Abstract: A system and method can provide charter-based access to resources using an object model. Charters are defined by an administrator to have certain markings, each marking indicating a control (e.g., permission, credential, qualification, constraint, requirement, etc.) that regulates work under the charter. Users are also associated with markings. A user starts a session to access the system and is authenticated. The system determines charters having markings that the user has, and these charters are provided to the user to select from. Selecting a charter allows the user access to resources associated with the charter, under the controls indicated by the markings. Charters, controls, qualifications, resources, authorizations and links between them can be implemented using an object model. Markings can control session parameters (e.g.

Abstract: A modular biometric retrofit device and universal mounting assembly are disclosed herein. The device integrates RGB and near-infrared imaging, anti-spoofing optics, an internal rechargeable battery, and a USB-C power and data interface within a compact housing that can be attached to existing point-of-sale terminals, kiosks, handheld payment units, drive-thru menu boards, order-confirmation screens, speaker boxes, and humanoid robots for adding biometric identification capabilities thereto. The universal mounting assembly includes a variety of interchangeable mechanical and electrical adapters—clamp, suction, recessed, magnetic, adhesive, and vendor-specific brackets—enabling attachment without modification of host hardware. The retrofit device provides multi-spectral liveness detection, extended-range operation, and secure data communication for payment authorization, creating a standardized platform for biometric identification across retail and service environments.

Abstract: A computer system is configured to receiving a data set from a data provider and automatically save the data set in a quarantine database where copying, moving, and sharing of the data set are restricted until the data set is released by a data provider. The data set is parsed to find and mark portions with potentially sensitive information. At least those parts are reviewed by a data governor, who can confirm, add, edit, or remove markers. Those parts can be visually indicated to the data governor, along with a preview of, metadata about, and analysis of the data set. After reviewing at least the automatically marked portions, the data governor can release the data set to a non-quarantine database where another user can use the data set. The user is restricted from accessing the quarantine database.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing from a client system associated with a first user sensor signals captured by sensors of the client system, wherein the client system comprises a plurality of sensors, and wherein the sensors signals are accessed from the sensors based on cascading model policies, wherein each cascading model policy utilizes one or more of a respective cost or relevance associated with each sensor, detecting a change in a context of the first user associated with an activity of the first user based on machine-learning models and the sensor signals, wherein the change in the context of the first user satisfies a trigger condition associated with the activity, and responsive to the detected change in the context of the first user automatically capturing visual data by cameras of the client system.

Abstract: A method for providing on-demand service information is provided. One or more processors determine, for a given geographic region, position information for each of a plurality of requesters for an on-demand service and position information for each of a plurality of service providers that can provide the on-demand service. A plurality of sub-regions is identified for the given geographic region. Based, at least in part, on the position information of the requesters and the service providers, one or more sub-regions are determined as being under-supplied by the plurality of service providers as compared to one or more other sub-regions. Information identifying the under-supplied sub-regions are provided to one or more service provider devices.
