Abstract:
Various systems and methods for providing contextual information to a user while the user is wearing headphones are described herein. A system for providing contextual information while wearing headphones comprises an event detector module to detect an event external and proximate to a user device, the user device communicatively coupled to headphones worn by a user, the headphones producing sound at a first volume; a notification decision module to determine whether to notify the user of the event; and a notification module to notify the user of the event based on the determination.
Abstract:
Various systems and methods for interaction with digital signage are described herein. A system for interacting with digital signage, includes an identification module to identify, at an onboard system in a vehicle, a first roadside digital signage, the first roadside digital signage having first content; a communication module to receive a first option to perform a first action related to the first content; and a presentation module to display the first option via the onboard system.
Abstract:
Autonomous vehicle safety systems and methods are disclosed, which detect and consider occupant reactions to potential hazards to suggest or incorporate safety procedures. Also disclosed are systems for controlling autonomous vehicles based on occupant sentiment and other occupant data in order to improve the occupant driving experience. The disclosed embodiments may include an occupant monitoring system obtaining occupant data for an occupant of the autonomous vehicle. A learning engine can process occupant data received from the occupant monitoring system to identify one or more suggested driving aspects based on the occupant data. A vehicle interface can communicate the one or more suggested driving aspects to the autonomous vehicle, such as a defensive action that can enhance safety of the occupant(s).
Abstract:
Embodiments for providing intelligent location-based signage services are generally described herein. An intelligent signage device may include a proximity module arranged to receive a notification that a personal device is within an area of the intelligent signage device. The signage may also include a transceiver arranged to establish a connection from the intelligent signage device to the personal device and receive user data from the personal device via the connection. An offer-customization module of the digital signal may be arranged to determine a set of display options based on the user data, a member of the set of display options corresponding to an offer for a product and a presentation module of the digital signage may be arranged to display the member of the set of display options on the intelligent signage device.

Abstract:
Various systems and methods for optimizing use of environmental and operational sensors are described herein. A system for improving sensor efficiency includes object recognition circuitry implementable in a vehicle to detect an object ahead of the vehicle, the object recognition circuitry configured to use an object detection operation to detect the object from sensor data of a sensor array, and the object recognition circuitry configured to use at least one object tracking operation to track the object between successive object detection operations; and a processor subsystem to: calculate a relative velocity of the object with respect to the vehicle; and configure the object recognition circuitry to adjust intervals between successive object detection operations based on the relative velocity of the object.
Abstract:
Technologies for structured media playback include one or more physical media objects, which may be placed on a substrate including a matrix of position sensor tags. Each of the physical media objects is configured to sense one or more position sensor tags and transmit tag information received from the sensed position sensor tags to a compute device. The compute device determines a cast of physical media objects present on the substrate based on the received tag information and selects media for playback based on the determined cast. In some embodiments, the compute device may select the index of the media at which to initiate playback based on the determined cast or collection of physical media objects.
