  • Publication number: 20230224549
    Abstract: A system for distributing media includes a wide area network (WAN), a media player coupled to the WAN at a first home, and a media server coupled to the WAN at a second home for providing media. A service is coupled to the WAN for receiving a request for media from the media player and for establishing a connection between the first and second homes over the WAN. Media is streamed across the WAN from the second home to the first home. The system may include a storage device coupled to the media player where media is transferred across the WAN for storage at the storage device. A media device may be coupled to the media player for playing the streamed/transferred media where the media player and the media device may comprise a television, stereo, or computer and the media item may comprise video, photographs, or audio.

  • Patent number: 11561135
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data processing and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are described. A system may support person detection using an optical camera and temperature detection using a thermal sensor. The thermal sensor may determine a temperature reading corresponding to a tracker for a specific detected person. A processing device may update a current temperature for the tracker based on the temperature reading and may add the updated current temperature to a baseline. For example, the processing device may use AI techniques to manage one or more baselines supporting handling of differences and changes in ambient temperatures. The processing device may determine that the current temperature for the tracker satisfies an alert threshold and may trigger an alert procedure. For example, the processing device may use an active baseline to correct the current temperature from a skin temperature to a body temperature for comparison to a fever detection threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220277162
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data processing and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are described. A system may support person detection using an optical camera. For example, the optical camera may detect motion and the system may implement a neural network to determine if the motion corresponds to a person's body. If the system detects a person, the system may assign a tracker identifier (ID) to the person's body and convert the position of the body in the view of the camera to a position in a horizontal plane. Based on the horizontal view, the system may spatially track the person in an environment, including determining if the person interacts with other people within a threshold distance, whether there are any congestion points in the environment, or both. The system may trigger alert procedures based on the interactions, congestion points, temperature readings for one or more people, or any combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 10375146
    Abstract: A network bridge connects a host device, such as digital media player, cell phone or camera, to content sources over a network to permit the host device to transmit or receive digital media. The network bridge includes a network interface module that identifies at least one media source as well as digital media available on the network. A host device interface module receives, from the host device, file system requests in accordance with a protocol, such as a mass storage protocol. In response to the request, a host device protocol interface module on the network bridge translates the file system request to a request for digital media. The network interface module acquires digital media from the media source, and the host device interface module transfers the digital media to the host device in accordance with the interface protocol. The network bridge may connect to one or more services that provide content to the host device. For example, the services may be accessible over the Internet.
