Abstract: A consent block is a type of block that may be stored in a blockchain. Each consent block has an owner and may store an owner consent contract, i.e., a smart contract containing owner-specified access rules that determine who may access data assets that are stored in other blocks of the blockchain and owned by the same owner. The consent block also stores a hash value determined from the owner consent contract and a previous hash value of the block immediately preceding the consent block. The owner consent contract and the position of the consent block in the blockchain are verifiable from the hash value. Each consent block, once added to the blockchain, becomes part of the immutable record of data stored in the blockchain, and therefore leaves an auditable trail of who had access to which data, and when.

Abstract: An interactive exercise method includes streaming exercise content to an interactive video system for display via a mirror, the exercise content including a depiction of an instructor performing a repetitive movement.

The user or a body portion thereof is tracked in the video stream as the user performs the repetitive movement. The method also includes generating a measure of a difference between a form of the user performing the repetitive movement and a predetermined form for the repetitive movement. A corrective movement is displayed to the user, via the display and during the display of the instructor performing the repetitive movement, based on the measure, to conform the form of the user to the predetermined form for the repetitive movement.

Abstract: There are provided methods and systems to generate a summary of a video by decomposing the video into segments automatically, where each segment has a quantitative score. The assigned scores to those segments can be generated using models that are quantitatively describing and/or evaluating the individual or group activities of the objects in the scene. The segments can be grouped based on their scores to generate a video summary. In an implementation, such a system can generate video summaries of a game based on the quantitative game models. Using a game model that assigns values to different game events and actions in a game, a set of most interesting, least interesting and neutral plays can be identified in the video and a highlight or lowlight reel generated. With adjusting the valuation of player actions and game events based on their impact on the game's result, the monotony in highlight reels can be avoided.
