  • Patent number: 12389085
    Abstract: A method receives a manifest for video requested by a client device. The manifest including links for different versions of the video for the client device to use to request segments of the different versions of the video based on conditions detected by the client device. A placeholder in the manifest is selected based on a configuration specifying the placeholder as a trigger to insert alternate content into the manifest. The method then selects a metadata payload based on the configuration specifying the placeholder and a source of the metadata payload and dynamically inserts the metadata payload into the manifest at a position based on the placeholder. The metadata payload is added with an identifier from the configuration that identifies the metadata payload to the client device. The manifest is outputted with the metadata payload for use by the client device while playing the video.

  • Patent number: 12387636
    Abstract: A wearable electronic device can include displays and/or cameras that can be calibrated for accurate recording and visual output. Whereas some aspects of a wearable electronic device can be calibrated at the time of production, usage and wear of the wearable electronic device can result in certain components becoming misaligned. A calibration device can provide an output that serves as a reference for each of a pair of displays of the wearable electronic device. Each of the displays can be independently adjusted so their corresponding outputs are properly aligned with the view of the external environment.

  • Patent number: 12388620
    Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and devices for generating digital and/or cryptographic assets. An initial state of an environment is acquired using sensors that includes a state of each sensor, a region of interest including a 3D body, and a state of light sources. The asset is associated with the 3D body. A plurality of boundary conditions associated with a workflow for capturing the asset is determined. A visualization of a set of boundary conditions is displayed on a display that includes a plurality of visual cues including first and second visual cues. Each respective visual cue provides a visual indication of a state of a corresponding boundary condition in the set of boundary conditions. At least one visual cue is updated when each boundary condition in the set of boundary conditions is satisfied. When satisfied, the workflow at the computer-enabled imaging device is executed, thereby capturing the asset.

  • Patent number: 12388709
    Abstract: Described are examples for providing intent based network configuration with intent expectations including prioritized goals. A system for network configuration includes a network management function configured to receive an intent including requirements, goals, and constraints for a network and generate an intent expectation including a set of prioritized goals based on the intent. An infrastructure service management (ISM) system is configured to: receive the intent expectation from the network management function; select at least one of the prioritized goals as an active target; configure computing resources to satisfy at least the active target; and report the active target and a configuration status to the network management function. The ISM may monitor a status of the computing resources and select a higher priority goal that can be satisfied or select a lower priority goal in the case of resource or performance degradation.
