  • Publication number: 20240121128
    Abstract: A method for provisioning a group of devices with control-group data defining one or more functional interrelationships between the devices. The method includes providing a GUI defining an online application marketplace, the GUI specifying multiple applications available for download, each application including a different respective set of control-group data defining a different respective set of one or more functional interrelationships. Further, the method includes receiving user input selecting a given one of the applications, the selected application defining given control-group data defining a given set of one or more functional interrelationships. And the method includes responsively (i) downloading the selected application and (ii) provisioning the devices of the group with the given set of control-group data, the provisioning establishing the given set of one or more functional interrelationships between the devices of the group.

  • Publication number: 20240097931
    Abstract: A method and system for dynamically controlling operation of a first device, the first device being configurable to respond to receipt of primitive user input (e.g., push of a button on the first device) by carrying out a control action with respect to one or more second devices. An example method includes detecting a context state such as time of day and/or location of the first device. Further, the example method includes, using the detected context state as a basis to control what control action the first device will take in response to the first device receiving the primitive user input, such as which second device the first device will control in response to receiving the primitive user input and/or controlling what operational state of a second device the first device will control in response to receiving the primitive user input.

  • Publication number: 20240091618
    Abstract: A golf swing training device attachable to a golfer's wrist. A rigid hand stop prevents the golfer's hand from bending beyond a pre-established distance or angle during a golf backswing. The rigid hand stop is configured and positioned to not interfere with, or restrict, the golfer's address of the golf ball or the early part of the backswing. The rigid hand stop allows desired movement of, and prevents undesired movement of, the golfer's rear hand (i.e., right hand for right-handed golfers and left hand for left-handed golfers) as the golfer moves from ball address through the backswing to the downswing to the impact position and finally the follow through. A wedge member may be integral with, or removably attachable to, the golf swing training device to maintain wrists of the user in a spaced relationship through a golf swing.

  • Publication number: 20240098457
    Abstract: A method for distributed maintenance of operational data among a plurality of devices including a first group of functionally interrelated devices that are provisioned with a same set of control-group data as each other, the control-group data (i) identifying the devices of the first group, (ii) defining one or more functional interrelationships between the devices of the first group, (iii) indicating an operational state of at least one device of the first group, and (iv) being usable by the devices of the first group as a basis to control operation of the devices of the first group. A given device of the first group detects a change to the control-group data provisioned at the given device, and responsive to the detecting, the change gets propagated from the given device to each other device of the first group, to synchronize the control-group data among the devices of the first group.

  • Publication number: 20240071342
    Abstract: The technology can use a music generation platform to ingest raw audio to generate multi-level music (i.e., multiple streams corresponding to different instruments) based on user steerings, such as genre, artist, style, etc. Implementations can apply an encoder to take the raw audio and generate a sequence of discrete representations. Implementations can then input the sequence of discrete representations to an embedding layer that converts the sequence of discrete representations to sequences of embeddings in the same dimensionality, which are summed together to form a single sequence. The sequence of summed embeddings can be provided to a neural network that produces sequences of predicted embeddings for multiple instruments, which are then used by a coder layer to generate instrument-specific code sequences.
