Abstract: Personal and biometric information is obtained from an individual using a remote device and submitted to an application server. The application server transmits the personal or biometric information to an authenticated data repository that identifies the individual. The application server also submits the biometric information from the individual and biometric information from the authenticated data repository to a biometric comparison service for analysis. If the individual's submitted personal and biometric information matches the information in the authoritative data repository, the individual is issued a digital identification credential. An individual's digital identification credential can be authenticated at the time it is being used, and the user's identity can be verified in real-time if requested.

Abstract: A method of optimizing sleep of a subject using smart-home devices may include operating a smart-home system that is configured to operate in a normal mode and a sleep mode. The method may also include determining that the smart-home system should transition into the sleep mode. The smart-home devices may use a set of default parameters when operating in the sleep mode. The method may additionally include monitoring, while in the sleep mode, a sleep cycle of the subject using the smart-home devices. The method may further include detecting behavior of the subject that indicates that the sleep cycle of the subject is being interrupted or about to be interrupted, determining an environmental control that corresponds with the behavior of the subject, and adjusting the environmental control using the smart-home devices to prevent or stop the sleep cycle of the subject from being interrupted.

Abstract: In an implementation of the disclosed subject matter, a device may emit a first emission sequence of infrared radiation at a subject, and capture a first reflected sequence of infrared radiation reflected from the subject. The first emission sequence may be compared to the first reflected sequence, and, based on the comparison, a sequence of variations may be determined. The sequence of variations may be compared to signal pattern stored in a sleep profile for the subject. The subject may be determined to have exhibited sleep behavior based on the comparison of the sequence of variations to the signal pattern stored in the sleep profile. In response to determining the subject has exhibited sleep behavior, the device may capture a second reflected sequence of radiation reflected from the subject. A breathing rate of the subject and/or a heart rate of the subject may be determined based on the second reflected sequence.

Abstract: This application discloses a method implemented by an electronic device to detect a signature event (e.g., a baby cry event) associated with an audio feature (e.g., baby sound). The electronic device obtains a classifier model from a remote server. The classifier model is determined according to predetermined capabilities of the electronic device and ambient sound characteristics of the electronic device, and distinguishes the audio feature from a plurality of alternative features and ambient noises. When the electronic device obtains audio data, it splits the audio data to a plurality of sound components each associated with a respective frequency or frequency band and including a series of time windows. The electronic device further extracts a feature vector from the sound components, classifies the extracted feature vector to obtain a probability value according to the classifier model, and detects the signature event based on the probability value.

Abstract: Various arrangements are presented for issuing an alert based on a baby's behavior. A video stream that images a baby may be received. The video stream may be analyzed to determine the baby is in a non-auditory discomfort state. A notification may be determined to be output to a caregiver based on the determined non-auditory discomfort state. An alert may be output that is indicative of the non-auditory discomfort state to an end-user device.
