Abstract: Some techniques are described herein for initiating a secure communication between a mount and a computer system. Such techniques include the mount detecting that the computer system is coupled to the mount and, in response, sending a message to the computer system with an identifier of the mount. The mount then receives a request to establish the secure communication with the computer system via a different communication channel than used to send the message. For example, the message can be sent using Near Field Communication (NFC) and the request can be to establish a short-range communication channel using Bluetooth. Other techniques are described herein for reconnecting a secure communication between a mount and a computer system using similar techniques as described above.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to selecting objects. Some techniques are for selecting people in accordance with some embodiments. Other techniques are for resetting memory of a subject selection model in accordance with some embodiments.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to capturing content. Some techniques are described herein for physically moving a camera to capture a static representation of an environment. In such techniques, the static representation can be performed once for a video call so that video for the video call and the static representation can be combined to provide a greater field-of-view for a recipient. Other techniques are described herein for directing a camera towards different subjects. In such techniques, the camera can be directed towards a primary subject during content capture and, in response to a gaze of the primary subject satisfying a set of criteria with respect to another subject, the camera can be directed towards the other object.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to controlling computer systems.

Abstract: Some methods are described herein for tracking one or more objects. In some examples, the method is performed at a computer system. In some examples, the method includes receiving a first set of data corresponding to the object via a first modality and a second set of data corresponding to the object via a second modality; after receiving the first set of data corresponding to the object and the second set of data corresponding to the object, receiving a second set of image data representing the field of view of the camera, wherein the second set of image data does not include data representative of the object; and after receiving the second set of image data, predicting a position of the object using at least the first set of data corresponding to the object and the second set of data corresponding to the object.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to capturing video using a moveable mount.

Abstract: This disclosure provides more effective and/or efficient techniques for image and/or video capture. For example, some techniques include identifying a subject in a view of a camera and, based on the subject, shifting the view of the camera. Shifting the view of the camera based on the subject can allow the computer system to automatically adjust the view of the camera without explicit user input and/or allow the subject to guide the view of the camera without the subject needing to physically move the camera and/or navigate through cumbersome user interfaces. Such techniques optionally complement or replace other techniques for image and/or video capture.

Abstract: Some techniques are described herein for providing different modes, each mode allowing for a different sensor to detect data. For example, a first mode can be configured to detect data via a touch sensor, a second mode can be configured to detect data via an infrared camera, and a third mode can be configured to detect data via an optical camera. In such an example, different modes can be configured to detect data using a different set of sensors that are in communication with a computer system.

Abstract: A device implementing an express credential transaction system includes at least one processor configured to receive an indication that a payment applet for a service provider has been provisioned on a secure element of the device with a first attribute indicating that the payment applet can be utilized for a transaction without authentication associated with the transaction. The processor is configured to set the first attribute of the payment applet to indicate that authentication is required to utilize the payment applet when another payment applet for the service provider provisioned on the secure element of the device has an attribute that indicates the other payment applet can be utilized for the transaction without user authentication. The at least one processor is configured to control whether the user authentication is requested when utilizing the payment applet or the other payment applet, respectively, in transactions.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to electronic security, e.g., for authenticating a mobile electronic device to allow access to system functionality (e.g., physical access to the system, starting an engine/motor, etc.). In some embodiments, a system and mobile device exchange public keys of public key pairs during a pairing process. In some embodiments, an asymmetric transaction process includes generating a shared secret using a key derivation function over a key established using a secure key exchange (e.g., elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman), and verifying a signature of the system before transmitting any information identifying the mobile device. In various embodiments, disclosed techniques may increase transaction security and privacy of identifying information.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to authenticate a user with a mobile device. In one embodiment, a computing device includes a short-range radio and a secure element. The computing device reads, via the short-range radio, a portion of credential information stored in a circuit embedded in an identification document issued by an authority to a user for establishing an identity of the user. The computing device issues, to the authority, a request to store the credential information, the request specifying the portion of the credential information. In response to an approval of the request, the computing device stores the credential information in the secure element, the credential information being usable to establish the identity of the user. In some embodiments, the identification document is a passport that includes a radio-frequency identification (RFID) circuit storing the credential information, and the request specifies a passport number read from the RFID circuit.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to sharing access to electronically-secured property. In some embodiments, a first computing device having a first secure element receives, from a second computing device associated with an owner of the electronically-secured property, an indication that the second computing device has transmitted a token to server computing system, the token permitting a user of the first computing device access to the electronically-secured property. Based on the received indication, the first computing device sends a request for the transmitted token to the server computing system and, in response to receiving the requested token, securely stores the received token in the first secure element of the first computing device. The first computing device subsequently transmits the stored token from the first secure element of the first device to the electronically-secured property to obtain access to the electronically-secured property based on the token.
