  • Patent number: 11837260
    Abstract: Technologies for cloud-based media search and editing include a video editor configured to build a media query and associate the media query with a dynamic content slot of a media program. When generating video output based on the media program, the video editor transmits the media query to a cloud analytics server and receives search results identifying one or more media clips produced by a number of mobile computing devices. The video editor may display a list of clips for selection by the user or may automatically include one of the clips in the output. The cloud analytics server transmits an acceptance policy defining criteria for acceptable media, based on the media query, to the mobile computing devices. The mobile computing devices configure capture settings according to the acceptance policy and may display a user interface to assist the user in capturing acceptable media. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20220322031
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage media associated with proof of location are disclosed herewith. In embodiments, an apparatus may include communication circuitry configured to communicate with one or more external servers jointly hosting a distributed ledger of proximal device records, and posting circuitry configured to post records of sharing of a proximity record of the apparatus with one or more other apparatuses located proximally to the apparatus, and records of receipts of proximity records of the other proximally located apparatuses from the other proximally located apparatuses, into the distributed ledger. The proximity records posted into the distributed ledger may be used to prove the apparatus's location. Additionally, other embodiments, including a participating host server of a distributed ledger or a server of a product/service provider, are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10501179
    Abstract: Technologies for managing assets of a data center include a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communicatively coupled to a remote computing device. The UAV is configured to navigate throughout a data center and capture data center mapping information during the navigation usable to generate a three-dimensional (3D) model of the data center. The UAV is further configured to transmit the captured data center mapping information to a remote computing device. Accordingly, the UAV can receive instructions from a remote computing device that define a type of task to be performed by the UAV in the data center and perform such a task (e.g., a data center map update task, an asset inventory task, a maintenance task, a visual inspection task, etc.) based on the received task instructions. Other embodiments are described and claimed herein.

  • Patent number: 10409974
    Abstract: Technologies for user authorization include a compute device configured to determine one or more physical attributes of a non-electronic physical object and authorize a user to a protected system based on the determined physical attributes of the non-electronic physical object. The physical attributes may include, for example, an acoustic signature, a color signature, a shape signature, a weight signature, a position signature, or other physical attribute or set of physical attributes of the non-electronic physical object. The physical attributes may be sensed by various sensors of the compute device and compared to previously sensed or determined physical attributes to authorize the user to the protected system.

  • Patent number: 10044700
    Abstract: A technique allows a parentally attested security token to serve as authentication for a minor using identifying attributes of the minor child. The security token may include personally identifiable information about the child, a description of authorized activity as well as specifications of intended use of the security token. The security token may include provisions for authentication to be revoked by a parent or guardian and/or expire after a predetermined time. The security token may be stored inside a trusted execution environment of a portable computing device that may be carried by the minor and presented at physical locations where authentication is required.
