Abstract: Methods and apparatus to control rendering of different content for different view angles of a display screen are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a position analyzer to: determine a first location of a first person relative to a display screen, and determine a second location of a second person relative to the display screen. The example apparatus includes a position comparer to determine a difference in position between the first person and the second person based on the first and second locations. The example apparatus includes a content determiner to identify first content to display to the first person and second content to display to the second person when the difference satisfies a threshold, and identify third content to display to both the first person and the second person when the difference does not satisfy the threshold.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for managing display content across overlapping devices are disclosed. A display connected to or part of a first device may be at least partially occluded by a second device.

Subsequent projections of the image in the location of the mixed reality environment may take into consideration the characteristics determined. Other embodiments may recommend or edit the image to be projected to optimize reflections of the image within the mixed reality environment. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the disclosed subject matter involves a system and method relating to dynamically sending local visual landmark information from multiple end user devices to a central server that is controlling an augmented reality (AR) experience.

Abstract: The presently disclosed display device includes one or more user detection sensors that determine a user location in respond to the display device. The display device then reformats image data based on the determined user location, such as by transitioning the image data from one mode to another and/or angling the image data toward the determined user location. When sharing the image data with another display device, the display devices may reformat the image data based on user location without a user manually entering a desired format or orientation. In addition, the display devices may determine whether they are touching or almost touching and, in response, split, reformat, or re-orient the image data to combine to form a single, larger display. By reformatting or orienting image data toward users using device sensors, instead of relying on user customization, the presently disclosed techniques provide more efficient and intuitive user experiences.

Abstract: Sensor management systems for computer assisted or autonomous driving vehicles are disclosed herein. A computer assisted or autonomous driving vehicle may be provided with a plurality of sensors and a sensor management system configured to predictively maintain effectiveness of the plurality of sensors, based at least in part on predicted cleaning needs of the sensors, predicted obstruction or destruction events of the sensors, or predicted environmental or operating conditions. In embodiments, the sensor management system may be coupled to a navigation system of the vehicle, and may, in response to a predicted sensor obstruction or destruction event, change a navigation parameter of the vehicle to avoid the event. Alternatively, if the predicted event is determined to be within an acceptable risk tolerance threshold, the sensor management system may follow an original navigational route but implement event avoidance actions. Other embodiments may be disclosed or claimed.

Abstract: A system and method performed by a sensor testing apparatus of a vehicle are provided for determining when certain event conditions are true. The event conditions comprise detecting an occurrence of a predefined event that impacts a sensor of the vehicle.

When the event conditions are true, the method includes testing the sensor relative to a reference to determine when the sensor is operating within reference criteria to produce a positive reference testing result. When the reference testing result is positive, the method directs the vehicle to return to normal operation, and otherwise directs the vehicle to be serviced.

Abstract: A smart space may be any monitored environment, such as a factory, home, office, public or private area inside a structure, or outside (e.g. park, walkway, street, etc.), or on or in a device, transport, or other machine. An Al, e.g. a neural network, may be used to monitor the smart space and predict activity in the smart space. If an incident occurs, such as a machine jam, person falling, etc., and alert may issue and the neural net monitor for agent responsiveness to the incident. If the Al predicts the agent is taking an appropriate response it may clear the alert, otherwise it may further instruct the agent and/or escalate the alert. The Al may analyze visual or other data presenting the smart space to predict activity of agents or machines lacking sensors to directly provide information about activity being performed.
