Abstract: A system for entrance permit control is configured to monitor individuals in an entrance region that includes an entrance to a restricted area. The system performs a monitoring method to enable a seamless entrance experience for the individuals. The system receives a stream of digital images of the entrance region, and processes the received stream of digital images for detection of a machine-readable code, MRC, displayable on an entrance permit carried by an individual in the entrance region. The system further tracks, based on the received stream of digital images, a location of the MRC within the entrance region, initiates a validation of the MRC, and provides, in dependence of the validation and position data generated by the tracking, a visual indication of a result of the validation on at least one of the entrance permit and the individual.

Abstract: The media production element (12) combines media content from a plurality of streaming electronic devices when they are registered to be within the same streaming event. The media production element (12) can produce a combined live video stream or a combined media production using selections and combinations of the streamed content provided by the multiple electronic devices. A network assistance device (42) can determine event-coordinated uplink network assistance data with the goal of prioritizing resource allocation to clients/electronic devices that currently are used for the combined media production, and assign less resources to those that are not currently used. Rather than optimizing individual links, the event-coordinated uplink network assistance data is determined by taking the aggregated capacity and the production needs of the media production element (12) into account.
