Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe generating virtual backgrounds for video communications. A virtual background generator may monitor a user's calendar and/or inbox for meetings. The virtual background generator may analyze the context of calendar invites and/or scheduled meetings to generate one or more virtual backgrounds for a video conference. A first background may be displayed for the video conference. Additionally, the virtual background generator may update the virtual background based on an analysis of one or more topics being discussed during the video conference. Based on the analysis of the one or more topics being discussed, the virtual background generator may generate a second virtual background to replace the first virtual background.

Abstract: A computing system may determine that a change has occurred in a software application or a document object model associated with a software application. The computing system may obtain a current copy of a document object model (DOM) associated with the application and a current screenshot of a screen displaying the application (e.g., in response to determining that the change in the DOM has occurred). If the current copy of the DOM is determined to be similar to the screenshot, the computing system may save storage space by storing the current copy of the DOM and discarding the screenshot. The computing system may store the current copy of the DOM in a memory buffer. The computing system may send the DOM copies or screenshots stored in the memory buffer to the monitoring system, for example, if an error in the application is detected.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a shared presentation, which includes a set of spatial regions, is transmitted to user devices associated with users. Then, based on a user input indicating a first spatial region of the shared presentation for a first user, first auxiliary data (e.g., auxiliary video stream of the shared presentation) that corresponds to the first spatial region is generated. Moreover, based on the user input indicating the first user, a first user device associated with the first user is caused to display the first spatial region at a first time without displaying one or more other spatial regions of the set of spatial regions at the first time. As an example, the first auxiliary data is transmitted to the first user device, which causes the first user device to display the first spatial region without displaying the other spatial regions.

Abstract: Aspects described herein may provide determination of a pedestrian route for a user to reach a seating area inside of a venue. Financial transaction data of the user may be reviewed to determine the user purchased one or more tickets to an event at the venue. Information regarding the event or the venue may be determined including seating charts for the venue and whether the tickets are for assigned or unassigned seats. Crowd densities inside and outside of the venue may be determined. The pedestrian route may be determined based on the crowd densities, number of tickets, and type of seating. The route may be updated as conditions change including any change to the crowd densities or change to seating availability. The route may increase a likelihood that the user reaches the seating area prior to a start of the event, and in a less stressful manner.

Abstract: A controller is provided for a vehicle having front and rear axles, each axle having two wheels, and first and second propulsion units. The controller controls the first and second propulsion units to generate a combined torque with reference to a total requested torque. The controller is configured to: receive a torque request signal; receive traction signals indicating available traction at at least one wheel; determine a traction torque range defined by a maximum and minimum torque for at least one of the at least first or second propulsion units in dependence on one or more of the traction signals; determine a proposed distribution of torque between each of the at least first and second propulsion units with reference to the total requested torque; and determine a proposed torque to be generated by each of the at least first and second propulsion units in dependence on the proposed distribution of torque.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a system transmits a shared presentation to user devices associated with users. Then, in response to an inquiry from a first user associated with a first viewing device, the system identifies that an answer to this inquiry was covered in a previous portion of the presentation, and generates auxiliary data (e.g., an auxiliary video stream of the shared presentation) corresponding to the previous portion of the presentation. The system then causes the first viewing device to display the auxiliary data corresponding to the previous portion of the presentation, which includes an answer to the first user's inquiry, in lieu of the shared presentation. In an example, the auxiliary data may be played back at a speed that is faster than the default speed of the shared presentation.

Abstract: In some implementations, a device may receive an indication of information associated with a stored value medium. The device may populate a database with the information associated with the stored value medium, where the database includes a table to link the information associated with the stored value medium with an entity identifier of an entity associated with the stored value medium. The device may receive an indication of an exchange associated with the entity identifier of the entity, where the exchange is not associated with the stored value medium. The device may parse the database using the entity identifier associated with the entity to identify the information associated with the stored value medium indicated in the database. The device may communicate, with a backend system, to enable the exchange to be at least partially completed using the resources associated with the stored value medium.

Abstract: In some aspects, a computing system may use a machine learning model to determine whether a computer security policy should be modified to reduce the likelihood of a cyber security incident. Through the use of a machine learning model, unsafe combinations of access grants or permissions may be identified and modified to prevent cyber security incidents from occurring. The computing system may input a representation of a computer security policy into a machine learning model, which has been trained on a dataset that includes representations of computer security policies. The computing system may generate output indicating a likelihood that the first computing system will be involved in a cyber security incident. Based on the output satisfying a first threshold, the computing system may generate a recommendation to modify the first computer security policy. The computing system may modify the first computer security policy based on the recommendation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a preview stream for a user of a video conferencing service. In some aspects, the systems and methods provide for receiving a video stream of at least a portion of a display screen of a user device and determining whether the user device has been designated as a receiving device for receiving a version of the video stream. In response to determining that the user device has not been designated as a receiving device for receiving a version of the video stream, a request is generated to designate the user device as a receiving device in addition to being a presenting device. Based on images of the video stream, a preview stream (e.g., of at least a portion of the display screen) is generated and transmitted for display at the user device.

Abstract: To facilitate improved email and device security, embodiments of systems and methods include intercepting, by a processor associated with an entity, an internet request, where the internet request is produced by a link received in an email at a first computing device. The processor determines that the link is externally bound relative to an entity network. The processor determines an existence of a sandbox environment instance in a set of existing sandbox environment instances. The processor routes the link through the sandbox environment instance. The processor updates the sandbox log in the database based on the sandbox environment instance and the link. The processor causes to display on a screen of the first computing device a user interface for interacting with the link in the sandbox environment instance, and the processor logs activities associated with interacting with the link in a security log.

Abstract: In some embodiments, holographic presentations despite using holographic displays having limited viewing angles may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a user may be detected via one or more sensors associated with a holographic display system, where the holographic display system being configured with a first viewing angle. Based on the detection of the user, a direction of the user may be determined. The first viewing angle of the holographic display system may also be determined. For example, the holographic display system may determine a current first viewing angle. Based on the direction of the user, the first viewing angle may be adjusted such that the user becomes within the adjusted first viewing angle of the holographic display system.

Abstract: A user device may obtain message information that includes a first hash that was generated based on a portion of a future message that will be sent to the user device. The user device may determine whether new messages received at the user device appear to be associated with a corresponding entity. If a new message appears to be associated with the entity, the user device may use the message information to confirm whether the new message is malicious. Based on determining that the new message is malicious, the user device may display a notification to a user or perform a variety of other actions.

Abstract: In some embodiments, holographically displaying items based on item compatibility with user account features may be facilitated. In some embodiments, first and second mobile devices may be detected as being within a proximity threshold of a holographic display device, where the first mobile device is associated with a first user account and the second mobile device is associated with a second user account. Based on the detection, (i) navigation information of the first and second mobile devices, (ii) return value information indicating respective return values associated with candidate items, and (iii) account feature compatibility information may be obtained and inputted into a machine learning model. Despite a first candidate item being incompatible with a second account feature set for the second mobile device, a first holographic representation of the first candidate item may be displayed.

Abstract: A computing system may determine that a change has occurred in a software application or a document object model associated with a software application. The computing system may obtain a current copy of a document object model (DOM) associated with the application and a current screenshot of a screen displaying the application (e.g., in response to determining that the change in the DOM has occurred). If the current copy of the DOM is determined to be similar to the screenshot, the computing system may save storage space by storing the current copy of the DOM and discarding the screenshot. The computing system may store the current copy of the DOM in a memory buffer. The computing system may send the DOM copies or screenshots stored in the memory buffer to the monitoring system, for example, if an error in the application is detected.

Abstract: In some embodiments, user extraction of in-video text may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a video associated with a video communication session may be processed to detect moving text to which a first user is referring in the video. Based on the detection of the moving text, location information associated with the moving text may be determined. For example, the location information may indicate spatial locations of the moving text. Based on the text location information, a graphical text location indicator may be overlayed on the video (e.g., on a first portion of a user interface of a user device) where the graphical text location indicator is presented proximate the moving text. Selectable text corresponding to the moving text and an auxiliary indicator corresponding to the graphical text location indicator may be presented on a second portion of the user interface.
