    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: 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: A system and method for controlling functions on devices is disclosed. An occurrence of a start of an event is determined. Based on determining the occurrence of the start, a respective registration of a respective device associated with a respective attendee of the event is received. Based on receiving the respective registration and determining the occurrence of the start of the event, temporary restrictions are applied to the respective device from which the respective registration is received. Based on determining an occurrence of an end of the event, the temporary restrictions are removed from the respective device.
