A computer system and method for synchronizing actions associated with media between a media/network device and peripherals. In an example implementation, a system includes a one or more processors configured to receive, by a communication module from a media/network device based on peripheral addressing information, a peripheral payload including a first set of actions and timing information related to media. The one or more processors perform the first set of actions based on the peripheral payload, generate response data for the first set of actions, and transmit the response data to the media/network device via a wireless network.

Media synchronized control of peripherals

The invention provides a new stirrup design for children, that secures the foot preventing unwanted movement, thus making the footing more stable and safer, preventing bouncing off, sliding forward, or sliding sideways. In the event the passenger dismounts, the invention is specially designed to release its grip on the foot enabling easy removal. In the event the passenger falls backward, the invention has a specific malleable design to enable the foot to pivot up and back, thus preventing the foot from getting entangled or trapped.

Stirrup pocket

Systems and methods are provided for influential control over a driver's operation of a vehicle's steering wheel. Upon issuing an autonomous control signal to control motive operation of the vehicle, an autonomous control system of the vehicle may reinforce or influence the application of the autonomous control signal by inducing or cuing to induce the driver's hand(s) to turn the vehicle's steering wheel in a particular direction or by a particular amount/with a particular level of torque.

Systems and methods for providing directional steering cues

Method to customize an application associated with a television experience based on the recognition of users located in front of a display and in the field of view of a camera, comprising the following steps: While subsequent identification is requested by the application, the following steps are executed

Method and device to speed up face recognition

A method includes receiving sensor data associated with one or more inputs associated with a road portion, determining a level of risk associated with each of the one or more inputs, determining an estimated amount of computing resources that each of a plurality of candidate computing methods will consume, and selecting one or more computing methods from the plurality of candidate computing methods to associate with the one or more inputs based on the levels of risk associated with the one or more inputs and the estimated amount of computing resources that the candidate computing methods will consume.

Methods and systems for prioritizing computing methods for autonomous vehicles

Techniques for providing live content at different quality levels to a user device include advertising content availability at multiple quality levels for selection by the user device, receiving a quality level selection from the user device, wherein the quality level selection matches one of the advertised multiple quality levels, determining whether the received quality level selection differs from a currently used quality level, when it is determined that the received quality level selection is different from the currently used quality level, reconfiguring a transcoder to transcode the live content to only the received quality level, and updating a metafile to include a first quality level at a first bitrate lower than a bitrate for the received quality level selection and a second quality level at a second bitrate higher than the bitrate for the received quality level selection.

Tiered content streaming

One embodiment provides a system comprising at least one processor and a non-transitory processor-readable memory device storing instructions that when executed by the at least one processor causes the at least one processor to perform operations including to obtain sensor data of a vehicle operating in an autonomous mode, determine a confidence level for continued operation of the vehicle in the autonomous mode based on the obtained sensor data, and selectively trigger a handoff protocol based on the confidence level determined. Movement of the vehicle is autonomously controlled in the autonomous mode. The handoff protocol comprises providing information to at least one input/output (I/O) device inside the vehicle as an alert of an upcoming transition from operating the vehicle in the autonomous mode to a manual mode.

System and method for providing information indicative of autonomous availability

A method, system, device, and/or a non-transitory computer readable medium to provide a customized application associated with a television experience based on the recognition of users located in front of a television display and in the field of view of a camera. The method may include performing an initializing operation, the initializing operation including enrolling a plurality of users in a database of a computer system, acquiring a wide image using the camera and scanning the wide image for biometric information; and performing an identification operation requested by the application including, acquiring a second wide image with the camera, extracting an active area from the second wide image, storing the extracted active area as a second fast scanning area image, and extracting the biometric data of a face appearing in the second fast scanning area image.

Advertisements included in a stored digital video program are identified and indexed. A user can time shift the advertisements to play out at a different time position in the program or not play the advertisement at all. A user may incur an advertisement debt for skipping or fast forwarding an advertisement. The advertisement debt can be offset by viewing ads, trading the debt with other users or by paying for the debt in another form.

Time shifting of advertisements in digital content delivery services

A computer system and method for delivering synchronized metadata for a media to a target device that is associated with a plurality of peripherals.
