Abstract: Techniques are described for keyless entry to a structure (e.g., hotel room) utilizing a set-back box. Registrants (e.g., hotel guest) may scan a barcode from their mobile device to check-in to the structure. Upon scanning the barcode or by other means, a mobile device identifier (e.g., a Bluetooth low-energy address (BLE)) is registered and associated with the checked-in structure. Receiving the registered mobile device identifier, the backend server pushes such to the set-back box associated with (e.g., resides in) the checked-in structure. The set-back box is enabled (e.g., BLE enabled) to actively scan addresses of nearby mobile devices. When the registered mobile device identifier is detected within a predetermined signal strength range (e.g., by using received signal strength indicator (RSSI) levels), the set-back box transmits a command to a smart lock (e.g., via BLE or Wifi or other radio) or to a lock controlling backend processor, to open the lock.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards the analysis of the audiovisual content to adjust the timing, duration, or positioning of closed captioning so that the closed captioning more closely aligns with the scene being presented. Content that incudes video, audio, and closed captioning is obtained, and the audio is converted to text. A duration and timing for the closed captioning is determined based on a comparison between the closed captioning and the audio text. Scene context is determined for the content based on analysis of the video and the audio, such as by employing trained artificial neural networks. A display position of the closed captioning is determined based on the scene context. The duration and timing of the closed captioning are modified based on the scene context. The video and closed captioning are provided to a content receiver for presentation to a user based on the display position, duration, and timing.
