Abstract: Approaches for determining scheduling assignments for the movement of people along a multi-segment path from a starting location to a destination location, are used to manage crowds, predict crowd behavior, and mitigate crowd turbulence. For example, to mitigate crowd congestion, routing solutions specifying an amount of time to spend at a destination and a departure time can be provided. Itinerary assignments, crowd data, and data associated with an event can be analyzed and weighted to determine scheduling assignments. Scheduling assignments can be validated against current crowd data and event data. Current crowd data and event data and crowd simulation can be used to predict future crowd behavior or crowd problems. Scheduling assignments can be rescheduled to mitigate crowd problems or emergencies.

Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable medium provide secure communication between a first and a second computer system based on supersingular isogeny elliptic curve cryptography. The first computer system and the second computer system each determine kernels KA and KB including computing mP+nQ by accessing a lookup table stored in a memory that contains a range of doubles of an end point of the respective kernels, where P and Q are points on the public elliptic curve and m and n are integers. The first computer system and the second computer system compute secret isogenies by determining a respective kernel KBA and KAB using mixed-base multiplicands with a single inversion, including computing the respective kernel KBA and KAB by converting the multiplicands to base 32, and computing scalar multiplications using the base 32 multiplicands.

Abstract: Approaches describe detecting and predicting crowd congestion in real-time for large gatherings, for example large religious mass gatherings. Approaches may utilize image and/or video data, and/or pedestrian trajectory data. The various pieces of information may be identified, extracted, and/or determined from a variety of different disaggregated sources and may be aggregated, and/or determined to generate a congestion detection score and/or score map that is indicative of the degree of crowd congestion in a geographic region and can forecast future crowd congestion in the geographic region. Approaches may be used to monitor a crowd to prevent or mitigate crowd disasters. Moreover, approaches may be used by crowd management entities to timely detect congested regions and manage the crowd efficiently.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for transferring data from an apparatus called multi-protocol gateway in a network seamlessly that operates using a particular protocol, to another device that is either in the same network or outside operating in a totally different protocol is described. Today, to accomplish this requires external units, one per technology. For example, for supporting both WiFi and WiMAX devices today, we would require a WiFi access point, a WiMAX base station and a router. We provide plug-ins that would handle multiple protocols within the same gateway, to cater to devices that operate in those protocols. The apparatus translates between various protocols in the back end making it inexpensive and portable. The unit is scalable, grows with technology, and acts as a gateway to a local network. The device can be configured to address Quality of Service, Priority between technologies and fault-tolerance through management layer.
