Abstract: A method and system for managing delivery of a content stream to a plurality of devices participating in an online conference session, including delivering, to each of the devices, the content stream associated with the online conference session at a first signal quality, receiving an indication signal indicating that a first device is to broadcast the content stream, responsive to the indication signal, increasing a signal quality of the content stream delivered to the first device from the first signal quality to a second signal quality, wherein the second signal quality is higher than the first signal quality, delivering the content stream to the first device at the second signal quality, and delivering the content stream to the rest of the devices at the first signal quality or a third signal quality, wherein the third signal quality is lower than the first signal quality.

Abstract: Disclosed, among other things, is volumetric security, which may provide improved techniques for identifying a subject by receiving inputs from a 3-dimensional (3D), or volumetric, image, a 2-dimensional (2D) image, an audio feed or recording, a biometric scanning system, a password entry system, a location-based technology system such as Global Positioning System (GPS) or interactions between a Bluetooth® beacon and an application on a mobile device, or another data source, comparing the inputs to data stored in one or more databases, assigning weights to the inputs, outputting weighted values, and integrating an algorithm that factors the weighted values to output a subject identifier and a confidence score. The confidence score may define a probability that the identifier correctly identifies a subject.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure implements a method of ranking images in real-time as the images are being received. In this regard, the method comprises receiving a first and a second images from end users. Then, the first and second images are made available to two or more human annotators from network accessible computing devices. The method provided by the present disclosure then receives designations from each of the two or more human annotators regarding whether the first or second image is preferred. From the received input, a determination is made, in the aggregate, whether the two or more human annotators preferred the first or second image. If the two or more human annotators preferred the first image, the method allocates a rank to the first image that is higher than the second image. On the other hand, if the two or more human annotators preferred the second image, the method allocates a rank to the second image that is higher than the first image.
