Abstract: A video summarization device includes a user input device, a communications interface, a processing circuit, and a display device. The user input device receives a first request to view a plurality of video streams including an indication of a first time associated with the plurality of video streams. The processing circuit transmits, via the communications interface, a second request to retrieve a plurality of image frames based on the indication of the first time to at least one of a first database and a second database. The processing circuit receives, from the at least one of the first database and the second database, the plurality of image frames. The processing circuit provides, to the display device, a representation of a plurality of video stream objects corresponding to the plurality of image frames received from the at least one of a first database and a second database.

Abstract: Provided is a process, including: obtaining a set of historical geolocations; segmenting the historical geolocations into a plurality of temporal bins; determining pairwise transition probabilities between a set of geographic places based on the historical geolocations; configuring a compute cluster by assigning subsets of the transition probabilities to computing devices in the compute cluster; receiving a geolocation stream indicative of current geolocations of individuals; selecting a computing device in the compute cluster in response to determining that the computing device contain transition probabilities for the received respective geolocation; selecting transition probabilities applicable to the received respective geolocation from among the subset of transition probabilities assigned to the selected computing device; predicting a subsequent geographic place based on the selected transition probabilities.

Abstract: Provided is a process of selectively providing content to computing devices based on geographic proximity to dynamically detected events drawing crowds, the process including: obtaining, with one or more computers, data indicative of current geolocations of more than 5,000 mobile computing devices based on information reported by an application executing on the mobile computing devices; inferring, with one or more computers, that an event with a crowd is occurring based on the data indicative of the geolocations indicating an amount of people and a proximity of the people; selecting, with one or more computers, content in response to the inference; and sending, with one or more computers, the selected content to one or more user computing devices for presentation based on proximity between the one or more user computing devices and a geographic location of the event with the crowd.

Abstract: Techniques for providing protection against unsafe links on a social networking website are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for providing protection against unsafe links on a social networking website comprising: receiving, from the social networking website, user profile data associated with a user of the social networking website, scanning, from the user profile data, a plurality of links, accessing a safety rating for each of the plurality of links, and outputting, to a client device associated with the user, a link analysis report that indicates the safety rating of one or more of the plurality of links.
