System, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program embodiments are provided for determining a presentation configuration of content. An example method can include determining information about primary content displayed on a first display and an environment of the first display, the information including a display configuration of the primary content, a characteristic of the primary content, and/or an indication whether a user is present in the environment and/or the environment includes a second display coupled to a client or a different client that is coupled to the client; based on the information, determining a different display configuration for displaying the secondary content; and based on the different display configuration, generating an instruction to display the secondary content at the second display or on an ROI at the first display, the ROI excluding the primary content or including a portion of the primary content having a saliency below a threshold.

Intelligent and adjustable configuration and presentation of media content

Disclosed herein are system, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for generating a long exposure composite image (LECI) frame, wherein the LECI frame provides a summary of activity in a monitored environment over a duration of time. An embodiment captures, using an image-capturing device, a sequence of image frames over the duration of time using an optical sensor of the image-capturing device. The embodiment then generates the LECI frame, using an embedded low-power processor coupled to the optical sensor and dedicated to generating LECI frames, by combining the sequence of image frames. The embodiment then transmits the LECI frame to a network device using a transceiver coupled to the low-power processor.

In one aspect, an example method includes monitoring, by a hub station, a first channel activity level associated with a first channel of a plurality of channels within a particular frequency range. The hub station communicates with a low-energy device using the first channel. The method includes determining that the first channel activity level satisfies a threshold activity level and switching to a second channel of the plurality of channels to communicate with the low-energy device. The method includes notifying the low-energy device that the hub station switched to the second channel by sending an acknowledgement message to the low-energy device on the second channel in response to receiving a message from the low-energy device on the second channel. The message is sent to the hub station on the second channel after at least one unsuccessful attempt to send the message to the hub station on the first channel.

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method, and/or computer program product embodiments for a mobile device based control device locator. An embodiment operates by receiving a request to locate a control device, transmitting acoustic token transmission information to the control device to activate an electroacoustic transducer on the control device, receiving an acoustic signal including an acoustic token signal from the control device via a plurality of acoustic sensors, and determining distance information of the control device based on the received acoustic token signal generated by the electroacoustic transducer of the control device.

Mobile device based control device locator

Embodiments included herein generally relate to processing data samples. More particularly, embodiments relate to processing a plurality of data samples using a multi-agent ring-buffer and a plurality of agents configured to communicate with the ring-buffer to process each of the plurality of data samples.

Multi-agent ring-buffer

Disclosed herein are system, method, and tangible computer readable medium for creating a desired audio effect for a user. The method includes operations including: causing a plurality of speakers to play test signals, each test signal being specific to one of the speakers; receiving from a remote device recorded frequency responses of the speakers resulting from the playing of the test signals; creating one or more filters to match an audio profile selected by a user; applying the filters to the recorded frequency responses to obtain filtered transformations of the speakers; and transmitting the filtered transformations to the speakers; wherein the filtered transformations are applied at the speakers to thereby achieve the user audio profile.
