Example apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media facilitate concurrent consumption of media content by multiple users using superimposed animation. An example apparatus includes a display to present media and a visual representation of a person; a sensor; machine-readable instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the machine-readable instructions to at least identify a direction of a gaze of a user based on signals output by the sensor; responsive to the direction of the gaze of the user being toward the media, cause a first adjustment to the visual representation; and responsive to the direction of the gaze of the user being toward the visual representation, cause a second adjustment to the visual representation, the second adjustment different than the first adjustment.

Facilitation of concurrent consumption of media content by multiple users using superimposed animation

Example apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media facilitate concurrent consumption of media content by multiple users using superimposed animation. Example instructions, when executed, cause at least one processor of an electronic user device to at least cause a display to present media and a visual representation of a remote individual, the visual representation including at least a portion of a human profile; identify a direction of a gaze of a user of the electronic user device based on signals output by one or more sensors of the electronic user device; and determine whether the gaze of the user is directed toward the display of the media or the display of the visual representation based on the direction of the gaze.

Embodiments of apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media are described herein for facilitation of concurrent consumption of media content by a first user of a first computing device and a second user of a second computing device. In various embodiments, facilitation may include superimposition of an animation of the second user over the media content presented on the first computing device, based on captured visual data of the second user received from the second computing device. In various embodiments, the animation may be visually emphasized on determination of the first user's interest in the second user. In various embodiments, facilitation may include conditional alteration of captured visual data of the first user based at least in part on whether the second user has been assigned a trusted status, and transmittal of the altered or unaltered visual data of the first user to the second computing device.

Systems and methods for guided user actions are described, including gathering information associated with a detected first action; applying a predictive model to suggest a second action based on an application of machine learning to the first action and the information; calculating a first confidence level associated with the application of the machine learning to the first action and the information; for the first confidence level exceeding a threshold, providing the second action, and performing the second action or a third action based on user input.

Systems and methods for guided user actions on a computing device

A system for managing privacy of shared content. The system includes a terminal device and a server device. The terminal device includes a content receiving device configured to receive content, a storage configured to store content by the content receiving device, a privacy setting determiner, a content obfuscator; and a transmitter configured to transmit obfuscated content. The server device includes a receiver configured to receive the obfuscated content from the transmitter of the terminal device, a publisher configured to publish the obfuscated content, and a de-obfuscator configured to, based on the received request to change privacy settings, de-obfuscate the at least a portion of the received content to generate de-obfuscated content.

Systems and methods for managing privacy settings of shared content

Systems and methods for managing privacy settings of shared content include receiving content associated with an object; receiving privacy settings associated with the object associated with the received content; based on the received privacy settings, obfuscating, at least a portion of the content associated with the object to generated obfuscated content; and transmitting the obfuscated content to a publishing server, wherein the publishing server publishes the obfuscated content to one or more third parties.

Various embodiments are generally directed to the provision of multiple modes of a user interface that are automatically selected in response to the position and gestures of its operator. An apparatus includes an image sensor to capture at least one image of an operator, and a position component communicatively coupled to the image sensor to determine a proximate distance of the operator to a manually-operable control and to provide the determination of the distance to a user interface component to enable dynamic selection of one of multiple views of a visual portion of a user interface. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

User interface responsive to operator position and gestures

Physiological cues, such as elevated heart or respiratory rates can be masked from video of a person before the video is sent to another party. The masking of human-perceptible and non-human-perceptible physiological cues removes information from the video that another party could use to determine the person's emotional state. For example, variations in a person's skin color that are typically imperceptible to the human eye and from which a person's heart rate can be detected, can be removed or altered so that another party viewing the video cannot determine the person's actual heart rate in an attempt to determine the person's emotional state, even if they are performing computer analysis on the video. The presence of some physiological cues can be determined by detecting that a physiological measure is above a specified physiological measure threshold. Modified video can have the characteristic that physiological cues are substantially absent in the modified video or that physiological measures extracted from the modified video have a value below an associated physiological measure threshold.

Physiological cue processing

Systems and methods for guided user actions are described, including detecting a first action performed by a user; gathering information associated with the first action; retrieving a predictive model based on the information; determining an applicability level of the predictive model to the first action, the predictive model suggests a second action; providing the second action in a user interface when the applicability level meets a threshold level; and receiving input from the user selecting the second action or a third action.

Techniques may be used to accommodate occlusion. An occlusion accommodation application may determine a display position of a display of a computing device, an eye position of an eye of a user and an object position of an object. The object may be positioned between the display and the eye of the user. The occlusion accommodation application may identify, in real-time, an occluded area based on the display position, object position and the eye position.

Techniques for occlusion accomodation

Identity protection and management for electronic communication is described, including receiving a request to provide data from a first address to a second address, the request including an attribute associated with the second address, determining a risk value of the second address based on the attribute associated with the second address and a risk score, based on the risk value of the second address generating a third address that is associated with the first address, and providing the data and the third address to the second address without providing the first address to the second address.

Identity protection and management for electronic communication

Embodiments of methods, systems, and storage medium associated with transitioning a video conference session from one device accessible by a user to another device accessible by the user are disclosed herein. In one instance, the method may include detecting at least one condition for transitioning a video conference session from a first device accessible by the user associated with the video conference session to a second device accessible by the user that is not associated with the video conference session, and in response to the detection, transitioning the video conference session to the second device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Video conferencing transitions among a plurality of devices

Systems and methods for protecting sensitive data in communications are described, including identifying first information in content created by a user for a communication; sending the first information to a vault; receiving, from the vault, an identifier associated with the first information; replacing the first information in the content with second information that is associated with the first information and does not provide any indication of the content of the first information; and sending the communication comprising the content with the second information and the identifier.
