  • Publication number: 20240310030
    Abstract: This document describes techniques directed to a modular floodlight system with supplemental motion detection. The modular floodlight system includes a camera unit magnetically coupled to an accessory unit. The accessory unit includes passive infrared, PIR, sensors that expand and supplement motion-detection capabilities of the camera unit. For example, the accessory unit PIR sensor provides a PIR field of view, FOV, that is different than the PIR FOV of the camera unit's PIR sensor. Motion detected in either or both of the PIR FOVs is used to cause of change in functionality of the camera system such as, for example, activating image capture by the camera unit and/or activating one or more lights on the modular floodlight system.

  • Publication number: 20240311644
    Abstract: Methods for providing a machine learning (ML) final inference to a user, wherein an ML model and a computer-based content generation system (CGS) receives possible inputs and generates possible inferences, which are stored in association with the possible inputs to a memory so that they may be recalled based on the possible inputs. After receiving an actual input and an acceptability criterion, the CGS identifies a possible input that acceptably matches the actual input by satisfying the acceptability criterion. If a match is identified, the CGS substitutes the matching possible input in place of the actual input and outputs the possible inference corresponding to the matching possible input as the final inference to a user or to a second ML model. When a match is identified, inference is never performed on the actual input and the possible inferences are generated prior to receipt of the actual input.
