  • Publication number: 20240406368
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods and interfaces for capturing and viewing immersive media. In some examples, in response to a hardware input, immersive media is captured and generated using multiple sensors of a head-mounted display device. In some examples, while displaying a media item, additional information related to the media item is displayed in response to detecting a viewer's attention departing from the media item.

  • Patent number: 12143787
    Abstract: Certain embodiments relate generally to modifying audio playing on a first device based on detection of that audio by a second device. Other embodiments relate to transferring audio between a first device and a second device. More particularly, audio playing from a first device may be muted, stopped, or adjusted in volume based on detection of that audio by, or interaction with, a second device. Likewise, audio may be transferred from a first device to a second device based on communications between the first and second devices, proximity of the first and second devices relative to one another, proximity of a user to either the first or second device, and so on.

  • Publication number: 20240312634
    Abstract: A mental health equipment data store may contain electronic records associated with mental health equipment identifiers. For each mental health equipment identifier, the data store may include a communication address and associated equipment parameters. A risk relationship data store may contain electronic records associated with parties having risk relationships with an enterprise. A back-end application computer server may associate a selected equipment identifier in the mental health equipment data store with a selected party having a risk relationship with the enterprise. The server may update the risk relationship data store with the selected equipment identifier and arrange to collect selected mental health data for the selected party in accordance with the communication address of the selected equipment identifier.

  • Publication number: 20030018917
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for delivering digital media using packetized encryption data. According to the present invention, a client computing device initiates a session with the server via a computer network and requests a digital media stream. In response, the server authenticates the users and delivers the digital media stream using one or more security processes. In one embodiment, the security process is encryption which is used during the transmission of the digital media from the server to the client. The encryption ensures that the digital stream is protected from copying. In one embodiment, a secure delivery protocol is used wherein a configurable key exchange between the client and the server occurs simultaneous with the delivery of the actual data. As part of the key exchange, encapsulated packets maybe sent between the client and the server, wherein the encapsulated packet contains a header and a payload.
