to present the instructional media file to an end-user associated with the STB, wherein the determination is based on processing an associated profile of the end-user and the metadata about the instructional media file; transmitting a notification for delivery to the end-user, where the notification indicates that the instructional media file is ready to be presented; and presenting, by a local processor associated with the STB, the instructional media file. Various artificial intelligence and augmented reality aspects are created and implemented in the system.
