Abstract: A system and method includes a first device with one or more processors coupled to a memory that executes instructions from the memory to perform the steps of receiving a request to begin a videogame; streaming video of the videogame to an audience; determine a popularity of the streaming video; and changing the videogame mechanics based on the popularity of the streaming video.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for automatically adjusting a display to obscure application data. In an example, a computer-implemented method may include collecting eye data from a user, receiving the eye data collected from the user, analyzing the eye data, determining that eyesight of the user is on a display based on the eye data, providing data on the display to the user when the eyesight of the user is determined to be on the display, determining that the eyesight of the user is off the display, obscuring the data on the display in response to determining that the eyesight of the user is off the display, removing the obscuring applied to the data on the display when the eyesight of the user returns to the display.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an audio device include a system provider device that retrieves, through a network, audio device information for at least one audio device. The system provider device also receives an indication of a triggered alert from at least one of a plurality of devices. In various embodiments, the system provider device determines an alert type corresponding to the received indication of the triggered alert. In addition, the system provider device modifies an audio setting of the at least one audio device based on the determined alert type. In some examples, the system provider device further modifies the audio setting of the at least one audio device to return the modified audio setting of the at least one audio device to a pre-modified setting.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for modifying image parameters of an image to be captured by an image capturing device based on input from a wearable computing device. In some embodiments, the system receives image data, determines an image parameter based on the image data, and receives data from a wearable computing device positioned proximate to a subject of the image. The system modifies the image parameter based on the data received from the wearable computing device and captures the image data using the modified image parameter.

Abstract: A system for maintaining and upgrading hardware device functioning provides processes to select and install updates for software (e.g., applications or apps) on the hardware device. A notification system provides information for discretion and control over the selection of software updates to be applied to consumer mobile devices according to the particular characteristics of the device, e.g., the model of device, the specific operating system of the device, and software applications installed on the device. The notification system may be integral with app stores on mobile devices and tablets, and may also be applicable to the Internet of Things. A notification may take the form, for example, of a warning or recommendation associated with an update for an app on the user device and may enable the user to make an informed decision beforehand about whether or not to install a particular update on the user device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for identifying unintended subjects in an image to be captured and causing an action based on the unintended subjects. In some embodiments, the system receives image data indicative of an image to be captured, determines a first set of subjects within the image data, determines an identity of a second set of subjects included in the first set of subjects within the image data, and determined an existence of one or more unidentified subjects of the first set of subjects. The system then generates an interrupt indicative of the one or more unidentified subjects of the first set of subjects.

Abstract: In various example embodiments, devices including a wearable device may be associated to share information and coordinate data between the devices as part of a coordination between relationship wearables. For example, a first wearable device and a second device, each associated with different users, may provide data to a history analysis module. The history analysis module may analyze this data for coordinated relationship patters made up of repeated events. Coordinated relationship data may be generated by this analysis, and then used by a current data analysis module to analyze an incoming stream of current data from at least one of the devices. When a repeated status value is identified within the current data stream, a coordination communication may be initiated.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, mediums, and methods for managing and controlling travel for a convoy of vehicles. A traffic control system includes a traffic control device that receives one or more signals indicating two or more vehicles proximate to a location. The traffic control device determines a convoy based at least on the one or more signals, where the convoy includes the two or more vehicles proximate to the location. The traffic control device determines traffic-signal data based at least on the convoy, where the traffic-signal data is configured to maintain threshold distances between two or more vehicles in the convoy. The traffic control device transmits the traffic-signal data to a traffic controller configured to select one or more traffic signals, where the one or more traffic signals enable the two or more vehicles to maintain the threshold distances between the two or more vehicles in the convoy.

Abstract: In various example embodiments, devices, systems, and methods for a waist measuring belt are provided. An example waist measuring belt is made up of a belt buckle frame with attachments for a belt strap. The belt further includes a position measuring module coupled to the belt buckle frame that measures an attachment position of a second end of the belt strap to the belt buckle frame. The belt also includes a tension measuring module coupled to the belt buckle frame that measures a tension through the belt buckle frame and the belt strap. A memory and a wireless communication module attached to the belt may be used to store measurements and communicate with a mobile device or server. In various embodiments, estimated user waist sizes over time using measured values and belt-specific data may be used to estimate a user's waist size and generate a waist size history.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling the spread of a communicable disease are provided. A combination of physiological data and location data is used to estimate the likelihood that an individual is ill. Once an individual is determined to be ill, the individual's location history may be examined and individuals who were exposed to the individual identified. By tracking individuals who may be ill or who have reported themselves to be ill, and by identifying individuals with a possible exposure to those who may be ill, potential carriers of illness can be quarantined and their access to areas where communicable diseases pose a high risk limited.
