Abstract: An educational service for tutoring, testing, and auto-grading is provided within a computer network. A first computing or smart device connected within the computer network is controlled to present a test question using an output component of the computing or smart device. Either the first computing or smart device or a second computing or smart device connected within the computer network is controlled to receive a response to the test question using an input component of either the first or second computing or smart device. The received response by the input component is transformed into a digital file. A recognition algorithm is applied to the digital file of the received response to parse the received response. The parsed received response is processed to determine an accuracy of the response to the test question.

Abstract: Content receiver systems, methods, and machine-readable media to facilitate adaptive voice interaction are disclosed. An audio cue may be detected and mapped to a first viewer in proximity of an audio sensor. Sensor-based data that is based on the audio sensor capturing audio phenomena in the proximity may be received. A set of rules specified by an operations protocol may be accessed. The set of rules may include criteria for mapping a recognition of voice data to operations of a content receiver. The sensor-based data may correspond to a recognition of first voice data of the first viewer. A rule of the set of rules may be used to map the sensor-based data to an operation of the content receiver. Responsive to the audio cue, the content receiver may be caused to perform the operation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and machine-readable media for adapting content composites to device operations of an endpoint media device are disclosed. Blockchain data associated with a blockchain address may be processed by one or more processing devices. The blockchain data and/or the blockchain address may be mapped by the one or more processing devices to a first endpoint media device. Based at least in part on the blockchain data, a first content composite may be identified by one or more processing devices for delivery from a content provider system via one or more networks to the first endpoint media device. Transmission of the first content composite may be caused where, consequent to delivery of the first content composite to the first endpoint media device, the first endpoint media device or a second endpoint media device performs at least one operation relating to the first content composite.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for adapting content items to device operations of an endpoint media device are disclosed. A first content composite may be created by one or more processing devices for delivery in a packet stream from a content provider system via one or more networks, where the first content composite may include an adaptable content item corresponding to a set of one or more audio and/or video packets corresponding to audio and/or video content. The first content composite may be transmitted, where, consequent to delivery of the first content composite to a first endpoint media device or a second endpoint media device, the first endpoint media device or the second endpoint media device may perform one operation relating to a second content item of the first content composite, where the adaptable content item may be modified based on the second content item.

Abstract: In a system for displaying search results for program content, a first set of programs, television channels or streaming media content provider platforms are determined to be relevant to search terms based on a search. A second set of the programs, television channels or streaming media content provider platforms are also or instead listed or ordered on the display based on one or more received priority indicators received. Prior to the search, the priority indicators may pre-associate the second set of programs with one or more specific search terms used in the search. The priority indicators may give priority to order the certain programs, television channels or streaming media content provider platforms to be displayed above, or more prominently than, other items in the search listing resulting from using such search terms based on various different factors.

Abstract: Processes, systems, and devices generate a training set comprising a first presentation having a first visual aid and a first audio description. The first visual aid and the first audio description are based on initial data retrieved from a first data source using a first indexing technique. The machine-learning system is trained using the first presentation and the initial data retrieved from the first data source using the first indexing technique. The machine-learning system generates a second presentation having a second visual aid and a second audio description. The second visual aid and the second audio description are based on refreshed data retrieved from the first data source using the first indexing technique. The machine-learning system presents the second presentation via an avatar in a virtual meeting room. The avatar is generated by the machine-learning system to present the second visual aid and the second audio description.

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 non-transitory, machine-readable media may facilitate wireless network provisioning. In one example, a method for provisioning wireless network access to a wireless device includes: creating, in a cloud-based provisioning system, a wireless network access profile that includes a user identifier associated with the wireless device, receiving, on an access point, an authentication request sent from the wireless device, identifying, by the cloud-based provisioning system, the wireless device based on the user identifier associated with the wireless device, performing, on the cloud-based provisioning system, WPA3-based authentication to authenticate the wireless device, and providing, by the access point, network access to the wireless device.

Abstract: Various arrangements for facilitating smart television content receivers in a local network are provided. In an example, a secondary television receiver receives audio data, converts the audio data into voice command data, and transmits the voice command data to a primary television receiver. In response, the primary television receiver transmits the voice command data to a voice processing server via the Internet, receives a command generated based on the voice command data, and transmits the command to the secondary television receiver. Based on the command, an operation of the secondary television receiver is controlled.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system including a content receiver and an antenna coupled to the content receiver. A camera is mounted on the antenna. The content receiver includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the content receiver to: output a control signal to the camera mounted on the antenna, receive image data from the camera mounted on the antenna, determine that the image data received from the camera mounted on the antenna indicates a potential or actual obstruction of the antenna or movement of the antenna, and output a message indicating that the potential or actual obstruction of the antenna or movement of the antenna device has been detected, in response to determining that the image data received from the camera mounted on the antenna indicates the potential or actual obstruction of the antenna or movement of the antenna.
