Abstract: A method and system for use of obfuscation coding. An example method includes a computing system receiving an image that depicts a human face. The method then includes the computing system generating a modified image based on the received image, with the generating of the modified image involving inserting into the received image an obfuscation marker that (i) obfuscates the human face in a manner that prevents a person observing the modified image from identifying the human face and (ii) includes predefined symbology that is interpretable by a machine to identify the obfuscated human face. Further, the method includes using the predefined symbology in the modified image as a basis to take action based on an identity of the human face.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes receiving video content comprising a first data portion comprising parameters that control a visual appearance of frames of video content presented by a content-presentation device. The content-presentation device is communicatively coupled to a light unit that is (i) present in a viewing area of the content-presentation device and (ii) configured to provide ambient light in the viewing area. The method also includes extracting, from the received video content, a second data portion, separate from the first data portion, specifying one or more light control parameters that a controller associated with the light unit is configured to interpret as instructions for controlling the light unit. The method also includes transmitting the extracted second data portion to the controller to facilitate the controller controlling the light unit according to the specified one or more light control parameters.
