Abstract: A connected classroom system provides for local and remote control and display of media streams. An instructor may, for instance, direct audio/video streams of the instructor to any number of displays and speakers located within a classroom. The system may send and receive control instructions to and from remote classrooms as well, through a network interface. The control instructions may configure any set of presentation devices in any classroom to reproduce any content originating from any source within any classroom. Accordingly, multiple classrooms located in disparate locations may participate in media exchanges arising from any source, including instructors and individual student seating locations within the classrooms.

Abstract: A relational database is transformed so as to obfuscate secure and/or private aspects of data contained in the database, while preserving salient elements of the data to facilitate data analysis. A restructured database is generatively modeled, and the model is sampled to create synthetic data that maintains sufficiently similar (or the same) mathematical properties and relations as the original data stored in the database. In one example, various statistics at the intersection of related database tables are determined by modeling data using an iterative multivariate approach. Synthetic data may be sampled from any part of the modeled database, wherein the synthesized data is “realistic” in that it statistically mimics the original data in the database. The generation of such synthetic data allows publication of bulk data freely and on-demand (e.g., for data analysis purposes), without the risk of security/privacy breaches.

Abstract: An intelligent information delivery system facilitates dynamic interaction with the user's environment, and in certain environments may provide or support digital governance. The intelligent delivery system may make use of a distributed beacon network to accurately determine the user's location within an environment, which may then be leveraged to deliver relevant content to the user. The intelligent delivery system may also facilitate complex interactions between a user of the system and the user's environment.
