Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided that capture and process frames of frame data. An image sensor captures frames of frame data representative of light incident upon the image sensor using a rolling shutter and outputs the frames of frame data. The image sensor captures at least one of the frames over a frame capture interval and then waits over a blanking interval before capturing another frame. A buffer receives and stores the frames output by the image sensor. An image signal processor retrieves the frames from the buffer and processes the frames over successive frame processing intervals to generate a video having a time interval per frame greater than the frame capture interval. At least one of the successive frame processing intervals is greater than the frame capture interval and is less than or equal to a sum of the frame capture interval and the blanking interval.

Abstract:

Various examples describe interfacing at least one computing device to a plurality of human users. An interface system may receive goal data describing a shared goal shared by a plurality of users and transaction data describing a first transaction made by a first user of the plurality of users. The interface system may also receive, from a user computing device, audio data describing speech of the first user and of a second user. The interface system may extract a first word from the audio data and detect a conflict between at least two of the plurality of users based at least in part on the goal data, the transaction data, and the first word. The interface system may further determine a mediation routine for the conflict based at least in part on the goal data, the transaction data, and the first word, and execute the mediation routine.

Abstract:

Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure can help improve the functionality of virtual assistant (VA) systems by identifying various goals for a user (e.g., with regard to the user's employment, fitness, health, finances, etc.) and steps that can be taken by the user and/or the VA to achieve such goals. Additionally, embodiments of the present disclosure help users track progress on their goals and provide recommendations and information to help users achieve their goals.

Abstract:

An image capture device having multiple image sensors having overlapping fields of view that aligns the image sensors based on images captured by image sensors. A pixel shift is identified between the images. Based on the identified pixel shift, a calibration is applied to one or more of the image sensors. To determine the pixel shift, a processor applies correlation methods including edge matching. Calibrating the image sensors may include adjusting a read window on an image sensor. The pixel shift can also be used to determine a time lag, which can be used to synchronize subsequent image captures.

Abstract:

A vehicle occupant identity system or device for facilitating a merged vehicle identity comprising one or more passenger identities is described along with a financial institution computing system. The device is integrated in the vehicle or is a separate device positioned in or on the vehicle. The device identifies and authenticates one or more individuals inside the vehicle or in close proximity. In some arrangements, the device adjusts restrictions and permissions related to using the vehicle depending on the identity of the occupants. In some arrangements, the occupant identity device uses an additional source of information to detect the reason for the trip inside the vehicle and adjusts storing of historical information along with adjusting restrictions and permissions. In some arrangements, the device stores financial information associated with the identities of the occupants of the vehicle allowing for payment of goods or services received from a merchant.
