Abstract: The present application provides for dynamic buffer management for managing discardable email addresses. A temporary email service provider (TESP) may generate a temporary email address for user registration of a user with an email sender server (ESS), and the TESP may generate a token signed with a private key and associated with the temporary email address. The TESP may then forward a modified email (with an encrypted token) to a primary email service (PEM). The PEM may be configured to validate the token by using public key obtained from a DNS server, and verify that the email meets usage limit criterion stored by the DNS server. If validated and verified, the PEM may then make the email visible in the PEM inbox of the user.

A second example method including receiving a user gesture performed using a finger, hand or arm, determining that the user gesture corresponds to the movement associated with an instrument stem of the playing content item, and causing modification of the play of the content item.

Abstract: Systems and methods of generating guidance for deliveries and monitoring delivered items are disclosed. A visual anchor is associated with at least a portion of a physical location of a destination for delivering a package. Based on delivery instructions for the package, a visual object corresponding to the visual anchor is created. When a match is detected between the visual anchor and the portion of the physical location as displayed within the field of view of a device, the visual object is overlaid on the portion of the physical location as displayed within the field of view of the device. Based on wireless signal characteristics extracted from a designated drop-off area of the delivery address, a user interacting with the package may be detected. If the user's wireless signal characteristic signature indicates that they are unauthorized to interact with the package, an action is performed addressing the unauthorized interaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for detecting and identifying hazardous material on a roadway and causing a vehicle to perform an action in response. The disclosed methods use one or more sensor devices (e.g., an IR camera) to capture data associated with material located within a surrounding environment of the vehicle. The detected material may be determined to be hazardous by analyzing an image of the material captured by the sensor devices. Based on a determined size and location of the hazardous material, the system may determine that a hazardous material event is imminent (e.g., an interaction between one or more vehicles and the material). The vehicle then performs an action to ameliorate the hazardous material event, such as implementing one or more suggested driving maneuvers to avoid an impact with the hazardous material and/or notifying nearby drivers of information related to the hazardous material event.

Abstract: An extended reality (XR) apparatus is provided comprising a wide-angle camera, a telephoto camera and control circuitry, which may cause the wide-angle camera to capture a wide-angle view of an environment and determine a region of interest (ROI) in the wide-angle view, the ROI comprising an object. The control circuitry may cause the telephoto camera to capture a zoomed-in view of the ROI and to generate a disparity map based at least in part on a difference between a location of the object in the wide-angle view and a location of the object in the zoomed-in view. Based on the disparity map, the control circuitry may process the wide-angle view and the zoomed-in view to correlate the location of the object in the wide-angle view with the location of the object in the zoomed-in view and cause display of the processed zoomed-in view overlaid on the processed wide-angle view.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically generating spatial audio tracks for sound sources in a scene or segment of a media asset based on their surrounding physical, acoustic, and environmental conditions, are described. The methods perform video, audio, closed caption, and other contextual analysis to identify sound sources present in a selected scene of a pre-existing media asset. The identified sound sources are scored based on a plurality of factors, including their prominence and contextual relevance to the scene. Surroundings, such as structures (e.g., furniture and occlusions), ambient sounds, and sounds produced by other sound sources, are analyzed to determine their effect on the sound source. Spatial metadata is generated based on this analysis and surrounding context and is used to generate separate individual spatial audio tracks for each sound source that exceeds a relevance threshold.

Additionally, the system identifies nearby devices and establishes a proxy connection with a nearby device when the resource environment of the first device indicates its necessity. The system further determines an engagement level of a user with a connected device and adjusts the connection behavior based on the engagement level.
