Abstract: Providing enhanced video content includes processing at least one video feed through at least one spatiotemporal pattern recognition algorithm that uses machine learning to develop an understanding of a plurality of events and to determine at least one event type for each of the plurality of events. The event type includes an entry in a relationship library detailing a relationship between two visible features. Extracting and indexing a plurality of video cuts from the video feed is performed based on the at least one event type determined by the understanding that corresponds to an event in the plurality of events detectable in the video cuts. Lastly, automatically and under computer control, an enhanced video content data structure is generated using the extracted plurality of video cuts based on the indexing of the extracted plurality of video cuts.

Abstract: A system and method for searching a video stream collected by a camera in a video surveillance system for an object's placement or displacement is disclosed. The searching includes an interactive question/answer approach that allows for a video snippet including the object's placement or displacement to be found quickly without the need for complicated video analytics. During the search, frames from algorithmically selected points in the video stream are presented to a user for review. The user reviews each frame and indicates if he/she sees the object. Based on the user's response the searching algorithmically reduces the portion video stream that is searched until a snippet of a video is found that includes the object's placement or displacement.

Abstract: A Digital Rights Management (DRM) system is provided that reduces time for a move transaction using DTCP-IP when a copy is moved back or checked back in to an originating Personal Video Recorder (PVR). During a DTCP MOVE transaction, instead of transferring the full asset in a check back in operation to the PVR, a unique and abbreviated representation of the original copy of the asset would be made for the transfer. This abbreviated representation takes the form of a hash constructed from a hashing function which uses characteristics of the asset as inputs. This hash will have to be a unique and near guaranteed indicator of the original content, to a high probability, so that the copy control system could live up to the spirit of the DTCP spec and the DLNA interoperability guidelines.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods that facilitate transitioning a current playback of a video in a video application to a video widget when the video application is moved to a background of a multitasking operating system in which the video application is executing. The transition occurs seamlessly at a point of the current playback in the video application when the video application is moved to the background. Furthermore, upon the video application being moved to the foreground of the multitasking operating system, current playback of the video in the video widget is seamlessly transitioned to the video application.

Abstract: An enhanced video of an event in a first video feed, which is identified by a spatiotemporal pattern recognition algorithm that uses machine learning for understanding the event, is produced by including in the enhanced video an animation that characterizes a person's motions that are derived from a machine learning-based understanding of an event in a second video.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for garment property determination are disclosed. One or more movable portions of a mannequin are adjusted, thereby causing the mannequin to change from a first size to a second size. Signals are received from one or more sensors of the mannequin, and pressure readings applied to at least one location on an exterior surface of the mannequin are determined from the signals. Data that correlates at least a first pressure reading with the first size of the mannequin and that correlates at least a second pressure reading with the second size of the mannequin are stored.

Abstract: A media system generally includes a memory device that stores an event datastore that stores a plurality of event records, each event record corresponding to a respective event and event metadata describing at least one feature of the event. The media system (a) receives a request to generate an aggregated clip comprised of one or more media segments, where each media segment depicts a respective event; (b) for each event record from at least a subset of the plurality of event records, determines an interest level of the event corresponding to the event record; (c) determines one or more events to depict in the aggregated clip based on the respective interest levels of the one or more events; (d) generates the aggregated clip based on the respective media segments that depict the one or more events; and (e) transmits the aggregated clip to a user device.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a system that facilitates access control. During operation, the system generates, by a first mobile computing device associated with a first user, a request to record information of a second user associated with a second mobile computing device. In response to receiving, from the second mobile computing device, an acceptance of the request, the system records, by the first mobile computing device, the information of the second user based on recording-related preferences of the second user. In response to receiving, from the second mobile computing device, a rejection of the request, the system precludes the first mobile computing device from recording the information of the second user, thereby facilitating intuitive and socially aligned access control.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for adjusting the priority of media assets scheduled to be recorded to reflect the current behavior and interests of the user. For example, a household with young children may have scheduled recordings for the DVR with a wide variety of television shows of different genres (e.g., Children's Shows, Sports Games, and Crime Procedurals) and as the children grow up, the preference may gradually shift towards other types of shows. As this shift of interest happens over time, it can be difficult or impossible for the user to change the priority of each of the media assets of the scheduled recordings each time the interests of the user changes an incremental amount.

Abstract: In telecommunication video calling and videoconferencing systems, it is strongly desirable for remote observers to interact with natural gaze cues. In natural gaze interaction, the camera for a source observer appears to be co-located in the eye region of a destination observer image and vice versa. The appearance of camera co-location is achieved for stereoscopic camera pair that are placed either side of an autostereoscopic 3D display. Such cameras typically provide stereoscopic images that have disparity distributions that provide unnatural perceived head roundness. The present embodiments achieve perceived head roundness that is closer to that expected in natural face to face interaction by modification of perceived local depth in detected regions of the head.
