  • Publication number: 20260091267
    Abstract: An exercise machine includes a cable. It further includes an interface to a moveable camera device coupled with the exercise machine. It further includes a processor configured to receive a cable-based measurement associated with an exercise performed by a user. The processor is further configured to receive, from the moveable camera device, video information associated with the exercise. The processor is further configured to provide a workout determination based at least in part on both the cable-based measurement and the video information received from the moveable camera device.

  • Publication number: 20250168462
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for, in response to determining that an election to opt into a privacy policy has not been received from the user (or that an election to opt out of the privacy policy has been received from the user) using limited functionality of a data provider system to select, from a set of candidate data items and using a particular selection criterion (not based on personal information of the user), data items to be transmitted. System and methods may be further provided for, in response to determining that an election to opt into the privacy policy has been received (or that an election to opt out of the privacy policy has not been received), using full functionality search of the data provider system to select data items from the set of candidate data items based at least in part on the accessed personal information.

  • Patent number: 12293757
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for training a control system based on prior audio inputs. The disclosed systems and methods receive a non-lexical or interjectional audio input. State change indications are also received and stored by the system within a predefined period of time starting from the time the system received the audio input. The system then receives a subsequent audio input. If the audio inputs of both the audio input and the subsequent audio input match, and contextual information for the audio input and the subsequent audio input match, the system stores a match association, comprising a confidence factor, for the subsequent audio input to the audio input in the associative data structure. If the confidence factor is greater than a preconfigured confidence level, the system executes one or more functions based on stored state change indications.

  • Publication number: 20240040204
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing an integrated search is provided. An interface is provided that allows users to search and select any data related to a searchable term. Searchable terms may comprise titles of content, actors, and tags. Upon receiving results from the initial search, the user progresses through the initial search by selecting a result from the initial search and conducting a further search of that selection. The search may progress through many layers of searching in order to find information useful to the user and the user may perform actions based upon results of the search. The search implements a display with two columns, the first column displaying selectable data, and the second column displaying results to the selected data. The search is further customizable based upon a privacy level selected by the user.

  • Publication number: 20240033571
    Abstract: An exercise device includes an actuator that provides resistance to a user. It further includes a sensor that senses the state of the actuator over time. It further includes an emergency event handler that receives a stream of information from the sensor and determines, based at least in part on the stream of information, a potential occurrence of an emergency condition.

  • Patent number: 11743549
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for, in response to determining that a user has not elected to opt into (or that the user has elected to opt out of) the privacy policy, using limited functionality of an electronic search system to select data items from a set of candidate data items to be transmitted using a first selection criteria (which is not based on personal information of the user). The system and methods may be further configured to, in response to determining that the user has elected to opt into (or that the user has elected not to opt out of) the privacy policy, access personal information of the user, and use full functionality of the electronic search system to select data items from the same set of candidate data items based at least in part on the accessed personal information about the user.

  • Patent number: 11113828
    Abstract: An image of at least a portion of a room may be received, the image of the room comprising an image of a sensor mounted in the room. At least one optical parameter related to the image of the room may also be received. A distance may be determined between the sensor and a camera that captured the image of the room, wherein the determination of the distance is based at least in part on the optical parameters and on known physical dimensions of the sensor. A sensitivity requirement of the sensor may be determined, based on the distance. The determined sensitivity may be sent to control logic of the sensor.
