Abstract: An electronic device for gesture recognition on resource-constrained devices is provided. The electronic device controls storage of a plurality of first consecutive image frames in a first buffer of a first length. The plurality of first consecutive image frames corresponds to the first length. The electronic device recognizes a first hand sign of a plurality of hand signs in a first subset of image frames of the plurality of first consecutive image frames. The electronic device controls storage of the recognized first hand sign in a second buffer of a second length based on the determination that a ratio of a number of the first subset of image frames and the first length is one of equal to or greater than the threshold. The electronic device determines a gesture corresponding to one or more hand signs of the plurality of hand signs stored in the second buffer.

Abstract: Streaming content protocols typically provide playlists, a file that lists the location of each segment of a content stream. The playlist may change as the content server adds content to the content stream or because the length of the content stream continues to grow. Client devices periodically fetch the playlist, and are unaware whether the playlist has changed, and thus may needlessly use bandwidth repeatedly fetching the same playlist. Throttling content download o provides systems and methods for controlling the download of streaming content-related data according to the current status of the playlist and possibly also current bandwidth availability. Content server, by monitoring client device related playlist position and client device content buffer can regulate content streaming, to improve network bandwidth distribution. A content server determines whether the playlist has changed since the last time the playlist was requested and denies a request for the playlist when the playlist has not changed.

Abstract: Methods and systems of providing alternative targeted advertising (TAD) content are shown and disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for retraining machine learning (ML) models. Examples may automatically identify skewed, anomalous, and/or drift occurrence data in real-world input data. By automatically identifying such data, examples can reduce subjectivity in ML model retraining as well as reduce time spent determining a need to retrain a ML model. Accordingly, a determination can be made objectively by a computing system or device according to computer-implemented instructions. Additionally, examples may automatically isolate and transfer data relevant to the retraining of a ML model to a training environment for retraining the ML model using real-world input data. Examples also synthesize large samples of data for use in retraining a ML model. The synthesized data may be generated based on the isolated and transferred data and can be used in place of actual real-world input data to reduce a corresponding delay.

Abstract: Wireless devices (clients) connect to different access points (AP) in a wireless network. The wireless network may determine that based on, for example, congestion of certain APs that a client should be steered away from a current AP. Steering may be conducted utilizing BSS transition management (BTM) messages to provide the client with a list of network-preferred APs for a transition. Clients may also have one or more preferred APs and may reject the BTM steering message if it does not include at least one client-preferred AP. To prevent rejection of the BTM message, at least one client-preferred AP may be added to the BTM message. To ensure the client is steered to a network-preferred AP, the client is blacklisted from connecting to the client-preferred AP until the client has been steered to a network-preferred AP.
