A computing device and method are provided for transmitting a relevant subset of map data, called a neighborhood, to enable mutual spatial understanding by multiple display devices around a target virtual location to display a shared hologram in the same exact location in the physical environment at the same moment in time. The computing device may comprise a processor, a memory operatively coupled to the processor, and an anchor transfer program stored in the memory and executed by the processor.

Sharing neighboring map data across devices

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage mediums are described for authorizing publishing of a message and/or a subscription from an Internet of Things (IoT) device. In an example system, a message broker receives a list of attributes from a claims provider. The message broker determines whether publishing of the message is authorized based at least on the list of attributes, and publishes the message if it is determined that the publishing is authorized. The message broker may also receive a subscription specifying a topic filter. The message broker determines whether the subscription is authorized for the IoT device based at least on the list of attributes, and transmits a subscription message to the IoT device if it is determined that the subscription is authorized.

Efficient attribute-based access control authorization for a message broker

A computing device and method are provided for accelerating the coarse relocalization process of the computing device by generating a current fingerprint using signal data detected by sensors, statistically analyzing the current fingerprint for proximity to candidate fingerprints in fingerprint data to generate a ranked list, and subsequently retrieving map data corresponding to the closest matching fingerprints in the ranked list. The computing device may comprise a processor, a memory operatively coupled to the processor, and a fingerprint program stored in the memory and executed by the processor.

Coarse relocalization using signal fingerprints

In one embodiment, an application modulemay adjust a synchronization schemebased on the operational state of a computing deviceAn operating systemmay determine an operational state for a computing deviceThe operating systemmay assign a synchronization allotmentto the application modulebased on the operational state. A synchronization engineof the application modulemay implement a synchronization schemebased on the synchronization allotment

Adaptive data synchronization

A computing device is provided, including a display configured to display a plurality of holograms superimposed upon a physical environment. The computing device may further comprise a processor configured to store in non-volatile memory a representation of the physical environment, including a plurality of hologram anchors indicating locations at which the holograms are displayed. The processor may store a priority level of each hologram anchor, wherein each priority level is selected from a plurality of priority levels including a high priority level and a low priority level, and wherein at least one hologram anchor has the low priority level. The processor may determine that a total size of the plurality of hologram anchors exceeds a predetermined size threshold. The processor may, for at least one hologram anchor assigned the low priority level, delete that hologram anchor from the representation of the physical environment.

Hologram anchor prioritization

One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for providing awareness of user availability. A user may activate a device, and a request to manage an availability status can be sent from the device to a communication service. The communication service may resultantly set up monitoring of the user status, and the availability status of the user can be set to available. If an active status update is not received from the user device, the availability status of the user can be changed from available to away. If an active status update for the user continues not to be received (e.g., for a few hours) and/or device connectivity seems lost, the availability status of the user can be changed from away to offline. This can be done in a resource/power efficient manner by not requiring continual execution of an associated application and/or continual network connectivity of the device.

User availability awareness

Keep alive management techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a keep alive interval is calculated by an operating system of the computing device. The keep alive interval is used to maintain one or more notification channels between one or more applications of the computing device and a network.

Keep alive management

In one embodiment, a synchronization engineof an application modulemay adjust a synchronization schemebased on the implicit data classification of a data item. A synchronization enginemay detect a user actionexecuted by a user on a data item. The synchronization enginemay determine an action typefor the user action. The synchronization enginemay assign an item synchronization priority to the data itembased on the action type

Data classification for adaptive synchronization

In one embodiment, an application modulemay adjust a synchronization schemebased on the operational state of a computing device. An operating systemmay determine an operational state for a computing device. The operating systemmay assign a synchronization allotmentto the application modulebased on the operational state. A synchronization engineof the application modulemay implement a synchronization schemebased on the synchronization allotment

Various embodiments enable automatic cooperative logging of information associated with a connection between at least two computing devices. In some cases, a first computing device can automatically trigger logging on a second computing device upon detection of at least one scenario. Alternately or additionally, the second computing device can respond to the first computing device with additional and/or supplemental logging requests.

Cooperative client and server logging
