Abstract: Systems and methods are herein provided for Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications for establishing refueling sessions.

Abstract: Techniques for individualized media content generation and delivery are provided. In one example, a request to provide media content to a user via a user device is received and a profile of the user comprising user values for each of one or more attributes is identified. A portion of the media content is identified for modification based on a user value and a content value for the portion. The media content is modified using alternative content generated for the portion based on the user value and provided to the user via an application executing on the user device.

Abstract: Systems and processes are provided to generate and transmit a thumbnail image for a video searching function including a video input configured to receive a video signal, a processor configured to decode the video signal to generate a video program, to generate a plurality of thumbnail images in response to the video program, to determine a subset of the plurality of thumbnail images in response to a client request and to couple the subset of the plurality of thumbnail images to a network interface, and the network interface configured to transmit and receive data on a local area network, the network interface being operative to receive the client request from a client device and to transmit the subset of the plurality of thumbnail images to the network interface for transmission to the client device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed enabling smart search functionalities utilizing key scene changes appearing in video content. In various embodiments, the method includes the step or process of, while engaged in playback of the video content, receiving a user command at a playback device to shift a current playback position of the video content to a default search playback position (PPDS). In response to receipt of the user command, the playback device searches a time window encompassing the default search playback position (PPDS) for a key scene change in the video content. If locating a key scene change within the time window, the playback device shifts playback of the video content to a playback position corresponding to the key scene change (PPST). Otherwise, the playback device shifts playback of the video content to the default search playback position (PPDS).

Abstract: An autonomous mobile device (AMD) may perform various tasks during operation. Some tasks, such as delivering a message to a particular user, may involve the AMD identifying the particular user. The AMD includes a camera to acquire an image, and image-based authentication techniques are used to determine a user's identity. A user may move within in a physical space, and the space may contain various obstructions which may occlude images. The AMD may move within the space to obtain a vantage point from which an image of the face of the user is obtained which is suitable for image-based authentication. In some situations, the AMD may present an attention signal, such as playing a sound from a speaker or flashing a light, to encourage the user to look at the AMD, providing an image for use in image-based authentication.

Abstract: Systems and processes are provided to generate and transmit a thumbnail image for a video searching function including a video input configured to receive a video signal, a processor configured to decode the video signal to generate a video program, to generate a plurality of thumbnail images in response to the video program, to determine a subset of the plurality of thumbnail images in response to a client request and to couple the subset of the plurality of thumbnail images to a network interface, and the network interface configured to transmit and receive data on a local area network, the network interface being operative to receive the client request from a client device and to transmit the subset of the plurality of thumbnail images to the network interface for transmission to the client device.

Abstract: Various arrangements for generating thumbnail images for video content as the video content is being received are presented. Video content may be initially received. A thumbnail generation process may be woken from a sleep state based on a predefined time period elapsing. The received video content may be monitored for a next-received I-frame. A thumbnail image may be created from the I-frame and may be mapped to a timestamp. The thumbnail generation process may then be caused to enter the sleep state for the predefined time period.

Abstract: A data structure and a mechanism to manage storage of objects is disclosed. The data structure can be used to manage storage of objects on any storage device, whether in memory or some other storage device. Given an object ID (OID) for an object, the system can identify a tuple that includes a device ID and an address. The device ID specifies the device storing the object, and the address specifies the address on the device where the object is stored. The application can then access the object using the device ID and the address.

Abstract: Some implementations disclosed herein provide techniques for caching memory data and for managing cache retention. Different cache retention policies may be applied to different cached data streams such as those of a graphics processing unit. Actual performance of the cache with respect to the data streams may be observed, and the cache retention policies may be varied based on the observed actual performance.
