Abstract: Various arrangements for performing dynamic content insertion are presented. Content items that have been output for presentation may be tracked across multiple viewing sessions. One or more insertion rules may be evaluated that are mapped to a content item. The content item may be determined to have met an output rate threshold. An alternative piece of content may be selected for insertion based on the content item having met the output threshold rate. A streaming content viewer device may be triggered to substitute the alternative content item to replace the content item.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for controlling access to multimedia content. In an access control system, each device operates as a gateway or node in the access control network and is linked to the other devices in the access control network. Each device in the network has a hash value that identifies the device and the type of media content or content providers the device can access. When a device requests to access media content, nodes in the access control system can compare the hash value of the user device to hash values in an allocation table to determine whether the user is authorized access the media content. In some implementations, a device connected to the access control network can verify or validate the hash value of the requesting device by comparing the hash value to hash values in an allocation table stored on a blockchain.

Abstract: Disclosed is a social networking system that allows a user of the social networking system to share media content with other users of the social networking system. A user can buy media content, e.g., a movie, offered in the social networking system by a content originator, who is a producer of the media content, or a content provider, who is a distributor or provider of the media content. The user can then share the media content with other users of the social networking system. For example, the user may sell or rent the movie bought by the user to friends of the user in the social networking platform. Further, the user may sell or rent the media content for profit.

Abstract: A mobile device includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor such that the processor is programmed to identify, based on user data a reference time. The processor is further programmed to send, via a human-machine interface included in the mobile device, a message to a user to input a user request to download a media content item prior to the reference time. The processor is further programmed to receive the user request to download the media content item and download the media content item from a media device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and remediating roadway hazards are disclosed. A machine learning model is trained on a dataset related to roadway items. Input data is collected by a data collection engine and provided to a pattern recognizer. The pattern recognizer extracts roadway features and recognized patterns from the input data and provide the extracted features to a trained machine learning model. The trained model compares the extracted features to the model, and a risk value is generated. The risk value is compared to a risk value threshold. If the risk value is equal to or exceeds the risk threshold, then the input data may be classified as a roadway hazard. Remedial action is subsequently be triggered.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamic generation and distribution of software applications to content receivers are disclosed. A request to generate a software application is received. In response to receiving the request, a plurality of feature sets with corresponding functions are provided. A first selection of at least one feature set from the feature sets is received. The functions that correspond to the at least one feature set are provided. A second selection of at least one function from the provided functions is received. Instructions associated with the at least one selected function are selected and compiled to automatically build the software application. The automatically built software application is pushed to one or more selected content receivers.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for remote access hardware testing. A user can remotely control probes connected to an oscilloscope to collect signal measurements of test points on a circuit board. The user can control the probe point position on the circuit board using an application on a device to enter the test point locations. In some implementations, a user controls the probe machine using remote controls and a camera video feed to identify the test points on the circuit board and capture measurements. The hardware testing system can automate the measurement process with a script or by using machine learning to identify test points via a camera, controlling the probe machine, and capturing measurements of the test point.

Abstract: Intelligent band switching is disclosed. “LO” bands are those with frequencies of less than one gigahertz (GHz) and “HI” bands are those with frequencies of approximately 1.7 GHz or more. Two or more LO bands may be aggregated (“LOLO”) when the signal strength received by user equipment (UE) is above a minimum signal strength threshold, for example. A LO band and a HI band may be aggregated (“LOHI”) when the signal strength received by the UE is below the minimum signal strength threshold. The UE may prefer to use LOLO based on a policy, and switching from LOLO to LOHI, and vice versa, is based on the comparison of the received signal strength to the minimum signal strength threshold. Three, four, or more LO bands may be aggregated if the resultant drop in signal strength is still above the minimum signal strength threshold, for instance.
