  • Publication number: 20240127683
    Abstract: In an example method, a mobile device obtains a signal indicating an acceleration measured by a sensor over a time period. The mobile device determines an impact experienced by the user based on the signal. The mobile device also determines, based on the signal, one or more first motion characteristics of the user during a time prior to the impact, and one or more second motion characteristics of the user during a time after the impact. The mobile device determines that the user has fallen based on the impact, the one or more first motion characteristics of the user, and the one or more second motion characteristics of the user, and in response, generates a notification indicating that the user has fallen.

  • Publication number: 20240073478
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media that utilize deep learning to map query videos to known videos so as to identify a provenance of the query video or identify editorial manipulations of the query video relative to a known video. For example, the video comparison system includes a deep video comparator model that generates and compares visual and audio descriptors utilizing codewords and an inverse index. The deep video comparator model is robust and ignores discrepancies due to benign transformations that commonly occur during electronic video distribution.
