  • Patent number: 11928957
    Abstract: An audio visual haptic signal reconstruction method includes first utilizing a large-scale audio-visual database stored in a central cloud to learn knowledge, and transferring same to an edge node; then combining, by means of the edge node, a received audio-visual signal with knowledge in the central cloud, and fully mining semantic correlation and consistency between modals; and finally fusing the semantic features of the obtained audio and video signals and inputting the semantic features to a haptic generation network, thereby realizing the reconstruction of the haptic signal. The method effectively solves the problems that the number of audio and video signals of a multi-modal dataset is insufficient, and semantic tags cannot be added to all the audio-visual signals in a training dataset by means of manual annotation. Also, the semantic association between heterogeneous data of different modals are better mined, and the heterogeneity gap between modals are eliminated.

  • Publication number: 20230401299
    Abstract: Device access control can be implemented on a protected device to determine, based on a user input to the device, that a timeout threshold has been exceeded and to cause, in response to determining that the timeout threshold has been exceeded, an application graphical user interface (GUI) on the device to remove or blank content, such as text, images, or graphics, from the application window. The removal or blanking of the content can be performed on a window-by-window basis; that is, content is removed only from application windows of applications that are protected by an associated application protection policy. In some examples, the application protection policy can be established by an administrator of a digital workspace within which the protected application executes. Such a digital workspace can be implemented via a type of virtual processing environment that can be accessed via client computing devices.
