Abstract: A method and system for dynamically reconfiguring control pairing in a system comprising a controlling device, a first controlled device, and a second controlled device. An example method includes, when the controlling device is set to control state of the first controlled device, a processor determining that the first controlled device has experienced an operational failure. Further, the example method includes, responsive to the determining, the processor engaging in dynamic reconfiguration of the system, the dynamic reconfiguration causing the controlling device to control state of a second device instead of or in addition to the controlling device controlling state of the first controlled device.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling media-content presentation. An example method includes a computing system detecting that a media-player device has moved from a home location of the media-player device to a visited location and that the media-player device is connected with a media-presentation device at the visited location. Further, the example method includes, responsive to the detecting, the computing system causing the media-player device to output, for presentation by the media-presentation device at the visited location, media content selected by the computing system based on the media-player device having moved from the home location to the visited location. For instance, the computing system could cause the media-player device to output, for presentation by the media-presentation device, a message welcoming a user to the visited location and/or information about the visited location such as information about tourist attractions at the visited location for instance.

Abstract: In one aspect, an example method includes (i) receiving, from a content-distribution system, video comprising a watermark; (ii) extracting the watermark from the video; (iii) based on the extracted watermark, determining a content-creation attribute of the video that indicates a process by which the video was created, wherein the determining comprises using the watermark to select the content-creation attribute from among a set of two or more content-creation attributes comprising organically-generated video and synthetically-generated video; and (iv) in response to determining the content-creation attribute of the video, causing a content-presentation device to perform an action.

Abstract: In one aspect, an example method includes (i) estimating, using a skeletal detection model, a pose of an original actor for each of multiple frames of a video; (ii) obtaining, for each of a plurality of the estimated poses, a respective image of a replacement actor; (iii) obtaining replacement speech in the replacement actor's voice that corresponds to speech of the original actor in the video; (iv) generating, using the estimated poses, the images of the replacement actor, and the replacement speech, synthetic frames corresponding to the multiple frames of the video that depict the replacement actor in place of the original actor, with the synthetic frames including facial expressions for the replacement actor that temporally align with the replacement speech; and (iv) combining the synthetic frames and the replacement speech so as to obtain a synthetic video that replaces the original actor with the replacement actor.
