Abstract: Example implementations are directed to a method of receiving information associated with an activity, analyze the information to identify a first pattern and a second pattern, generate a customized transition model for returning to the first pattern. In response to a detected trigger indicating a transition to the first pattern, the method assesses context factors to apply the customized transition to dynamically manage access to digital resources during the transition to the first pattern. In response to a determination that a transition to the first pattern satisfies a threshold, the method restores access to the digital resources.

Abstract: Example implementations are directed to a method of receiving information associated with an activity, analyzing the information to identify a first pattern and a second pattern, and generating a customized recommendation model for the second pattern based on the first pattern. In response to a detected trigger indicating a transition to the second pattern, the method assesses context factors to verify the transition to the second pattern without interrupting the first pattern. Based on the verification, the method applies the model to provide redirection based on the recommendation.

Abstract: Technologies for generating a warning based on environmental conditions sensed in a vehicle include an in-vehicle warning system for determining whether an operator of the vehicle is present, determining whether a non-operator occupant is present in the vehicle, and determining whether environmental conditions sensed within the vehicle satisfy a reference condition threshold. Such technologies may also include performing an emergency action in response to determining that the environmental conditions sensed within the vehicle satisfy the reference condition threshold, determining that the operator of the vehicle is not present, and determining that the non-operator occupant is present in the vehicle.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods for helping a participant, who is represented in a remote space by a remote device, to understand the physical state of the remote device in the remote space. This is done through physical and virtual changes in their local space that reflect their own remote physical representation. For example, if their action in the local space causes the remote telepresence robot to rotate 90 degrees, their local display through which the control the robot might rotate 9 degrees. The described methods will help participants have a greater sense of presence in a remote space.

Abstract: Technologies for interacting with media content on a media consumption device include playing media content in a first display window displayed on a display screen. In response to receiving an input gesture, the first display window may be shifted on the display screen while the playback of the media content is adjusted based on the input gesture. Additionally, a new display window may be shifted on to the display screen. A frame of the media content occurring at a determined skip point may be displayed in the new display window.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for controlling primary and secondary displays from a single touchscreen are described herein. An apparatus comprises a touchscreen display, a processor communicatively coupled to the touchscreen display, a detection module communicatively coupled to the processor, and a control module communicatively coupled to the processor. The detection module detects a particular configuration of a plurality of contact points occurring concurrently on the touchscreen display and detects a touch interaction sequence after detecting the particular configuration of the plurality of contact points. The control module controls a pointer on the secondary display based on the touch interaction sequence.

Abstract: Technologies for detection of and response to extra-device touch events may include mobile device sensors, such as accelerometers, that detect that a touch event has taken place by detecting device movement in response to the touch event. In some embodiments, a touch event feature vector is generated from sensor readings and passed to a classifier that determines the touch event location. Other touch event information, such as timing, intensity and a profile of the object that caused the touch event can also be determined. The detecting and locating of touch events allows the interaction area of a mobile device to be extended beyond the physical bounds of the device, and allows multiple users to simultaneously use a mobile device in a more convenient manner. Applications executing on a mobile device or the device's operating system can take various actions based on the touch event's location.

Abstract: Technologies for determining a context of a reusable container are disclosed. The reusable container includes a container sensor coupled thereto. The container sensor generates sensor data indicative of a context of the reusable container and transmits the sensor data to a separate computing device. The container sensor may be attached to various portions of the reusable container, such as a carrying strap, clasp, latch, and/or enclosure wall. In some embodiments, the container sensor is embodied as a low-power sensor to periodically or responsively transmit the sensor data. The sensor data may be analyzed by the separate computing device to determine the context of the reusable container and/or a context of a user of the reusable container. A security event may also be detected based on the sensor data.
