  • Patent number: 11962697
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods for tracking chain of custody of a security camera using blockchain. An implementation may comprise receiving and granting a request for custody of a security camera by a first operator. The implementation further includes generating a block of a blockchain comprising identifiers of the first operator, security camera, and timestamp. The implementation includes distributing the blockchain to a plurality of nodes in a blockchain network. For each indication received of activity associated with usage and custody of the security camera to be recorded on the blockchain, the implementation includes generating a new block on the blockchain recording the activity. The implementation further includes receiving and verifying an authenticity a video clip from the security camera based on each activity recorded in the blockchain. In response to determining that the video clip is not authentic, the implementation includes generating an alert indicating inauthenticity.

  • Patent number: 11922938
    Abstract: A multi-assistant speech-processing system that centrally determines multiple execution plans to respond to a user input. A central component determines whether a particular input should be processed using a requested assistant or a different assistant or should be terminated. Assistant handoff may be determined based on system policies as well as user input-specific data. A ranked list of execution options may be supplemented by augmented data corresponding to messages to a user. The system may attempt to execute plans in the ranked order until a plan succeeds.

  • Publication number: 20230379185
    Abstract: A wireless lighting control system for controlling lighting devices and with independent site operation is disclosed. The wireless lighting control system includes a remote server system, user computer devices, and a site system. The site system includes a gateway, a wireless mesh network, and wireless devices. The wireless devices communicate with the gateway via the wireless mesh network. The gateway communicates with the remote server system via a wide-area network. The user computer devices communicate with the remote server system and the gateway. Control information for the wireless devices is stored in the remote server system and is mirrored in the gateway so that the site system can operate independently if communication with the remote server system is lost.

  • Publication number: 20230319424
    Abstract: Techniques of estimating surface normals and reflectance from poorly-lit images includes using, in addition to an RGB image of a subject of a set of subjects, an image illuminated with near-infrared (NIR) radiation to determine albedo and surface normal maps for performing an image relighting, the image being captured with the NIR radiation from essentially the same perspective from which the RGB image was captured. In some implementations, a prediction engine takes as input a single RGB image and a single NIR image and estimates surface normals and reflectance from the subject.

  • Patent number: 11552899
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically scaling consumer servers in a data processing system. To build an automatic scaling system, the present disclosure allows consumers to obtain additional information, e.g., the number of events that await to be read from an aggregator when receiving an event from the aggregator. This additionally obtained number provides a direct gauge for the data processing system to determine when the consumers are over-provisioned, i.e., when the number of events left to be read is close to zero, as well as when the consumers are under-provisioned, e.g., when the number of events left to be read continues to increase. As a result, the consumers can be automatically scaled to handle the dynamic data processing demand while providing optimal resource allocation.

  • Patent number: 11461630
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and techniques for extracting user body shape (e.g., a representation of the three-dimensional body surface) from user behavioral data. The behavioral data may not be explicitly body-shape-related, and can include shopping history, social media likes, or other recorded behaviors of the user within (or outside of) a networked content delivery environment. The determined body shape can be used, for example, to generate a virtual fitting room user interface.
