Various systems and methods for implementing a software defined industrial system are described herein. For example, an orchestrated system of distributed nodes may run an application, including modules implemented on the distributed nodes. In response to a node failing, a module may be redeployed to a replacement node. In an example, self-descriptive control applications and software modules are provided in the context of orchestratable distributed systems. The self-descriptive control applications may be executed by an orchestrator or like control device and use a module manifest to generate a control system application. For example, an edge control node of the industrial system may include a system on a chip including a microcontroller (MCU) to convert IO data. The system on a chip includes a central processing unit (CPU) in an initial inactive state, which may be changed to an activated state in response an activation signal.

Distributed software-defined industrial systems

An Internet of Things (IoT) system that includes an orchestration device is provided. The orchestration device receives resource requirements and accesses a device/capability map to produce a task deployment map.

Adaptive deployment of applications

Systems and methods may provide for confirming, by a loader module having administrative rights with respect to a computing device, the operability of an activator module on the computing device. Additionally, the activator module may be used to manage an installation status of one or more service agents or software components on the computing device and making them persistent. In one example, confirming the operability of the activator module includes conducting a presence verification and/or authentication of the activator module, wherein a replacement activator module may be downloaded to the computing device if the presence verification and/or authentication is unsuccessful.

Provisioning persistent, dynamic and secure cloud services

Various systems and methods are provided for implementing a software defined industrial system. In an example, self-descriptive control applications and software modules are provided in the context of orchestratable distributed systems. The self-descriptive control applications may be executed by an orchestrator or like control device, configured to: identify available software modules adapted to perform functional operations in a control system environment; identify operational characteristics that identify characteristics of execution of the available software modules that are available to implement a control system application; select a software module for execution based on the operational configuration and the operational characteristics identified in the manifest; and cause the execution of the selected software module in the control system environment based on an application specification for the control system application.

Technologies for informing a remote user of a local user's availability to receive a contact on a communication device are disclosed. The availability of the local user may be determined based on the local user's context information, which may be reported to the remote user in response to a contact status request. The local user's context information provided to the remote user may inform, for example, whether the local user is available to receive a contact, the best way to contact the local user, and/or other context information of the local user. The type and/or level of specificity of the local user's context information reported to the remote user may be determined based on a privacy level, which may be determined based on the local user's context, the identity of the remote user, and/or other criteria. In some embodiments, contact status updates may be provided to the remote user.

Notification of contact status of remote user

Methods, systems and computer program products that allow for the determination of human presence in a room where content is being presented. The audio that is associated with the content may be captured, along with the audio that is being generated collectively by whatever sources may be in the room including the presentation of the content. Features may be extracted from both the content audio and the room audio. These features may then be compared, and the differences may be quantified. If the differences are significant, then human presence may be inferred.

A method, system and computer control logic to provide personalization of a viewers usage of an Internet TV platform. The method includes tracking a viewers interactive usage pattern of the TV platform; generating viewer usage data based on the tracking; analyzing the viewer usage data on a substantially real-time basis; and personalizing the viewer's usage of the TV platform on a based on an analysis the viewer usage data.

Validation of TV viewership utilizing methods, systems and computer control logic

While cloud services can offer processing from personal devices or synthesized data from multiple sources, many users prefer their data to remain private. According to some embodiments, private user data may be processed in the cloud without revealing the user identity to the cloud service provider. Only the user or an authorized agent of the user and the service's hardware platform have access to certain keys. The service application software and operating system only have access to encrypted data.

Information about the context of electronic media may be extracted automatically. The extracted information may then be used to select ancillary services or applications that may be of interest to the user. The context information may be developed from ancillary information associated with the media, such as metadata or electronic programming guides. It may also be extracted from the media itself, including identification of image elements, audio elements, or other depicted features within the media in order to obtain information about what is being displayed.
