Bringing Shadow Libraries Out Of Legal Shadows: An Opportunity For The Delhi High Court, Rahul Bajaj, Anchal Bhateja

Indian Journal of Law and Technology

At the heart of the copyright bargain is the need to strike a balance between fostering creativity, by incentivizing producers of intellectual property and promoting the interests of the public at large. These two are often in tension with each other. Some cases bring this tension into sharp focus. The ongoing litigation in the Delhi high Court, on the legality of shadow libraries - Libgen and Sci Hub - is one such case. The case has seminal importance for ensuring that the right to education is duly respected and fulfilled.

In this paper, we argue that this litigation offers the …

Do Judges Understand Technology? How Attorneys And Advocates View Judicial Responsibility In Cyberstalking And Cyberharassment Cases, Kateryna Kaplun

International Journal on Responsibility

As new technologies emerge and are increasingly used to commit interpersonal cybercrimes like cyberstalking and cyberharassment, the legal system lags in assisting victims in obtaining justice in these types of experiences. This qualitative research study explores how attorney and advocate interviewees from Illinois, New Jersey, and New York view judges’ responsibility to the law in cyberstalking and cyberharassment cases. This study finds three themes: judges’ lack of understanding of technology and its harms, discretion, and law on the books versus law in action as important factors and frameworks that contribute to why judges do not consider the importance of technology …

Artificial Intelligence Assisted Online Interactions, Harikrishna Mallisetty, Bhavikkumar Patel, Kolati Mallikarjuna Rao

Defensive Publications Series

Social media users benefit from a more personalized and interactive connection with public figures and others they engage with via social media. However, such engagement requires active effort from the public figure and can only occur when the celebrity is available for such sessions. This disclosure describes techniques, implemented with specific user permission, to train an artificial intelligence (AI) model based on user data of an individual or entity. The trained model can represent the individual’s personality and engage in online interactions on behalf of the individual or entity with users of a social media platform, a messaging/chat service, audio …

Blended Hdr-Sdr Operation, Chien-Hui Wen, Hsin-Hsueh Li

Defensive Publications Series

It is common in smartphone applications to have a window of HDR (high dynamic range) content against an SDR (standard dynamic range) background. Due to differences in supply voltages and refresh rates between HDR and SDR, luminance can be discontinuous at the HDR-SDR boundary, resulting in visual anomalies, flicker, and perceptual difficulties. This disclosure describes techniques to provide a smooth HDR-SDR transition during blended HDR-SDR operation. A raw gamma curve, e.g., as set by the display manufacturer, is recomputed such that a target luminance is met at a different refresh rate. A smooth SDR-HDR transition is obtained by applying the …

Fusing Voice And Gesture Input To Improve Text Transcription Accuracy, D Shin

Defensive Publications Series

While speech input, detected by on-device microphones, enables users to provide voice commands or other text at a higher speed than typing, the accuracy of transcription can suffer in certain environments, e.g., in the presence of background noise. Gesture input via a virtual keyboard is convenient but slower and also prone to errors, e.g., when a gesture resolves to multiple words. Per techniques of this disclosure, a user can provide spoken and gesture input at the same time to a user device. Each input is converted to text separately. The stereo text stream is time aligned using word-to-word distance to …

Privacy-Friendly Personalization Of Llm Responses Using Hashed Entity Injection, Keun Soo Yim

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes techniques that enable a server-side large language model to provide personalized responses to user queries while protecting user personal data that is used in a request sent to the LLM from a user device. With user permission, entities from personal data stored locally on a user device are retrieved and hashed using a hash function at the local device. The hashed values are injected in a request sent to the LLM that is located in the cloud or other network location distinct from the local device. The LLM generates a response including one or more hashed values …

Dynamic Payment Option Interface Based On Scanned Qr Code, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

Quick response (QR) codes enable customers to easily identify their digital payment identifier of a merchant to initiate a payment. A merchant may display multiple different QR codes associated with different merchant service providers. The presence of multiple QR codes that lead to different payment apps may prevent the user from making a payment using their preferred payment method, e.g., that provides rewards or other benefits. Receiving payments via multiple service providers can also prevent a merchant from receiving merchant benefits being offered by particular payment service providers. This disclosure introduces techniques that recognize that a QR code associated with …

Sensor-Encoded Generative Language Modeling For High Resolution Occupancy Sensing And Building Control, D Shin

Defensive Publications Series

Traditional techniques for generating indoor occupancy maps involve the use of a network of distributed sensors to determine occupancy and/or movement within a facility to derive actionable insights and inform automated control mechanisms. These approaches are constrained by their ability to provide only coarse and often binary data—essentially, determining whether someone is present at a location or not. A more sophisticated approach that can capture data on occupancy with both spatial and temporal details can enable finer control and more nuanced automation triggers. This disclosure describes a large occupancy model that extends large language model (LLM) techniques with an occupancy …

Crowdsourcing Feedback For Large Language Models By Granting Query Credits, Lois Smith, Benjamin Azose

Defensive Publications Series

Running large language models (LLMs) is expensive and therefore, service providers that provide access to LLMs impose rate limits or quotas. Also, while LLMs can be improved based on human feedback, hiring and training personnel to provide ratings to LLM responses can be expensive. This disclosure proposes providing users of LLM-powered chatbots or other experiences additional query credits in response to providing scores for LLM responses to one or more prior queries. The provided query can be the user's own prior query, a query from a testing system or developer, a query from another user (with specific user permission), etc. …

Universal App For Receiving Payment Notifications From Digital Payment Providers, Ankit Aggarwal

Defensive Publications Series

Merchants that receive digital payment notifications on a smartphone that is additionally used for other tasks may miss the incoming notification, may not have time to look at the notifications, or may not be able to verify payment receipt when the payment app is turned off or the smartphone loses connectivity. While dedicated speaker devices that provide audible notifications are available, these are proprietary, expensive, difficult to upgrade, and limited to a specific merchant account provider. This disclosure describes techniques that use a lightweight messaging protocol such as Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) to provide enhanced digital payment notifications. A …

Converting Analog Objects Into Speakers Using Intelligent Hrtf Aware Panning, D Shin

Defensive Publications Series

While multiple smart devices may be present in a home environment and respond to spoken commands from a user, in current configurations, users can interact with only one smart device at a time. Based on detecting a spoken command from a user, a smart device that is close to the user’s current location within the home. generates and provides a response. This disclosure describes techniques that enable a user to provide a spoken command while facing or being near any object (an analog object or a non-smart device) in their surroundings, not necessarily a smart device, and to receive an …

Locating A Sound Source Using Single Microphone And Inertial Measurements, Pc Chuang, Uiliong (Will) Lau, Vincent Chung

Defensive Publications Series

Locating a sound source in an indoor environment, e.g., a noise source, is difficult just based on human listening. While acoustic cameras with multiple microphone arrays can be used to locate the sound source, such equipment is expensive and unsuitable for many use cases. This disclosure describes techniques to identify the location of a sound source using a single built-in microphone and inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor on a user device. Device motion and velocity data is obtained from the IMU. A baseline is established by recording sound without user movement to determine the frequency domain of sound. The user …
