Appl. No.:

12/237752

Inventors:

James A. Stout - Highland UT, US
Howard B. Gee - Highland UT, US

Assignee:

Card Access, Inc. - SALT LAKE CITY UT

International Classification:

G06F 21/00

US Classification:

726 4

Abstract:

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for responsibility-based data management. In one embodiment, the method may include the steps of: (i) receiving, from a network participant, a request to access an information set; (ii) setting a permission indicator in response to a determination that the network participant is associated with a group dissemination attribute that authorizes the network participant to access the information set; (iii) modifying the permission indicator in response to a determination that an exception rule modifies the group dissemination attribute; (iv) setting the permission indicator in response to a determination that the network participant is associated with a system position attribute that authorizes the network participant to access the information set; and (v) providing access to the information set in response to a determination that the permission indicator authorizes the network participant to access the information set.

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and media for rewinding media content based on detected audio events are provided. In some embodiments, a method for providing media guidance is provided, the method comprising: causing media content to be presented; receiving, using an audio input device, audio data that includes ambient sounds in an environment in which the media content is being presented; receiving a user command to rewind the media content; detecting that a portion of the audio data corresponds to an audio event that occurred during the presentation of the media content in response to receiving the user command to rewind the media content; determining a playback position in the media content based on the audio event; and causing the media content to be presented from the determined playback position.

Appl. No.:

16/879424

Inventors:

- Mountain View CA, US
Yiwen Xu - Sunnyvale CA, US
James Stout - Mountain View CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 11/36

Abstract:

The disclosure relates to testing software for operating an autonomous vehicle. For instance, a first simulation may be run using log data and the software to control a first simulated vehicle. During this, one or more characteristics of the simulated vehicle may be compared with one or more characteristics of a vehicle from the log data. The comparison may be used to determine a divergence point for starting a timer. In addition, a second simulation may be run using the log data and the software to control a second simulated vehicle. The divergence point may be used to determine a handover time to allow the software to take control of the second simulated vehicle. Whether the software is able to continue through the first simulation before the timer expires without a particular type of event occurring and/or the second simulation without the particular type of event occurring is determined.
