Abstract: Beyond prior art simulating traditional powers such as moderators and breakout rooms, the present invention considers an approach where each participant is their own personal breakout room, over which they have sole and ultimate control. Building upon the super power a first participant has over their own personal breakout room, the question of whether a second participant entered of their own accord, or was invited in by the first participant can subsequently control whether the second participant can be ‘ejected’ (in the former case) or simply made to ‘leave’ (in the second case). The responsibility a second participant carries by entering into a private conversation (also referred to herein as ‘convo’) with a first participant thus includes a risk that if the first participant dislikes them, can result in ‘ejection’ of the second participant, which in the present invention carries consequences.

Abstract: A self-correction economic resource allocation system, based on measurements of open-mindedness and creativity in narrative content, wherein an automatically generated empirical polysemous dictionary stores cause and effect meanings for parsing narrative content. Narrative content is automatically analyzed for metrics of rootedness, clarity, open-mindedness and creativity, and top performing content creators are chosen to validate cryptocurrency transactions, and to vote on system governance proposals, and to participate in appeal level smart contract arbitration narrative conversations.

Abstract: The present invention provides significant and much needed improvements in person-to-person interactions within videoconferencing events, by enabling each participant a greater freedom the move around quickly, and change their acoustic perspectives based on their relative positions to other participants, to control who is near to them, and to quickly scan through all participants in a venue to choose participants they like and later to see who liked them. Recent advances in processing power and simulation of binaural sound from monophonic sound simulates distances and azimuth angles as well as aural anatomical comb filtering effects to simulated stereophonic sound and select desirable crowd noises in videoconferencing.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for guided installation feedback for an opening sensor. Detected magnetic field strengths of a magnetic field created by a magnet of an opening sensor as detected by a magnetometer sensor of the opening sensor may be received over a time period. It may be determined that there has been a change in the strength of the magnetic field created by the magnet as detected by the magnetometer sensor based on the received detected magnetic field strengths. Accelerometer data from an accelerometer disposed in the magnetometer sensor may be received. It may be determined from the accelerometer data that the magnetometer sensor was not moving and positive feedback may be provided to an installer of the opening sensor, or it may be determined from the accelerometer data that the magnetometer sensor was moving and negative feedback may be provided to the installer of the opening sensor.

Abstract: A magnet and magnetometer may be integrated into a smart home environment and allow it to be placed into an away mode of operation despite an entry point being semi-open. The disclosed implementations can detect a magnetic field strength and determine, based on the detected field strength, an approximate distance that a moveable partition is open. In some configurations, the presence of a second magnetic source can be detected. A notice may be generated based on one or more signals received from the magnetometer. The notice may be sent to a controller, a remote system, a remote device, and/or a client device as disclosed herein.

Abstract: An exercise system comprising: an exercise cycle comprising a crank, wherein the crank is configured to be rotated by a user; and a sensing unit coupled to the exercise cycle, wherein the sensing unit is configured to sense information related to at least one crank measurement and to transmit the information related to the at least one crank measurement to a remote device via wireless communication. In some embodiments, the remote device is a mobile device. In some embodiments, the at least one crank measurement comprises a rotational speed of the crank or a force applied to the crank. The remote device can display information related to use of the exercise cycle based on the information received from the exercise cycle.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for guided installation of an opening sensor. A strength of a magnetic field created by a magnet of an opening sensor at a location of a magnetometer sensor of the opening sensor may be determined. Feedback may be provided to an installer of the opening sensor based on the determined strength of the magnetic field. A function of the opening sensor may be configured based on the determined strength of the magnetic field. The function may be associated with reporting the status of an entry point to which the magnetometer sensor may be affixed.
