Abstract: Disclosed is managing (creating and maintaining) attendance/participation data describing remote attendance of attendees of an event, or a replay of the event. The event can be a virtual reality event. When a remote user attends an event, subsequent viewers of the event replay can see a digital representation (e.g., an avatar) of the remote user within the replay as having attended the event in-person. Subsequent replays include digital representations of the remote user and the user(s) that viewed previously replay(s) to emulate their attendance. User can manage their own attendance data, including to obtain proof of attendance. A user can delete his or her presence at an event, such that replays after the deletion do not include that user's representation. A user can go anonymous with respect to an event, such that any replays after the anonymity choice include only a generic representation of the attendee.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards determining that information of interest, corresponding to as a meaningful event, is available to be captured and saved, and capturing the information. When an event is determined to satisfy a defined meaningful event likelihood criterion, sensor data (which can include media data), time data and location data are collected and associated with the meaningful event, e.g., in a data store. A presentation/package is generated from the various data, and maintained for subsequent access, e.g., for sending to a recipient. The presentation can include annotation data. The presentation can be conditionally marked for future presentation if and when certain condition data is satisfied. The presentation can be associated with at least one conditional gift.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards inserting user-personalized or other user-related supplementary media content into primary media content being presented to the user. The personalized media content can be inserted into available insertion slots associated with the primary media content. The inserted content is based on the context of the primary media, e.g., a location or theme of a movie scene. For example, upon obtaining primary media content that is video, supplementary media content related to a group of frames of the primary media content can be determined. Supplementary media content is combined with the primary media content at a presentation position associated with the group of frames to output modified media content. For a video, for example, the supplementary content can be inserted between scenes, overlaid onto a scene, or presented proximate a scene.

Abstract: The technology described herein is generally directed towards collecting digital twin datasets from individual users to represent their individual physical, emotional, chemical and/or environmental conditions. A user's digital twin is matched to one or more other digital twins with similar physical, emotional, chemical, and/or environmental conditions. The matched digital twins can share data and learnings via a virtual anonymous relationship. Multiple digital twins that represent users with similar conditions may be found and treated collectively as a group; a user via his or her digital twin can poll the group to receive and process responses from each respondent. A digital twin can be a therapist or a researcher who emulates a patient and uses the emulated digital twin as a proxy to monitor and process the results of other digital twins.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards collecting data, including multimedia content, for creating a multimedia presentation associated with an event being experienced by a user. Location data of a user's mobile device can be used to determine availability of sensor(s) within a proximity of the mobile device, along with one or more multimedia sensor of the mobile device. The user can select a source group of the available sensors to obtain data from them, including multimedia content such as camera video and microphone audio feeds. The sensor data received from the selected sensor source group is used, optionally along with previously recorded multimedia content, to create and output the multimedia presentation associated with the event. The user can add annotations including user input and the previously recorded multimedia content for inclusion in the multimedia presentation.

Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed towards determining a sub-content element within electronically presented media content based on where a user is currently gazing within the content presentation. The sub-content elements of the book have been previously mapped to their respective page and coordinates on the page, for example. As a more particular example, a user can be gazing at a certain paragraph on a displayed page of an electronic book, and that information can be detected and used to associate an annotation with that paragraph for personal output and/or sharing with others. A user can input the annotation data in various ways, including verbally for speech recognition or for audio replay.

Abstract: The technology described herein is generally directed towards the use of spatial audio to provide directional cues to assist a user in looking in a desired direction in a user perceived environment, which can be a real-world or a virtual environment. Location data for a user in three-dimensional space can be obtained. A direction of view of the user within the user-perceived environment is determined. Spatial audio can be output that is perceived as coming from a position within the user-perceived environment, such as to provide directional cues directed to changing the direction of view of the user to a different view. The spatial audio can provide prompts to the user to adjust his or her vision towards the desired direction, for example. The user's location and direction of view can be mapped to audio that is relevant to the user's direction of view when at that location.

Abstract: The technology described herein is generally directed towards allowing a user to switch among media streams of live events, including generally concurrent events, and among different media streams that are available for the same event. The media streams can be virtual reality streams, video streams and audio streams, and can be from different viewing and/or listening perspectives and quality. The user can see (and hear) previews of a stream, and see metadata associated with each available stream, such as viewer rating, cost to use, video quality data, and a count of current viewers. Via a social media service, a user can sees whether any friends are also viewing. An event that is not streamed in virtual reality can be viewed via a virtual reality device by presenting the event via a virtual element, such as a virtual television set, within the virtual environment.

Abstract: An access gateway may control access of user devices to remote computer resource systems in a multi-resource computing environment. The access gateway may determine an assurance level associated with a user of the multi-resource environment, where the assurance level is based on multiple authentication factors included in multiple previous access requests. The access gateway may receive, from a user device, an additional access request to access an additional resource system in the multi-resource environment. Based on a comparison of the assurance level with a threshold authentication level for the additional resource system, the access gateway may allow or deny access to the additional resource system. In addition, based on the comparison, the access system may request additional authentication data from the user device.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an authentication tool includes a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory stores a workflow to authenticate a user to access an application. The workflow includes a first control frame for a first authentication type and a second control frame for a second authentication type. The authentication types are different and include one of a device identification, a biometric identification, a personal identification number (PIN) identification, and a security question identification. The interface receives a request to access the application and receives a first input and a second input. The processor determines a first numerical score in response to the first input and a second numerical score in response to the second input. The processor allows the user to access the application upon a determination that the scores exceed a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A request from a party is received by a receiver from a remote system. The request from the party is received when the party attempts to obtain a service using the remote system. A selective determination is made to request, over a network, authentication of the party by a remote biometric system. A request is sent to the remote system for the party to provide a biometric sample responsive to determining to request authentication of the party. The service is provided contingent upon authentication of the party by the remote biometric system.
