The present disclosure provides systems and methods that perform structure-based access control. In particular, rather than relying upon a user-specific credential scheme, which can require manual sharing of user-specific credentials and/or switching between the multiple accounts to access the particular devices, applications, or services associated with such accounts, the systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate user credentials to be inherited by or otherwise assigned to a structure identifier associated with a structure (e.g., a home in which the user resides), thereby generating a set of structure credentials. This enables other users in the structure, who may be part of a collaborative user group, to access devices, applications, and/or services using the structure credentials.

Structure-based access control

Methods, systems, and media for displaying streaming media content on a user device using video sprite sheets are provided. In some embodiments, a method for displaying streaming media content on a user device includes: receiving a first request to view media content through a media content streaming session in a user interface on a user device; transmitting, by the user device, a second request to a server that hosts the media content based on the first request to view the media content; receiving, at the user device, a response from the server, wherein the response comprises a video sprite sheet and the media content, wherein the video sprite sheet includes a plurality of video sprites in which each video sprite is selectable for rendering in portions of the user interface; determining that the media content streaming session contains a first reference to a first video sprite from the video sprite sheet, wherein the first reference is received by the user device and wherein the first reference further includes instructions to present the first video sprite concurrently with the media content; determining a location of the first video sprite within the video sprite sheet, wherein the location of the first video sprite comprises spatial coordinates of the first video sprite within the video sprite sheet and temporal coordinates of the first video sprite within the video sprite sheet; and causing the first video sprite to be presented concurrently with the media content in the user interface.

Methods, systems, and media for displaying streaming media content on a user device using video sprite sheets

Various implementations relate to generating, locally at an assistant client device, specific control commands that, when transmitted to a corresponding smart device, are directly interpretable by the corresponding smart device to effectuate a state change at the corresponding smart device, or at a corresponding additional smart device directly controlled by the corresponding smart device. Various implementations additionally or alternatively relate to utilizing local assistant client devices in discovering, provisioning, and/or registering smart devices for an account of a user.

Control and/or registration of smart devices, locally by an assistant client device

Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to processing voice commands or utterances. For instance, data indicative of a voice utterance can be received. A device topology representation can be accessed. The device topology representation can define a plurality of smart devices associated with one or more structures. The device topology representation can further define a location of each of the plurality of devices within the associated structures. A transcription of the voice utterance can be determined based at least in part on the device topology representation. One or more selected devices and one or more actions to be performed by the one or more selected devices can be determined based at least in part on the determined transcription and the device topology representation.

Processing voice commands based on device topology

Implementations generally relate to storing content items. In some implementations, a method includes receiving content items on a mobile device. The method includes storing the content items on local storage on the mobile device. The method includes determining available local storage capacity of the mobile device. The method includes uploading content items to secondary storage, and selecting content items to remove from the local storage or add to the local storage based on predetermined criteria, for example, when the available local storage capacity meets a threshold available local storage capacity.

Storing content items

Implementations relate to prioritized data transmission features over networks. A method can include deriving description data from content data. The description data describes content of the content data and includes one or more portions corresponding to one or more portions of the content data. The description data is transmitted to a destination over a network to be made accessible over the network at the destination to one or more users. The content data also is transmitted to the destination to be made accessible. At least one portion of the description data finishes transmitting and is made accessible before its corresponding portion of the content information finishes transmitting and is made accessible.

Prioritized data transmission over networks

A computer-implemented method and computing system for generating a slideshow is provided. The method may include generating, using one or more computing devices, an event page corresponding to a particular event, the event page associated with a social network. The method may also include allowing access to the event page to one or more members of the social network. The method may further include receiving at least one photograph at the event page from the one or more members of the social network, displaying the at least one photograph at the event page and generating a slideshow based upon, at least in part, the at least one photograph received at the event page.

System and method for creating slideshows

A method and computing system for receiving a first video file containing a first plurality of video frames. A second video file containing a second plurality of video frames is received. The video files are processed to identify at least one non-graphical temporal alignment object included in each of the video files. The video files are temporally aligned using the at least one non-graphical temporal alignment object to produce temporally-aligned video files.

Video stitching system and method

In some implementations, a method includes receiving a selection of one or more users of a social networking service, the selection received via a social networking interface. A live visual data feed derived from a camera is received, where the received live visual data feed has a multiple frames and has a time interval between successive frames of the live visual data feed. A modified live visual data feed is sent over a network to be distributed using the social networking service to the selected users of the social networking service. The modified live feed includes frames derived from the frames of the received live visual data feed, and the modified feed provides a different time interval between its successive frames than the time interval between the frames of the received live feed.
