Abstract: Systems, methods and media for managing digital rights and pre-verification of structural integrity in three-dimensional (3D) printing are provided. In one example, a system comprises at least one module, executing on one or more computer processors, to receive a request from a user to print a 3D object by a 3D printer or printing service and receive a conditional authorization from an owner of digital rights in the 3D object to print the 3D object. The conditional authorization can include a printing specification or limitation. The at least one module pre-verifies, for structural integrity once printed by the 3D printer or printing service, a digital model on which the 3D object is based. In response to a received conditional authorization, the at least one module transmits instructions to the 3D printer or printing service to print the 3D object.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve an apparatus, systems, and methods for soiled garment detection and notification. The method may include receiving a measure of odor being released from a garment from a soiled garment detection apparatus. The method may further include determining that the measure of odor exceeds an acceptable odor threshold. A message may then be sent to a user device associated with the garment (e.g. a device of the owner of the garment) in response to determining that the measure of odor exceeds the threshold. The message may include a notification that the garment is soiled, and a suggested course of action to improve the measure of odor released by the garment.

Abstract: An example embodiment includes a system server configured for social network-based inventory management. The system server includes processors and non-transitory computer-readable storage media communicatively coupled to the processors. The media store instructions that, in response to execution by the processors, cause the processors to perform operations. The operations include receiving category specifications and access category definitions for access categories. The access category definitions include relationship criteria for the access categories. The operations include identifying a relationship between a second user and a first user, comparing an identified relationship with the relationship criteria, and determining which of the access categories the second user is included based on the comparison.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, actions taken on a web site using one device initiate a workflow on a different device. A main process, including a series of steps, is executed on one user device. When a particular step in the main process is reached, a secondary process is then initiated on another device, such as a mobile device.

Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for dynamically ordering content and discrete content segments are presented. A set of discrete content segments is received having a first order for distributing the set of discrete content segments during a display of a media stream. Each discrete content segment includes a set of ordering factors. Event data is received. The event data is representative of a set of events depicted by the media stream. A set of event instances is determined from the event data representing the set of events depicted by the media stream. A second order is generated for the set of discrete content segments based on the set of event instances and the sets of ordering factors.

Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for generating recommendations for data and prioritizing data based on the recommendations are presented. The system accesses an item listing including an item description and determines the item listing is a candidate for a recommendation label. The system receives a recommendation indication for the item listing. The recommendation indication represents a recommendation for the item listing between a first price and a second price. In response to the recommendation indication, the system associates a recommendation tag with the item listing and causes presentation of the item listing with a representation of the recommendation tag.

Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate user commentary are described. In some embodiments, a method receives program content from a content source and identifies data describing the program content. The program content is communicated to a first device for presentation to a user. The data describing the program content is communicated to a second device for presentation to the user substantially simultaneously with the presentation of the program content on the first display device. A user commentary is received from the second device. The user commentary is generated by the user and associated with the program content.

Abstract: In various example embodiments, systems and methods for enabling users to modify elements of a traffic commute are presented. For example, one embodiment involves a server computer receiving a bid value and a commute path from a client device. The server computer analyzes the received information to identify an available commute modification associated with the commute path, makes and verifies a modification in communication with traffic devices such as a street light if the bid is accepted, and then informs the client device that the modification impacting the user's traffic commute was accepted. In certain embodiments, different groups of users with different commutes associated with conflicting commute modifications bid against each other.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and computer-implemented methods for creating and maintaining a high-quality image marketplace. Consistent with some embodiments, a method includes receiving a request from a device for an image corresponding to a location. An image file corresponding to the location is then retrieved from an image repository of the image marketplace. The method further includes composing image data using the image file, and determining a price for the image data based on a relationship between the requesting device and the location. The image data may then be transmitted to the requesting device in response to receiving a payment of the price.

Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for visual search and associated data decay models are presented. In one example embodiment, image history data associated with an output display of the machine is captured. The image history data is analyzed to identify groups of images associated with a plurality of events, and context information is identified that is associated with the plurality of events. One or more images for each event of the plurality of events is selected as a key image for an associated event as part of a plurality of key images, and a searchable event timeline index is generated. Key frames from an index of activities of one or more devices may then be displayed as part of a user search for information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authentication of users based on biometrics and determination of group characteristics based on biometrics are provided. Biometric profiles of users, which include reference biometric data for behavioral patterns and/or physiological characteristics, are stored in a biometric system. A biometric capture device captures a biometric sample that includes a representation of one or more biometrics of a user. The biometric system determines biometric data from the biometric sample and compares the biometric data with the reference biometric data. The biometric system may authenticate the user based on the comparison alone or in combination with other authentication techniques. Further, for biometric samples that include a representation of biometrics for a group of users, the biometric system may determine a group characteristic from the biometric sample and provide services relevant to the group.
