  • Publication number: 20260030348
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for event detection. A processing device computes a first score corresponding to an event at a first host based on a first timestamp of the event, a second timestamp, and a base rate. The processing device computes, based on the first score exceeding a first threshold value, a second score based on: the first timestamp, a third timestamp corresponding to an occurrence of the event at a second host, and the base rate. The processing device outputs an indication of the event based on the first score and the second score.

  • Publication number: 20220206912
    Abstract: An enclosure for testing performance of an application contains one or more devices. A first device being tested presents output using a display or a speaker. A camera or microphone, which may be associated with a second device in the enclosure, acquires information regarding the output, such as by acquiring data representing the display output of the first device using a camera. An interface presenting information regarding the performance of the application includes information determined using the camera or microphone, which may be useful when the first device is unable to directly capture the output that is presented. In other cases, a second device in the enclosure may provide a display output or an audio output, and the first device may receive the output using a camera or microphone, enabling the performance of the application relating to receipt of input by the first device to be tested.
