Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to automatically altering a displayed user interface for an event. A server computer system may cause, via a conferencing service, display of a user interface for an event having a group of users accessing the conferencing service via a plurality of user devices, the displayed interface including an indication of a video feed of a user in the group of users that is currently active. The system may store, in a database, data for the event, including content of audio and video feeds of users in the event. The system may analyze a set of characteristics included in the content of the audio and video feeds. The system may alter, while the indication of the video feed of the user is being displayed, aspects of the displayed user interface other than the indication, where the altering is performed based on the analyzing.

Abstract: A method executed by a computer includes receiving an image from a client device. A facial recognition technique is executed against an individual face within the image to obtain a recognized face. Privacy rules are applied to the image, where the privacy rules are associated with privacy settings for a user associated with the recognized face. A privacy protected version of the image is distributed, where the privacy protected version of the image has an altered image feature.

Abstract: One example method of operation may include identifying a call to a mobile device, determining whether the call includes call content data intended for the mobile device, initiating an active session and a time to live (TTL) associated with the call content data, forwarding the call content data to the mobile device when the call includes call content data associated with the caller, and receiving a content confirmation from the mobile device that the call content data was received.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for automatically executing scripts for event in response to user activity within the event. A server executing a video conferencing service, receives meeting scheduling information and a set of user-specified scripting information from a user requesting to generate an event. In response to receiving a request from user device to access the event, the server causes display of an event interface to the device, the displayed interface including indications of sub-groups of a group of users accessing the conferencing service via a plurality of user devices and an indication of a video feed of a user in the group of users that is currently active. In response to one or more triggers corresponding to the event, one or more scripts are executed for the event, where executing the one or more scripts includes altering the displayed interface.

Abstract: A method for associating environmental data with map features is described. The method includes receiving sensor data and receiving position data. The sensor data is associated with each of a plurality of time intervals and is from at least one sensor on at least one mobile sensor platform. The position data is associated with the plurality of time intervals and is from the at least one mobile sensor platform. Trajectories and corrected locations of the mobile sensor platform are generated for the plurality of time intervals using the position data. A position of the mobile sensor platform is assigned to a corresponding map feature for each of the plurality of time intervals based on the trajectories and corrected locations. The sensor data is also processed to generate sensor data values for each of the plurality of time intervals. The sensor data values are assigned to the corresponding map feature of the position of the mobile sensor platform for each of the plurality of time intervals.

Abstract: A server maintains a gallery of ephemeral messages. Each ephemeral message is posted to the gallery by a user for viewing by recipients via recipient devices. In response to a gallery view request from any of the recipient devices, the ephemeral messages in the gallery are displayed on the requesting device in automated sequence, each message being displayed for a respective display duration before display of the next message in the gallery. Each ephemeral message has an associated message availability parameter. Each ephemeral message is removed from the gallery, thus being unavailable for viewing upon request, at expiry of the corresponding message availability parameter.

Abstract: A method for monitoring air quality is described. The method includes measuring ethane and methane using a mobile sensor platform to provide sensor data. The sensor data includes methane data and ethane data captured at a nonzero mobile sensor platform speed. Methane and ethane peak(s) are identified in the sensor data. Correlation(s) between the methane and ethane peak(s) and/or between the methane peak(s) and at least one amount of 13C are determined. A source for the methane is determined based on the correlation.

Abstract: A method and system for utilizing environmental data are described. The method includes receiving external environmental data and receiving in-cabin environmental data. A mitigation action for an in-cabin environment of a vehicle is provided. The mitigation action is based on the external environmental data and the in-cabin environmental data.
