Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems that enable grid-based enrollment for face authentication. The techniques and systems include overlaying a three-dimensional (3D) tracking window over a preview image of the user's face displayed via a display device. The 3D tracking window includes a plurality of segments, which persist to correspond to an approximate direction that the user's face is facing. Based on the tracking, segments are highlighted to indicate the approximate direction that the user's face is facing, a camera captures enrollment images of the user's face facing that direction, and embeddings are generated based on the enrollment images and stored in a fixed grid of pose cells corresponding to various facial poses for use in face authentication. Responsive to generation and storage of the embeddings, an indication that the one or more segments are completed is provided.

Abstract: This document describes methods and systems of adaptive fingerprint-enrollment to finger characteristics using local under-display fingerprint sensors, UDFPS, in an electronic device. The electronic device includes an adaptive-enrollment module that determines characteristics of a fingerprint based on information corresponding to a touch input detected by a touch-display device, including size and shape of an area of the touch input. Based on the fingerprint characteristics, a number and location of enrollment touches used for completing enrollment of the fingerprint are adjusted to minimize the number of enrollment touches required to complete the enrollment, minimize the amount of time needed to complete the enrollment, and maximize coverage of the fingerprint.

Abstract: A computer that segments traffic associated with different entities across heterogeneous networks is described. During operation, the computer may provide, addressed to a second computer, information that specifies a mapping of an identifier of an electronic device in a wireless network and a second identifier of a virtual container for traffic associated with the electronic device in the wireless network to a third identifier of the electronic device in a cellular-telephone network, where the electronic device and the virtual container are associated with an entity. Then, the computer may communicate the traffic between the wireless network and the cellular-telephone network within the virtual container based at least in part on the mapping, where the virtual container isolates the traffic from other traffic in the wireless network. Note that the identifier may include a MAC address and the third identifier may include an IMSI.

Abstract: System includes a controller comprising one or more processors configured to generate alertness requests to an operator of a vehicle system during a trip. The alertness requests are generated according to a determined routine. The controller is further configured to receive reactive inputs from the operator that are responsive to the alertness requests. The controller is further configured to determine whether the trip includes a permissible route segment for suspending the determined routine. The permissible route segment has a route characteristic of one or both of: a reduced likelihood of operator-required events occurring or a predicted workload for the operator that is less than a defined workload threshold.
