Abstract: A process of collaboration between different agencies for classifying an event captured in a video stream. In operation, a video stream captured by a camera operated by a public-safety agency is analyzed using a first video analytics engine trained using a first set of video analytics data associated with the public-safety agency and an abnormal event with respect to a person or object captured in the video stream is detected. When it is determined that the video stream is captured at a location that is proximity to an operating environment of a non-public-safety agency, a query is transmitted to a second video analytics engine trained using a second set of video analytics data associated with the non-public-safety agency. The abnormal event is reclassified as a normal event when a response from the second video analytics engine indicates that the abnormal event is normal within the operating environment of the non-public-safety agency.

Abstract: A method and system for employing video analytics in providing a situational awareness alert is disclosed. The method includes automatically detecting that a first person has entered a coverage area of a security camera. The method also includes automatically determining that the first person is registered in a monitoring service associated with the coverage area. The method also includes determining that a plurality of environmental and geospatial parameters associated with the coverage area satisfy a situational awareness threshold applicable to the first person. In response to the situational awareness threshold being satisfied, video analytics is employed to analyze video captured by security camera(s) to determine that there exists a second person having a respective Point Of View (POV) that permits staring observation of the first person by the second person.

Abstract: When the two electronic devices are connected (e.g., wired or wireless connection), a determination is made as to whether a contextual state of at least one of the electronic devices (e.g., a smartphone or tablet) indicates that a virtual view of the electronic device is to be displayed by the other electronic device. The contextual state may include, for example, whether the displays of the two electronic devices are spatially aligned, whether the one electronic device is upside down, whether a display of the one electronic device is turned off, and so forth. The virtual view of the electronic device is a display of the user interface of the electronic device, allowing a user to interact with the electronic device via the virtual view of the electronic device.

Abstract: In aspects of event-based authorization transmission across mobile devices, a first mobile device detects an event associated with a first application on the first mobile device and transmits an interface of a second application installed on the first mobile device to a second mobile device based on the event associated with the first application and a request for the second mobile device to use the second application installed on the first mobile device. When the first mobile device receives an authorization code from a remote device associated with the second application, the first mobile device transmits the authorization code to the second mobile device. When the first mobile device receives a request for a third application associated with the second application, the first mobile device transmits an interface of the third application to the second mobile device.

Abstract: In aspects of user preferences based on environmental context, a mobile device implements a context suitability manager that obtains media content related to a user. The context suitability manager determines an environmental context based on the media content related to the user. The context suitability manager can determine one or more user preferences associated with activity recommendations for the user given the environmental context derived from the media content related to the user. For example, the one or more user preferences may be based on user participation in an activity indicated by the media content, and/or based on visual content depicted in the media content that is related to the user.

Abstract: In aspects of personalized weather insight information, a mobile device implements a context suitability manager that receives an input including a user preference related to a weather condition. The context suitability manager also receives a weather forecast indicating the weather condition. Based on the user preference related to the weather condition, the context suitability manager can generate personalized weather insight information related to the weather forecast. In some examples, the personalized weather insight information is based on a group context that considers the user preference related to the weather condition and at least one additional user preference related to the weather condition. The context suitability manager outputs the personalized weather insight information for display on a display device.

Abstract: In aspects of authentication based on modulated auditory input, a computing device implements an auditory authentication manager that receives an auditory input as an account access request, such as via a user interface on a mobile device. A voice modulation system of the auditory authentication manager modulates the auditory input to generate a modulated auditory input. The auditory authentication manager can then compare the modulated auditory input to stored modulated voice data, such as generated from an initial auditory input previously received as provided by a user of the mobile device. The auditory authentication manager can authenticate the auditory input for the account access request based at least in part on the comparison of the modulated auditory input to the modulated voice data.

Abstract: A device, system, and method for incident air space management is provided. A system includes a controller and a signaling unmanned aerial vehicle (SUAV) associated with a public-safety entity. The controller dispatches the SUAV to a location of a public-safety incident and generates a restricted airspace boundary for airspace, associated with the incident, within which the SUAV operates. The controller activates a restricted airspace beacon of the SUAV that correlates with the restricted airspace boundary. The SUAV broadcasts the restricted airspace beacon, indicating the restricted airspace boundary, relative to a current location of the SUAV. The restricted airspace beacon is operational in at least two modes: a stationary incident mode, during which the SUAV and the restricted airspace boundary are stationary relative to a fixed location of incident; and a mobile incident mode, during which the SUAV and the restricted airspace boundary are mobile and tracking a moving incident location.

Abstract: Techniques for screenshot capture based on content type are described and are implementable to enable a screenshot of content displayed on a device to be captured based on a content type for the content. The described implementations, for instance, automatically determine a content type for content displayed on a device and capture a screenshot based on the content type, such as whether the content represents static content or dynamic content. Further, implementations enable a query to be utilized to determine whether to generate one or more of a static screenshot of visual content or a dynamic screenshot of visual content.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for volume control of an electronic device is provided herein. During operation, a volume-control knob will increase a volume of sound output from a device in a substantially linear fashion (versus knob rotation angle) as a volume-control knob is rotated. Once the volume-control knob is rotated past a predetermined amount, a volume boost is activated, increasing the volume level in a non-linear fashion. More particularly, in one embodiment of the present invention, once the volume-control knob is rotated past the predetermined amount (e.g., 300 degrees), the volume will be increased instantaneously (e.g., by 25%).

Abstract: Techniques for user image presentation based on region priority are described and are implementable to enable an image of a user to be inserted into media content. For instance, media content is generated that includes at least one high priority region and at least one low priority region. Further, a user image is captured to be inserted into the media content. Accordingly, the user image is inserted into the at least one low priority region to avoid obstructing high priority visuals displayed within the at least one high priority region.

Abstract: A method and system for controlled absence of moving objects from the field of view of a camera during a defined time period is disclosed. When data generated by an at least one electronics device or a respective controller thereof confirms that the physical environment requirements of the at least one electronics device will be met, or confirms that the at least one electronics device will be controlled to meet the operational requirements, the video camera is allowed to enter a mode where the capturing of the video is impeded during the time period. Conversely, when the data indicates that the physical environment requirements will not be met, or that the at least one electronics device will not be controlled to meet the operational requirements, the system ensures that the capturing of the video is not impeded during the time period.
