Proactive Context Generation Via Asynchronous Knowledge Graph Synchronization, Parnika Singhal, Dhruv Singhal

Defensive Publications Series

Systems for providing context to users can experience latency and data fragmentation, which may arise when systems operate reactively by executing synchronous queries across siloed data sources after a user interaction. An asynchronous process can periodically synchronize data from various sources, such as email and calendars, to build and maintain a localized vector knowledge graph that can model entities and their relationships. A proactive compute engine may use system events, for example, the arrival of a new message, as triggers to query the graph, pre-compute a relevant context payload, and cache the result. This approach may reduce latency associated with …

Generating Affective Metadata From Physiological Signals For Media Navigation, Nikita Agarwal

Defensive Publications Series

Navigating long-form media to locate scenes of a particular emotional intensity may be inefficient using conventional methods that rely on static thumbnails or broad metadata. Disclosed systems and methods can generate crowd-sourced affective metadata from physiological signals. These techniques may involve collecting anonymized physiological data, such as heart rate, from a population of consenting users via their computing devices (e.g., a smartphone, smart watch, wearable device, augmented reality glasses, etc.) during media consumption. This data can be processed and aggregated to generate a time-series representation of the collective emotional intensity for a media asset. The resulting data may then be …

Arbitrating Playback And Logging For Co-Watching Sessions, Nikita Agarwal

Defensive Publications Series

Managing co-watching sessions may present difficulties when one user becomes inactive while others remain engaged, as continuing playback could create an inaccurate viewing history for the inactive user, while pausing could disrupt the session for active users. Systems and methods are described that can arbitrate playback by evaluating an inactivity signal from one user's device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or smart television, against countervailing activity signals from other session participants' devices. If playback continues, a split-state logging mechanism can decouple individual viewing histories, for example, by pausing the viewing progress record for the inactive user while continuing to update …

Non-Custodial Ephemeral Compute Architecture For Privacy-Preserving Analysis Of Personal Data, Mary F. Camacho

Defensive Publications Series

A non-custodial, ephemeral compute architecture enables privacy-preserving analysis of personal data by an operator that, by construction and not by policy, contract, or trust, holds no persistent key material capable of decrypting the data it processes. The architecture lets an application separate two kinds of personal data that are usually conflated. Contact data is the identifying and reach information an application legitimately needs to hold (name, email, account and billing identifiers: who someone is and how to reach them). Confided data is the substantive information a person reveals about themselves: their body, mind, behavior, and life. The architecture processes the …

Dynamic Switching Between Low-Resolution Color And High-Resolution Grayscale Images Based On Text Content Queries, Lijun Li

Defensive Publications Series

Text character recognition within visual streams from head-mounted displays is impacted by data transmission constraints and low electrical capacities. Visual data is captured at a default baseline rate (e.g., of one frame per second) to manage data traffic. An image pyramid structure comprising a full-resolution monochrome representation and downscaled color representations is maintained within an image signal processing pipeline. Cooperative processing logic on a paired device determines when context demands greater detail, triggering a transition to the fullresolution monochrome layer. Data transmission volume and power usage are reduced while character recognition processing is sustained.
