Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for presenting a three-dimensional portal object in a first orientation and present, on a first surface of the three-dimensional portal object, a first scene. The instructions further configure the device to determine, based on the first orientation and a mapping between scenes and surfaces of the three-dimensional portal object, to queue a second scene that has a second virtual object having a second style, wherein the second scene becomes presentable upon a change from the first orientation to a second orientation of the three-dimensional portal object. Additionally, the instructions may further configure the device to queue data usable to present the second scene prior to the change from the first orientation to the second orientation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for presenting, in a mixed reality (MR) session, a three-dimensional portal object in a first orientation and present, a first window on a first surface of the three-dimensional portal object, the first window being associated with a first mixed reality (MR) scene.

Abstract: Described herein are a system and methods for efficiently using depth and image information for a space to generate a 3D representation of that space. In some embodiments, an indication of one or more points is received with respect to image information, which is then mapped to corresponding points within depth information. A boundary may then be calculated to be associated with each of the points based on the depth information at, and surrounding, each point. Each of the boundaries are extended outward until junctions are identified as bounding the boundaries in a direction. The system may determine whether the process is complete or not based on whether any of the calculated boundaries are currently unlimited in extent in any direction. Once the system determines that each of the boundaries is limited in extent, a 3D representation of the space may be generated based on the identified junctions and/or boundaries.

Abstract: Techniques described herein include receiving a first signal indicating that a location of a first electronic device has changed. The first electronic device can have a functionality and be in an unlocked state that permits use of at least one aspect of the functionality. The techniques further include storing, based on the first signal, an indication that the first electronic device is to be put into a locked state that prevents use of the at least one aspect of the functionality. The techniques further include causing, based on a second signal indicating the first electronic device is in a proximity to a boundary, at least one of: sending a command to put the first electronic device into the locked state, or foregoing the sending of the command based on a transaction that relates to the first electronic device.

Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed toward enabling a transfer of access rights for an electronic device between users. In embodiments a transferee device may receive a first request to obtain access rights for an electronic device associated with a transferor device. The transferor device may receive a second request to grant access rights for the electronic device. Embodiments may include receiving, at the transferee device, a device key associated with the electronic device and storing the device key in association with the electronic device. Embodiments may further include issuing a command from at least one of the transferee or transferor devices to unlock the electronic device, and causing the electronic device to comply with the command to unlock if the at least one of the transferee or transferor devices that issues the command has access to the device key when the command is issued.

Abstract: Described herein are a system and methods for generating a record of objects, as well as respective positions for those objects, with respect to a user. In some embodiments, a user may use a user device to scan an area that includes one or more objects. The one or more objects may be identified from image information obtained from the user device. Positional information for each of the one or more objects may be determined from depth information obtained from a depth sensor installed upon the user device. In some embodiments, the one or more objects may be mapped to object models stored in an object model database. The image information displayed on the user device may be augmented so that it depicts the object models associated with the one or more objects instead of the actual objects.

Abstract: A modeling system determines a physical location of a device in a store and a virtual location in a virtual model of a store that corresponds to the physical location. The modeling system determines, from the virtual model, a subset of model data based on the virtual location. The model data comprises store location data applicable to the entire store, shelf data applicable to shelves in the store, and planogram data applicable to the shelves and products associated with the shelves. The subset of model data comprises the store location data, a subset of the shelf data applicable to at least a shelf within a predefined distance of the physical location of the device, and a subset of the planogram data applicable to at least the shelf and a product associated with the shelf. The modeling system generates a presentation of a scene based on the subset of model data.

Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to a system and methods for enabling a transfer of access rights for an electronic device between users. In embodiments of the system, a first user (e.g., a transferor) may, upon determining that access rights should be granted to a second user (e.g., a transferee), generate a transaction record. The transaction record may then be provided to a registry network, which may verify a digital signature of the transaction record as well as a current ownership status. Upon verification, the transaction record may be written to an ownership registry and a mobile application server may be notified of the transaction. Once notified, the mobile application server may transmit a device key to a user device associated with the transferee. Once the device key has been received at the transferee user device, it may be used to issue commands to the electronic device.
