A system includes a plurality of cameras each enabled to operate independently of the others as a component camera. The system includes logic operable to form the component cameras into a network operable as a single federated camera device. The lens types of the component cameras are non-heterogeneous, and the federated camera forms a virtual lens comprising characteristics combining the lens types of the component cameras.

Redundant array of inexpensive cameras

A system includes an analytical router including an I/O interface to a plurality of external devices or sensors; logic to identify a device id and a time or location for measurements or feeds received from the plurality of external devices or sensors; logic to apply the device id to associate the measurements or feeds with a device id grouping of the measurements or feeds; logic to apply the time or location, or both, to associate the measurements or feeds with a temporal or geo grouping of the measurements or feeds; and a web page generator to generate a web page comprising one or more links pointing to the measurements or feeds for at least one of the temporal or geo grouping of the measurements or feeds and the device id grouping of the measurements or feeds.

Naming services extensions to URLs to handle inconstant resources, non-addressable resources, and large numbers of resources

A machine system includes monitor devices each having a camera, the monitor devices distributed over a physical area; layout logic forms images from the cameras of the monitor devices into a scene layout for the area; user interface logic receives training signals from sensors directed to a person physically present in the area and to correlate those signals to subareas of the layout; and analytical logic analyzes the layout and training signals to ascertain subareas of the area at which the monitor devices should focus machine sensor and processing resources.

Trainable versatile monitoring device and system of devices

A method includes capturing a first image at a first time using a camera; processing the first image to identify a representation of an object in the first image; storing the first image as an event forming a navigable marker in a conference room tracking system; measuring one or more of a room sound and a room activity level at a time associated with capture of the first image; generating a heat marker representing a level of the room sound or the room activity level; and storing the heat marker in association with the event.

Room conferencing system with heat map annotation of documents

A system includes sensor nodes each including camera and a processor, the nodes interconnected via a wide area network. A master controller establishes named queues each associated with a proximate physical object in an area including one or more of the sensor nodes and detectable by the sensor node camera. Each sensor node identifies a viewed physical object in a feed from the sensor node camera, and associates the viewed physical object with one of the named queues.

Distributed camera system utilizing named queues

A system includes event engine logic distributed across a plurality of devices dispersed over an area of coverage, and logic to process events according to layout information homologized by an event web service from scene captures and location data from the plurality of devices, and logic to partition the homologized layout into areas of coverage and to assign each area of coverage to a device or subgroup of devices in the plurality of devices.

Distributed event engine

A camera includes logic to capture images and video (collectively, 'media') and to store the captured media internally to the camera in an encrypted format; the encrypted format including multiple regions encrypted with different keys, each key corresponding to a human subject or object identified in the media.

Permission based camera with encrypted photo and video output

A room conferencing system includes a hub with a plurality of sensor nodes, each sensor node including a sensor node camera and a sensor node processor. A master controller is operable to establish a plurality of named queues, each of the named queues associated with a proximate physical object in an area comprising the hub and detectable by the sensor node camera. Each sensor node operable to cause the sensor node processor to identify a viewed physical object in a feed from the sensor node camera, and associate the viewed physical object with one of the named queues.

Room cloud environment for conferencing

A system includes digital media rendering devices and logic to federate the plurality of devices into a single federated rendering device for a proximate mobile device. The system accepts a request from the mobile device for rendering services by the federated rendering device via a rendering protocol.

Federated bluetooth device network with roaming capability

A handheld optical scanner and/or memory device for capturing images of text from a rendered document is described. The handheld device may include a data storage component, a scanning component configured to capture text from rendered documents, a power storage component, and a universal serial bus port configured to receive and store data from a computing device and transmit data to the computing device.
