Abstract: In server/client architectures, the server application and client applications are often developed in different languages and execute in different environments specialized for the different contexts of each application (e.g., low-level, performant, platform-specialized, and stateless instructions on the server, and high-level, flexible, platform-agnostic, and stateful languages on the client) and are often executed on different devices. Convergence of these environments (e.g., server-side JavaScript using Node.js) enables the provision of a server that services client applications executing on the same device. The local server may monitor local events occurring on the device, and may execute one or more server scripts associated with particular local events on behalf of local clients subscribing to the local event (e.g., via a subscription model). These techniques may enable development of local event services in the same language and environment as client applications, and the use of server-side code in the provision of local event service.

Abstract translation: 在服务器/客户端体系结构中，服务器应用程序和客户端应用程序通常以不同的语言开发，并在不同的环境中执行，专门针对每个应用程序的不同上下文（例如，服务器上的低级别，性能，平台专用和无状态指令 ，以及客户端上的高级，灵活，平台不可知和有状态的语言），并且通常在不同的设备上执行。 这些环境的融合（例如，使用Node.js的服务器端JavaScript）能够提供服务器，该服务器为在同一设备上执行的客户端应用程序提供服务。 本地服务器可以监视设备上发生的本地事件，并且可以代表订阅本地事件的本地客户端（例如，经由订阅模型）执行与特定本地事件相关联的一个或多个服务器脚本。 这些技术可以实现与客户端应用程序相同的语言和环境中的本地事件服务的开发，以及在提供本地事件服务时使用服务器端代码。

Abstract: Positional information is provided while minimizing the possibility that personally identifiable information can be derived therefrom. Positional information is received in the form of trails that can be aggregated. Individual cells of a grid reflect a quantity of aggregated trails through those cells, an average intensity and direction of movement through those cells, or a more detailed distribution thereof. Alternatively, individual trails are aggregated to an aggregated trail in the form of a line. Further obfuscation of personally identifiable information occurs by resampling aggregated positional information, by introducing false positional information, or by falsely modifying existing positional information, in a manner that does not impact the overall aggregations, and by pruning, or deleting, positional information, especially around sensitive locations, such as a user's home, place of business, or other location that users typically would seek to keep private. Provision of positional information is delayed until a sufficient amount is received.

Abstract: A sequence of events may be planned by drawing on knowledge of existing sequences of events, and combining those events in accordance with a set of constraints. In one example, the sequences of events are events in a social agenda, such as dinner, drinks, movie, etc. Actual social agendas that users have carried out are monitored (with the users' permission), and these events are stored in a database. A sequence of events may be referred to as an existing path. Using the database, a system can respond to a query such as "plan an evening in Seattle," or "plan an evening in that includes a movie" by querying the database to determine what sequences have already happened, and either retrieving an existing sequence or synthesizing a new one from existing sequences.

Abstract translation: 可以通过利用现有事件序列的知识来计划事件序列，并且根据一组约束来组合这些事件。 在一个例子中，事件序列是社会议程中的事件，例如晚餐，饮料，电影等。用户执行的实际社会议程被监视（经用户许可），并且这些事件被存储在 数据库。 事件序列可以被称为现有路径。 使用数据库，系统可以通过查询数据库来确定已经发生了什么序列，并且检索现有的序列来响应查询，例如“在西雅图计划一个晚上”或“计划包含电影的晚上” 或从现有序列合成新的。

Abstract: Providing directions from point A to point B may be treated as an information retrieval problem. In one example, actual routes that are traveled by people are received, and are stored in a database. When a person requests directions from point A to point B, a system searches the database to determine whether a route from A to B exists. If the route does exist, then the route may be provided as directions in response to the request. If no such route exists, then the system looks in the database for routes that have some amount of overlap with each other, and attempts to construct a route from A to B by joining known routes that overlap with each other. Rules may govern the degree of overlap that routes are to have before they can be joined.

Abstract translation: 提供从点A到点B的指示可以被视为信息检索问题。 在一个示例中，接收到由人行进的实际路由，并存储在数据库中。 当一个人请求从点A到点B的指示时，系统搜索数据库以确定是否存在从A到B的路由。 如果路由确实存在，则可以根据请求将路由提供为方向。 如果不存在这样的路由，则系统在数据库中查找具有一定数量的重叠的路由，并尝试通过加入彼此重叠的已知路由来构建从A到B的路由。 规则可以管理路由在加入之前拥有的重叠程度。

Abstract: Audio data associated with a plurality of originating sources is obtained, the audio data directed to a participant entity. An originating entity associated with one of the originating sources is determined. A listener focus indication is obtained from the participant entity indicating a listener focus on the originating entity. A spatial positional relationship is determined between the participant and originating entities. A filtering operation is initiated to enhance a portion of the audio data associated with the originating entity, the portion enhanced relative to another portion of the audio data that is associated with the originating sources other than the first one. A spatialization of a stream of the first portion that is based on a participant positional listening perspective is initiated, based on the spatial positional relationship. Transmission of a spatial stream of audio data is initiated to the participant entity, based on the filtering operation and spatialization.
