Abstract: A method may include a processing system detecting a biometric condition of a user exceeding a threshold, determining a triggering object associated with the biometric condition, where the triggering object is captured via a camera, and applying the triggering object and at least one personal parameter to a plurality of context filters. The plurality of context filters may provide a relevance topic based upon the triggering object and the at least one personal parameter. The processing system may further generate a plurality of search terms based upon the relevance topics that are determined from the plurality of context filters and present the plurality of search terms via a user interface.

Abstract: A system and method of synchronizing displays of a multimedia content stream in a plurality of devices are presented. A first multimedia stream of a content from a first content provider is provided to a first device. A second multimedia stream of the content from a second content provider is provided to a second device. A time stamp is generated for the first multimedia stream and the second multimedia stream. A synchronization offset is determined from a time on a global clock and the first time stamp and second time stamp. The first device is instructed to synchronize the first multimedia stream with the second multimedia stream. Feedback on the level of synchronization is received from the first device.

Abstract: A system may include a transaction history controller to store, in a distributed blockchain database, a first chain including a primary head node for a first subscriber to a social media history map service and multiple blocks each representing an online transaction for the first subscriber, and a second chain including a follower head node, linked to the primary head node, for a second subscriber and multiple blocks each representing an online transaction for the second subscriber. The transaction history controller may receive data representing a first online transaction for the second subscriber, format the data for the distributed blockchain database, store the formatted data as a new block in the second chain, receive a request to generate a trend report for a cluster of subscribers that includes the first and second subscribers, and generate the trend report dependent on the blocks in the first and second chains.

Abstract: An audio adjustment and profile system is provided that can track individuals and speaker locations in an area to dynamically calibrate speakers to provide a uniform listening experience. The system can generate an acoustic model of a room and further calibrate speakers using the acoustic model. The audio adjustment and profile system can also use profile information associated with the listener to customize the listening experience based on the preference information in the profile information. The preference information can comprise mood preferences that emphasize certain frequencies and tones while limiting others.

Abstract: Screen time-outs on a portable electronic device can be customized based on user activity. In one aspect, a sensing component receives data from one or more sensors located on the portable electronic device, for example, skin conductivity sensors and determines whether the user is using the portable device, either actively or passively and also determines the identity of the user. A configuring component is employed to change one or more features or functions of the portable electronic device based on the information determined by the sensing component. In particular, the configuring component changes one of more features of the portable electronic device based on the preferences predefined by the identified user and device usage (active and passive usage).

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an authentication system includes an authentication device. The authentication device includes a biometric scanner, a processor, and an interface. The biometric scanner receives biometric data for a user. The processor authenticates the user by comparing the received biometric data for the user to predetermined biometric information for the user. The processor generates an authentication token in response to the authentication. The processor continuously authenticates the user. The interface communicates the authentication token to a content providing device, the authentication token indicating the authentication of the user. The interface receives content from the content providing device in response to the authentication token.

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: Signals from a remote control device may be received in a first viewing area and retransmitted to a second viewing area to control customer premises equipment (CPE) devices in the second viewing area. In some embodiments, signals are translated for compatibility with the CPE devices in the second viewing area. A repeater in the first viewing area may receive infrared signals encoded with a remote control command and retransmit the remote control command with an RF signal to a receiver in the second viewing area. The repeater may be incorporated into a multimedia processing resource such as a set-top box.
