Embodiments that relate to pairing and finding a group of accessory devices are described. In an embodiment, a pairing status is received from a first accessory device, a request is sent to the first accessory device for information on a number of accessory devices in a device group and a number of accessory devices that are proximate to the first accessory device in the device group, information on a second accessory device in the device group is received, a continue pairing message is sent to the second accessory device if the second accessory device is proximate, and a device group profile is created with information on the number of parts and received information on the second accessory device.

Pairing groups of accessories

A method for picture processing is described. A first tracking area is obtained. A second tracking area is also obtained. The method includes beginning to track the first tracking area and the second tracking area. Picture processing is performed once a portion of the first tracking area overlapping the second tracking area passes a threshold.

Tracker assisted image capture

Disclosed is a mobile device to provide continuous and discrete user authentication. The mobile device may include: a contextual sensor; a soft biometric sensor; and a processor. The processor may be configured to: implement a background authentication process in a continuous manner based upon a soft biometric input from the soft biometric sensor and a contextual input from the contextual sensor; determine an anomaly event; and based upon the anomaly event, request a discrete authentication input from the user.

Mobile device to provide continuous and discrete user authentication

A method of image retrieval includes obtaining information identifying a plurality of selected objects and selecting one among a plurality of candidate geometrical arrangements. This method also includes, by at least one processor, and in response to the selecting, identifying at least one digital image, among a plurality of digital images, that depicts the plurality of selected objects arranged according to the selected candidate geometrical arrangement.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for image retrieval

One feature pertains to a method for extracting a secret key during a secure boot flow of an integrated circuit. Specifically, the secure boot flow includes powering ON a first volatile memory circuit to generate a plurality of initial logical state values, deriving secret data based on the plurality of initial logical state values, storing the secret data in a secure volatile memory circuit that is secured by a secure execution environment (SEE), clearing the plurality of initial logical state values in the first volatile memory circuit, executing a cryptographic algorithm at the SEE to extract a secret key based on the secret data, and storing the secret key in the secure volatile memory circuit. The secure boot flow controls access to the first volatile memory circuit to secure the secret data and the plurality of initial logical state values from the insecure applications.

Key extraction during secure boot

A method of generating metadata includes using at least one digital image to select a plurality of objects, wherein the at least one digital image depicts the plurality of objects in relation to a physical space. The method also includes, by at least one processor and based on information indicating positions of the selected objects in a location space, producing metadata that identifies one among a plurality of candidate geometrical arrangements of the selected objects.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for encoding object formations

A method includes selecting at least two objects within a primary video stream, generating a first video stream from the primary video stream that includes a first of the selected objects, and generating a second video stream from the primary video stream that includes a second of the selected objects. The primary video stream has a primary field of view, and the first and second video streams have respective first and second fields of view that are more narrow than the primary field of view. The first field of view includes a portion of the primary field of view that is not within the second field of view, and the second field of view includes a portion of the primary field of view that is not within the first field of view.
