A display map may be received indicating display parameters for configuring the display of the image based on an orientation of the user device. At least a portion of the image may be caused to be displayed by the user device based at least on the display map and a determined orientation of the user device.

Abstract: A request to access a destination device associated may be received from a user device. The request may comprise a digital certificate. The digital certificate may comprise a public key of the user device. A distributed ledger address of the user device may be determined by applying a deterministic function to the public key of the user device. A distributed ledger entry may be created on a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger entry may comprise the address of the user device. Based on the distributed ledger entry, access to the destination device may be granted to the user device.

Abstract: A device may not trust another device with which it is in communication. To establish trust, a first device may send a second device an indication of signed code that is stored in a protected memory of the first device. Based on determining that the first device is a trusted device, the second device may send the first device an encrypted content asset, a decryption key associated with the content asset, and/or an encryption key associated with the content asset.

Abstract: Computer readable media, methods and apparatuses may be configured for establishing a communication session between a computing device (e.g., a display device) and a remote control device using a signaling frequency. The computing device and the remote control device may be paired based on a pairing request and a pairing response message. The pairing request may comprise address data of the remote control device and address data of the computing device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for data routing management are disclosed. A method can comprise a system receiving a request directed to an address. The system can determine performance capabilities of a first logical grouping of computing devices, wherein the first logical grouping of computing devices share the address. The system can determine whether at least one computing device of the first logical grouping of computing devices can receive the request. If at least one computing device of the first logical grouping of computing devices can receive the request, the request can be transmitted to the at least one computing device of the first logical grouping of computing devices. If at least one computing device of the first logical grouping of computing devices cannot receive the request, the request can be transmitted to a second logical grouping of computing devices that share the address.

Abstract: Methods and systems related to authoring and acquiring digital rights management (DRM) licenses are disclosed. For example, a computing device may generate or author a digital rights management license for a content asset that includes one or more usage restriction rules. A usage restriction may limit the maximum display resolution for a content asset. Another device may then receive the license and process the one or more usage restrictions prior to presentation of the content asset to a user.

Abstract: Methods and systems for wireless communication are described. A computing device may receive data via a network. The computing device may modify one or more settings associated with a network based on the data.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for controlling sharing of content targeting data (e.g., user-specific data and/or device-specific data) with content-outputting software applications outputting both primary content and secondary content. A user may specify whether the user wants to receive targeted secondary content from the content outputting-software applications. The user may also specify whether the user wants to share content targeting data with the content-outputting software applications. Content targeting data may be shared based on whether the content targeting data is used for selecting targeted secondary content for the user.

Abstract: Wireless communications using multiple active resources (e.g., bandwidth parts (BWPs)) are described. A wireless device may perform failure event detection, such as radio link monitoring (RLM) and/or beam failure detection (BFD), jointly or separately for multiple active resources (e.g., BWPs) based on one or more criteria.

Abstract: Systems and methods for provisioning and validating a network are disclosed. One method can comprise providing a first communication tunnel between a network access point and a first tunnel endpoint. Availability of the first tunnel endpoint can be determined. If the first tunnel endpoint is determined to be available, network traffic can be routed to the first tunnel endpoint. If the first tunnel endpoint is determined to be unavailable, a second communication tunnel between the network access point and a second tunnel endpoint can be provided.

Abstract: Aspects described herein describe selecting advertisements for insertion into video content. An advertisement may be selected based on when content was previously consumed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for improving content classifications and metadata for a plurality of content items. The content items may comprise various forms of media content. A content recommendation processing system may automatically annotate and/or classify content items with a plurality of metadata tag information describing content items. The disclosed system and methods may also determine and/or assign applicability scores indicating a level or degree of suitability for annotating a content item with particular metadata tag information, and may utilize applicability scores to provide content to calibrate metadata information for a plurality of content items, and further to provide content recommendations to users.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for controlling vibrations output by one or more computing devices. A computing device may determine an event, and may also determine, using a camera, an image of the surroundings of the computing device. Based on an analysis of the image, the computing device may then output a tactile vibration, an audible sound, and/or a visual notification associated with the event.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for providing optimal representations of content. A user interface may present content based on one or more images representing the content. User interactions associated with the content may be tracked based on which of the one or more images was used to represent the content. Statistical information may be tracked to determine which groups of users respond to particular images used to represent content. The statistical information may be used to select which images are used to represent the content for additional users.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic communication and control of devices associated with a premises are disclosed. The systems and methods may include a device such as a camera that may be configured via configuration service to capture video of a premises and to transmit segments of the captured video having a pre-determined length of time to a video service. The transmission of the video segments may be periodic and may have a frequency of transmission based on parameters provided by the configuration service.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating, selecting, or otherwise providing access to electronic content and services. Access to the content and services may be provided in such a manner as to facilitate access to higher quality forms of the content. The higher quality forms of the content may relate to any number of characteristics associated with displaying, transmitting, compressing, securing, and/or otherwise manipulating the content to more suitable forms relative to another form.
