Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, devices, and machine-readable mediums for implementing gesture-based signature authentication. In one embodiment, a method may involve recording a first gesture-based signature and storing the recorded first gesture-based signature. Then the method compares the first gesture-based signature with a second gesture-based signature. Then the method verifies the first gesture-based signature as authentic when the first gesture-based signature is substantially similar to the second gesture-based signature.

Abstract: A service may be any device hardware and/or software, or portion thereof, that can be identified by a provider for sharing with or selling to a consumer device in accord with a negotiation for its sharing or selling. The consumer may be any machine capable of consuming or providing a service; artificial intelligence may facilitate the sharing/selling. A witness may: track negotiations for sharing/selling, authenticate consumers/providers, and facilitate financial payments between consumers/providers. Financial charges may be micro-charges, e.g., very low cost. A consumer/provider may have an associated reputation that may affect the negotiation, and a party may be transitory and/or in an environment risking interruption of the sharing or selling, and these characteristics may affect the negotiation. The witness may electively cover losses to the consumer/provider, particularly when the cost of the transaction is a micro-charge.

Abstract: Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to communicate information to a user using a first style of communication, receive language-based communication from the user, and determine that the language-based communication indicates a desire of the user to change from the first style of communication to a second style of communication.

Abstract: Techniques and configurations for streaming metadata between devices are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, streaming textual data, for example subtitles or closed caption data, are provided from a consumer television or set top box (STB) platform to a tablet computer platform. XMPP and BOSH are used as infrastructural components to help establish the client/server connection between the platforms. These components also maintain this connection and support real-time communications and transfer of data between the platforms. In an example embodiment, an application on the primary platform has a string of metadata which is communicated to a client application on a second platform. For example, client application may be a smart phone app in the form of an HTML5 app running on browser. The system may stream and control bi-directionally. In this architecture an XMPP-implementing JavaScript library allows XMPP client interaction through an XML stanza.
