  • Publication number: 20230285805
    Abstract: A method can include determining, by a head-mounted device based on first data received from a depth-sensing device included in the head-mounted device, that a first distance of the head-mounted device from a landmark is outside a completion range; outputting, based on the determination that the first distance of the head-mounted device from the landmark is outside the completion range from the landmark, an indication that a repetition has yet to be completed; determining, based on second data received from the depth-sensing device, that a second distance of head-mounted device from the landmark is within the completion range; and based on the determination that the second distance of the head-mounted device from the landmark is within the completion range, incrementing a repetition counter and outputting an indication that the repetition has been completed.

  • Publication number: 20230018159
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a computer program for a governance, risk, compliance (GRC) system are described. In an example, a processor may detect a change among a plurality of objects in the GRC system. The processor may generate a snapshot of the plurality of objects in response to the detected change. The snapshot may include the detected change among the plurality of objects. The processor may train a machine learning model using the snapshot. The trained machine learning model may indicate relationships among a set of related objects, where the related objects may be among the plurality of objects. The processor may generate a computer program based on the trained machine learning model. The computer program may include a set of instructions for setting a field value of an object among the set of related objects.

  • Publication number: 20220239785
    Abstract: Methods for operating a communications-enabled application, controlling a secure profile via an operating system, and operating a cellular network are provided. Operating a communications-enable application includes detecting a need for data transmission when the mobile device has a communications status which is incompatible with the need and sending a request to activate a secure profile. Controlling the secure profile includes receiving a request from an application to have data session access via a secure profile and activating a data session utilising a secure profile. Operating the cellular network includes receiving a request to establish a cellular network data communications session from a mobile device including the communications-enabled application and establishing a data session with the mobile device using the secure profile. A mobile device and cellular network for performing the methods are also provided.
