    Abstract: A public addressing system can identify user preferences including language, volume, and method of delivery to provide improved content in a given geographical area using perceptual computing techniques. The system can also support the use of personal devices including wearables in order to deliver private personalized messages discreetly. For example, one embodiment of a public announcement system gathers and aggregates demographic data of a population in a public place. The public announcement system creates inferences from this data to predict content delivery preferences, such as a sequence of languages or delivery characteristics (e.g., speech rate, content and volume). The delivery preferences can be ranked and then a recommendation for a public announcement provided.

    Abstract: A point-of-sale device (“POS”) is described to include a secure transaction tunnel generator (“STG”). The STG may generate secure tunnels between peripherals attached to the POS and remote network resources. The secure tunnel may be generated using a trusted execution environment (“TEE”) of the POS. The STG may be alerted to the need to generate the secure tunnel based on an alert from the peripheral. The STG may execute under a protected environment and may generate two ends of a secure transaction tunnel using the TEE. The STG may also check the peripheral against whitelists and/or blacklists to determine whether the peripheral is allowed or not disallowed to participate in secure transactions. By generating the secure tunnel, the STG may facilitate performance of transactions in such a way that sensitive information is not available to unsecured processes in the POS. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to dynamically manage input/output (I/O) transactions. An example apparatus includes circuitry to determine at least one of a first parameter assigned to an VO transaction by a user, a second parameter for the I/O transaction based on at least a class of an I/O device, or a third parameter for the I/O transaction based on a usage pattern for a compute device coupled to the I/O device. Additionally, the example apparatus includes parameter management circuitry to determine a dynamic parameter to assign to the I/O transaction based on at least one of the first parameter, the second parameter, or the third parameter and cause scheduler circuitry to at least one of adjust a default bandwidth to be allocated to the I/O transaction based on the dynamic parameter or adjust a latency associated with the I/O transaction based on the dynamic parameter.
