Abstract: Implementations relate to generating theme-based videos. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method to automatically generate a theme-based video includes obtaining image criteria for a theme from a theme definition, querying an image database to obtain a plurality of images that meet the image criteria, determining that a count of the plurality of images satisfies a threshold based on the theme definition, and generating the theme-based video that includes one or more of the plurality of images.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for aligning map elements for display along a route within a digital map is presented. The method may receive a request for route data including an origin and a destination and determine route data defining a route navigating from the origin to the destination. The method may also determine a plurality of map elements that each intersect the route at one or more points along the route, each of the plurality of map elements having a corresponding visual identifier displayed on the map, align the corresponding visual identifiers adjacent to the route and transmit the aligned corresponding visual identifiers for display on the digital map.

Abstract: Improving automated package delivery to mobile delivery receptacles to allow accurate and reliable package deliveries comprises a delivery receptacle for an automated package delivery via an unmanned aerial delivery device. The delivery receptacle is notified of a pending delivery and travels to a receiving location. The delivery receptacle emits infrared (“IR”) beacons from one or more IR beacon transmitters. An aerial delivery device detects the IR beacon and uses the beacons to navigate to the delivery receptacle. The delivery receptacle receives IR beacon responses from the aerial delivery device and continually or periodically directs the IR beacons in the direction of the aerial delivery device. The aerial delivery device deposits the package in the delivery receptacle. After receiving the package, the delivery receptacle transports the package to a secure location, such as into a garage.

Abstract: A thermostat may include a memory and a processing system. The processing system may operate by determining a set of wake-up conditions for the processor to enter into a second operating state from a first operating state, the set of wake-up conditions including at least one threshold value associated with at least one environmental and/or time-of-day condition; causing the set of wake-up conditions to be stored in a memory; operating in a first mode in which the processor is in the first operating state during a time interval subsequent to causing the set of wake-up conditions to be stored in the memory; determining, while the processor is in the first operating state, whether at least one of the set of wake-up conditions has been met; and then operating in a second mode in which the processor is in the second operating state.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for controlling network connections are provided. In some implementations, a method for controlling network connections is provided, the method comprising: determining, by a user device connection to an access point by a first network connection, that a second network connection is available; determining that the user device is in an idle state; while the user device is in the idle state, switching from the first network connection to the second network connection; monitoring network activity using the second network connection; switching back to the first network connection; generating a profile for the second network connection based at least in part on the monitored network activity; comparing the profile for the second network connection to a profile for the first network connection; selecting the second network connection based on the comparison; and in response to selecting the second network connection, switching to the second network connection.
