Abstract: The disclosure is generally directed to in-vehicle entertainment systems and methods. An example method executed by processor of a vehicle may include displaying an iconic representation containing a first icon representing a musical instrument and a second icon representing a vehicle component. The processor may detect an assigning of the musical instrument to the vehicle component. The assigning may be carried out, for example, by a driver of the vehicle executing a drag-and-operation to overlap the first icon with second icon. The processor may then detect a physical contact made upon the vehicle component and generate, based on detecting the physical contact, a musical sound corresponding to the musical instrument.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to ingesting event data into a discoverable event stream using a common schema to assign timeseries properties to the event data. These techniques may include receiving a first event of a pre-processed event stream, the first event including a plurality of event data fields representing an occurrence of the first event, and determining timing information based on the plurality of event data fields representing the occurrence of the first event. In addition, the techniques may include generating, based on combining the plurality of event data fields and the timing information, a second event of a discoverable event stream corresponding to the pre-processed event stream, and generating, within a time series of the discoverable event stream, based on the timing information and an event field of the plurality of event data fields, a time series entry corresponding to the second event.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to data management of event representations within a discoverable event stream. These techniques may include determining historical query information based upon historical execution of a query over an event stream, and identifying a storage attribute of data associated with the historical execution of the query over the event stream, the storage attribute indicating at least one of a size of the data or an assigned storage location of the data in a first storage location or a second storage location. In addition, the techniques may include identifying an execution attribute of a future execution the query over the event stream, and modifying the assigned storage location of the data based on the historical query information, the storage attribute, and the execution attribute.

Abstract: Described are examples for managing event data from multiple event data sources including executing, by a processor, a query for event data in a discoverable event stream over a time window that includes a delay tolerance window specific to the query, wherein the event data is stored as timeseries data in the discoverable event stream such that at least one property corresponding to at least one object has multiple different values at multiple different time instances, and wherein the delay tolerance window is configured to capture potentially out-of-order event data or late arriving event data, and returning a subset of multiple different values for the at least one property in instances of the event data corresponding to the time window with the delay tolerance window applied for the query.
