Abstract: Biometric data or metrics of interest to a user are observed by wearable devices over a recurring time interval and aggregated into a representation of the user's baseline habits or patterns of behaviour. Present measurement of the same data or measures of interest within the recurring time interval provides a measure of the user's adherence to, or deviation from, the established habits or patterns as represented by a regularity score. Dynamic time warping barycenter averaging can account for time dependencies in the data or metrics of interest in both the baseline computation of past user habits and the characterization of the user's present behaviours. User regularity scores can be displayed to the user to both drive positive behavioural changes as well as initiate different health-related actions or recommendations for the user. Regularity scores can be computed repeatedly in line with long term changes in user habits and patterns of behavior.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to network slice selector (NSS). In one embodiment, for example, an evolved node B (cNB) may include a processor circuit, and an NSS for execution by the processor circuit to allocate a network slice (NS) to a user equipment (UE). The NS may comprise one or more virtual network function(s) (VNF). In one implementation, a VNF takes on the responsibility of handing specific network functions run on one or more virtual machines (VM) associated with hardware networking infrastructures, such as routers, switches, etc. Individual VNFs may be combined or connected together to provide a complete networking communication service for UEs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system. The UE includes a processor circuitry, and radio front end circuitry coupled to the processor circuitry.

The processor circuitry is configured to select either an enhanced packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC) to establish a wireless connection with the core network, based on a first set of CIoT features supported by the EPC and a second set of CIoT features supported by the 5GC received from the core network.

Abstract: An information system provides a conversational knowledge base for responding to user queries. The information system incorporates contemporaneous advancements in NLP and deep learning to create the conversation knowledge base from its documents, which may be obtained from various sources. Domain-specific information is extracted and generated from the documents substantially without human intervention. From the domain-specific information, precise answers to synthesized questions are generated using transformer-based deep learning models.

Abstract: An IoT hub comprising one or more servers and databases is configured to automatically assign Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices to IoT solutions based on a subnet to which the IoT devices are connected. A user interface is configured to enable a user to define subnets within the customer's network environment and assign each subnet to an IoT solution. Upon the user setting up an IoT device's network connection to a network device, such as a router, the IoT device transmits its network information to the IoT hub. The IoT hub can then automatically assign the IoT device to a specific IoT solution without further user input or predict which IoT solution to utilize for that IoT device based on known parameters.

Abstract: Computing systems of a multi-tenant trusted domain collect metadata describing data stored in data sources of a set of tenant trusted domains. The computing systems of the multi-tenant trusted domain use the metadata to process natural language questions based on data stored in data sources of a tenant trusted domain. The computing systems of the multi-tenant trusted domain identify a set of data sources of the tenant trusted domain that are relevant for processing the natural language question and generate an execution plan for answering the natural language question. The computing systems of the multi-tenant trusted domain send the execution plan to one or more computing systems of the tenant trusted domain. The computing systems of the tenant trusted domain execute the execution plan and send the result of executing the execution plan to a client device that sent the natural language question.

Abstract: Managing devices in an IoT environment. A method includes, as a result of a device being provisioned by a special-purpose solution, storing at a central unified registry a correlation of the device and the given special purpose solution. The method further includes correlating the device to a different special-purpose solution at the unified registry. As a result, the method further includes causing subsequent configuration of the device to be performed by the different special-purpose solution.

A method includes, receiving a first indication, including a first verifiable token, from a first entity that at least a portion of control of a device should be relinquished by the first entity. A second indication is received from the second entity, including a second verifiable token, that the at least a portion of control should be transferred to the second entity. The first token and the second token are verified.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for losslessly exchanging image layer data between image applications by generating an edit-restricted layer for one image application to represent an incompatible or unsupported image layer from another image application. For example, the disclosed system can determine that one or more image layers in a layered image file formatted for a layered image application include characteristics incompatible (e.g., unsupported) with a feature-restricted image application. The disclosed system can then generate an edit-restricted image layer representing the image layer(s) in the feature-restricted image application by limiting or preventing edit operations to the edit-restricted layer as a type of preview object.

Abstract: Hand segmentation on wearable devices is a challenging computer vision problem with a complex background because of varying illumination conditions, computational capacity of device(s), different skin tone of users from varied race, and presence of skin color background. The present application provides systems and methods for performing, in real time, hand segmentation by pre-processing an input image to improve contrast and removing noise/artifacts. Multi Orientation Matched Filter (MOMF) is implemented and applied on the pre-processed image by rotating the MOMF at various orientations to form an edge image which comprises strong edges and weak edges. Weak edges are further removed using morphological operation. The edge image is then added to the input image (or pre-processed image) to separate different texture region in image. Largest skin-color blob is then extracted which is considered to be correct segmented hand.

Abstract: Provisioning a requesting device is provided using extended identity attestation for the requesting device. A provisioning request is received at a device provisioning system. The provisioning request includes a registration identifier provided by the requesting device. A plurality of extended attestation components is accessed in an enrollment datastore of the device provisioning system. Each extended attestation component identifies an external computing system. One of the extended attestation components in the enrollment datastore is selected based on the received registration identifier. Execution of the device attestation is initiated at the external computing system identified by the selected extended attestation component to yield an attestation result. Satisfaction of a validity condition by the attestation result is detected. The requesting device is provisioned from the device provisioning system, responsive to detection that the attestation result satisfies the validity condition.
