Abstract: A method and a system for using crowdsourcing as a basis to predict and respond to emergency impact. An example method includes (i) a computing system receiving emergency-state reporting provided by multiple customer premises in a region, (ii) the computing system determining, based on the received emergency-state reporting provided by the multiple customer premises in the region, that a region-wide emergency situation exists in the region, and (iii) the computing system taking action, in response to the determining, based on the emergency-state reporting provided by the multiple customer premises in the region, that the region-wide emergency situation exists in the region.

Abstract: In one aspect, an example method includes (i) receiving, from one or more cameras in a viewing environment of a content-presentation device, video of a user performing a fitness exercise in the viewing environment; (ii) using the received video and a skeletal detection model to estimate skeletal movement of the user; (iii) generating a synthetic video representing the user moving according to the estimated skeletal movement; (iv) based on a comparison of the estimated skeletal movement with predefined reference skeletal movement representing desired skeletal movement for the fitness exercise, and while the user is performing the fitness exercise, continually calculating a metric representing a difference between the estimated skeletal movement and the reference skeletal movement; and (v) causing the content-presentation device to concurrently display the generated synthetic video, a reference video representing the reference skeletal movement, and an indication of the metric.

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.

Abstract: A method and system for collecting context information in response to prediction of an emergency event. A cloud-based computing system could determine that an emergency event is predicted to impact a customer premises at an upcoming time. Responsive to that determination, and before the upcoming time, the cloud-based computing system could then cause or more on-premises computing devices at the customer premises to collect and report context information, such as a count of people present at the customer premises and/or an operational state of one or more utilities or other systems at the customer premises, that may assist in responding to the emergency event. Further, the cloud-based computing system could select a given such device at the customer premises to function as a coordinating device to work with one or more other devices at the customer premises to collect and report the context information.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling media-content presentation based on user presence and/or user profile. An example method includes a computing system determining a quantity of users present at a media-presentation device, the quantity being at least one. Further, the example method includes, based on the determining, the computing system using the determined quantity of users present at the media-presentation device as a basis to control what media content a media player outputs for presentation by the media-presentation device. For instance, based on the determined quantity of users the computing system could tailor a graphical user interface (GUI) that the media player outputs for presentation by the media-presentation device, such as by tailoring a set of channel options that a channel-selection GUI provides, among other possibilities.

Abstract: A method for provisioning a group of devices with control-group data defining one or more functional interrelationships between the devices. The method includes providing a GUI defining an online application marketplace, the GUI specifying multiple applications available for download, each application including a different respective set of control-group data defining a different respective set of one or more functional interrelationships. Further, the method includes receiving user input selecting a given one of the applications, the selected application defining given control-group data defining a given set of one or more functional interrelationships. And the method includes responsively (i) downloading the selected application and (ii) provisioning the devices of the group with the given set of control-group data, the provisioning establishing the given set of one or more functional interrelationships between the devices of the group.
