    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for improving efficiency of electric vehicle charging stations by allowing multiple charging connectors from each charging port at a station, so that the connectors can be plugged into multiple vehicles at the same time, establishing a queue based on order of arrival and other factors, and automatically switching active charging among the connectors. Specifically, the vehicle charging station identifies a plurality of vehicles simultaneously electrically connected to a plurality of charging cables, then identifies an order of connection of the plurality of vehicles to the plurality of charging cables, and based on the order of connection, selects a subset of the plurality of vehicles to be charged, then configures the switch system to enable the at least one power generator to charge the subset of the plurality of vehicles.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for routing audio and/or video streams and remote rendered video layout for conference side group conversations and voice assistant providers are disclosed. During a main conference comprising a plurality of users, a request is received to create a side group conversation comprising a subgroup of the plurality of users. A voice assistant provider is invited to the side group conversation. Users in the subgroup may be granted different permissions to query or receive responses from the voice assistant. Incoming audio and video streams from each user are demultiplexed and decoded. Decoded audio streams are processed by an appropriate audio mixer of the group and voice assistant. Decoded video streams are processed and rendered based on a video grouping render policies. Processed audio streams for each group and voice assistant and/or rendered videos are encoded and routed to each user through their dedicated multiplexer.

    Abstract: System and methods of providing automatic recording of a virtual meeting based on user activity is disclosed. The method includes determining if a virtual meeting has begun and if a user is available or attentive based on one or more sensors, including a webcam, a Bluetooth controller, an infrared camera, a proximity detector, and a microphone connected to the user device. When it is determined that the user is insufficiently available or attentive, a recording of the virtual meeting is started. A user attention status may be reassessed periodically, and the recording continues as long as the user remains insufficiently available or attentive. Once the user is determined to be available, the recording is ended.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that allow a server of a first content service provider, to send a query to a server of another service provider. The query includes a user ID and list of content IDs related to media content available on the first service. In response to the query, the server of the second service retrieves personalized content ratings for each content item associated with the list of content IDs, where the personalized content ratings are generated by a recommendation model of the second service. The personalized content ratings are transmitted back to the first service and displayed on a first service user interface.

    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods enable a queue-based real-time navigation of linear television channels using a two button “channel backtrack” (or, e.g., “channel down”) and “next channel” (or, e.g., “channel up”) approach. Rather than tedious surfing of a static channel lineup, the systems and methods utilize two dynamic queues: a history queue tracks recently visited channels and a future queue is loaded with recommended channels based on personalized rankings. Using these two queues, and an input interface for a “channel backtrack” command and a “next channel” command, the disclosed techniques provide users an alternative to typical channel surfing experiences. The queue of future channels can be dynamically updated based on updated rankings and recommendations.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for imaging and content generation. During a road trip, a driver or passenger observes an object or scene from a vehicle. From a perspective of the driver or passenger, the object or scene flows out of view in a relatively short amount of time. Images and video of the object or scene are captured with cameras. A field of view is extended beyond what the driver or passenger can easily observe. The capture is configurable to focus on particular types of objects or scenes. Recordings of billboards and road signs are easily displayed after passing the object. Object identification, gaze determination, and interest determination are provided. Curated content is generated. Applications to extended reality environments are provided. Artificial intelligence systems, including neural networks, and models are utilized to improve the imaging and content generation. Related apparatuses, devices, techniques, and articles are also described.

    Abstract: A problem with online transactions is that a customer may unwillingly be profiled by a corporate entity. To hinder such profiling, a customer may occasionally generate a public/private key pair, and present the public key to a digital token service for use as a pseudonym included in tokens issued to the customer. A subsequent assignment of the digital token to a corporate entity can then be performed by adding the public key of the corporate entity to the token, and signing the combination with the private key which pairs with the pseudonymous public key in the token. A return transaction from the corporate entity to the customer can then add the pseudonymous public key to a return digital token and sign the combination with the corporate entity's private key. Routing the digital token to the customer may be achieved by replying directly to the anonymous inbound token.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for shadow detection and reduction during document capture are disclosed herein. Temporary images of hardcopy documents are analyzed to determine the presence of a shadow or hotspot that obscures information of the hardcopy document. In response to detecting the shadow or hotspot, a controllable light source is used to illuminate the hardcopy document at predicted and/or predetermined intensities to minimize or eliminate the shadow on the hardcopy document. A permanent image of the hardcopy document illuminated by the controllable light source at the intensity that minimizes or eliminates the shadow is then stored. In this way, information of the hardcopy document (such as text, color, layout, spacing etc.) is increased in the permanent image and a need for post-processing the permanent image is reduced or eliminated.
