    Abstract: A registration request is transmitted to register a media device with a server, the registration request comprising a device identifier associated with the media device. A discovery request is caused to be issued to allow client devices previously registered with the server and connected to the first network to discover the media device, wherein the discovery request is to cause at least a subset of the client devices previously registered with the server and connected to the first network to initiate discovery of the media device without requesting permission from a user of a respective client device to initiate the discovery of the media device, wherein the at least the subset of the client devices includes two or more client devices each associated with an auto-connect status. An identifier of each of the one or more client devices that are previously registered with the server and connected to a first network and an indication of whether each of the one or more client devices has discovered the media device are received, wherein each of the plurality of client devices is associated with a registration identifier pertaining to the first network.

    Abstract: Implementations disclose methods and systems for facilitating an automated user login into a first application hosted by a first-screen device. A method includes detecting, by a second-screen device, a message transmitted by the first-screen device over a network; determining, based on the message, that the first application hosted by the first-screen device is requesting user authentication for the automated user login; presenting, via a second application hosted by the second-screen device, a prompt for user input indicating user acceptance of the automated user login; receiving the user input indicating the user acceptance of the automated user login; and responsive to the user input, transmitting an authentication code from the message to the server device to perform the user authentication for the automated user login into the first application.

    Abstract: A method includes providing, via a user interface (UI) of a first application on a first screen device, a UI element prompting a user to connect the first screen device with a second screen device that is presenting a video to the user. The method further includes receiving, via the UI element, an indication of a user request to connect the first screen device with the second screen device. In response to receiving the indication of the user request to connect the first screen device with the second screen device, the method further includes causing the first screen device to be paired with the second screen device. The method further includes providing, for presentation in the UI of the first application of the first screen device, on or more comments provided by one or more other users for the video that is concurrently presented on the second screen device.

    Abstract: A method includes presenting, in a user interface on a first screen device, a primary media item comprising a video, and one or more secondary media items related to the primary media item. The primary media item and the one or more secondary media items are concurrently presented on a second screen device which is in a pairing session with the first screen device. User input is received, via the user interface on the first screen device, indicating a user request to disable presentation of the at least one of the secondary media items on the second screen device. In response to the user input, at least one of the secondary media items is caused to be no longer presented on the second screen device.

    Abstract: Implementations relate to generating and using multimodal embeddings. In various implementations, first modality data may be obtained and encoded into first modality embedding(s) using a trained first modality encoder that is stored in memory of edge-based client device(s). Second modality data may be obtained and encoded into second modality embedding(s) using a trained second modality encoder that is also stored in the memory of the edge-based client device(s). The first and second modality embeddings may be processed using an edge-based multimodal LLM that is also stored locally in memory of the edge-based client device(s) to generate a multimodal contextual embedding, which may be provided to a remote server that hosts a central LLM, e.g., in conjunction with a natural language input provided by the user. Information generated using the central LLM, responsive to the natural language input, may be received from the remote server.

    Abstract: A first screen device establishes a pairing session between a first screen device and a second screen device. The first screen device presents, in a user interface on the first screen device, a video and one or more media features related to the video. The media features pertain to at least one of a presentation of the video or user feedback about the video. The video is cast from the first screen device onto the second screen device. The first screen device receives, via the user interface, user input indicating a user request to enable presentation of at least one of the media features on the second screen device in connection with the video. In response to the user input, the first screen device causes the at least one of the media features to be presented on the second screen device in connection with the video.
