Abstract: Embodiments relate to enabling a user of data-sharing applications executing on a computing device to indirectly exchange objects between the applications by adding objects from the applications to a journal application that manages a display area. The objects are displayed in the display area. The journal application collects metadata related to the objects and automatically curates lists of the objects according to the metadata. Curation of a list may involve moving objects into a list, merging objects, creating new objects out of content of existing objects, grouping objects according to a commonality thereof, etc. Machine learning services may be invoked to acquire additional metadata about the objects and to make curation decisions.

Abstract: A location system includes two entities that are attempting to co-locate one another. The entities detect and transmit locating information, such as image/video data identifying information, image/video data of the environment, audio data of the environment, or detected signals, to either the other entity or a micro-location server. Analysis is performed on the signals to determine whether the entities are in the same or a similar proximity. Example analysis includes facial recognition of a user (a first entity) in video data captured by a vehicle (a second entity). If the data satisfies a location matching condition (the entities are in a close proximity), then a location refining signal is generated and transmitted to one or both of the entities.
