Abstract: Methods and systems for mitigating irritants during travel in a vehicle. The method includes determining, at a remote server, an airborne irritant is present external to the vehicle, which may involve data from the vehicle or from other nearby vehicles. The data may be direct irritant measurements by sensors or may be indirect data indicative of possible irritants. Based on the determination that the airborne irritant is likely present external to the vehicle, an irritant mitigation action is caused within the vehicle. The irritant mitigation action may include displaying a notification signaling presence of the airborne irritant, outputting an audio notification signaling presence of the airborne irritant, closing a window of the vehicle, or closing an air vent of the vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and systems to mitigate headlight blinding during travel in a vehicle by relaying location data from vehicles to a remote server. The remote server identifies vehicles approaching each other on an otherwise unoccupied roadway and sends one or more of those vehicles a warning signal. The vehicle receiving such as warning signal may then automatically take a headlight mitigation action.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for opportunistically initiating a multimedia call between two or more devices such as smart speakers at a time when users of the respective smart speakers are available to participate in a call. A server system receives an instruction from a first smart speaker associated with a first user to establish a real-time communication session with a second smart speaker. In response to that instruction, the server system monitors availability of both the first user and the second user at their respective smart speakers. On determining that both the first user and the second user are available at the same time, the server system initiates the real-time communication session between the first smart speaker and the second smart speaker.

Abstract: Systems and methods of owner application control of an electronic device are provided. Owner application control information is stored on the electronic device and/or one or more remote servers. Owner application control information is consulted to determine if one or more required applications are available for execution on the electronic device. If not, one or more required applications not available are downloaded and installed. This could be in a manner transparent to the user of the electronic device. If one or more required applications are not available on the electronic device, the device can be functionally disabled in whole, or in part, until one or more required applications are available.
