An example method of managing on-premises software executing in a data center includes: probing, by a connectivity agent executing in the data center, connectivity between a cloud service executing in a public cloud and the data center; storing, by the connectivity agent, probe results in a connectivity store of the data center; reading, by connectivity sensing logic in the on-premises software, a current probe result from the connectivity store; and providing, by the on-premises software to a user, functionality based on the current probe result.

Systems and methods for generating and facilitating access to a personalized augmented rendering of a user to be presented in an augmented reality environment are discussed herein. The augmented rendering of a user may be personalized by the user to comprise a desired representation of the user in an augmented reality environment. When a second user is detected within the field of view of a first user, the second user may be identified and virtual content (e.g., an augmented rendering) for the second user may be obtained. The virtual content obtained may differ based on one or more subscriptions of the first user and/or permissions associated with the virtual content of the second user. The virtual content obtained may be rendered and appear superimposed over or in conjunction with a view of the second in the augmented reality environment.

A method for issuing digital credentials includes assigning a digital credential to a user account maintained by the digital content delivery system; receiving, from a mobile computing device associated with the user account, a first request for the digital credential; in response to receiving the first request: determining whether a current location of the mobile computing device is within a predetermined geographic distance of the selected exhibitor location, and determining whether a remaining amount of time until a scheduled start time of the selected scheduled presentation is less than a threshold amount of time; and in response to determining that either the current location of the mobile computing device is outside of the predetermined geographic distance of the selected exhibitor location or the remaining amount of time until the scheduled start time of the selected scheduled presentation is greater than the threshold amount of time, denying the first request.

Systems and methods are described for applying digital rights management techniques to tethered devices. In one embodiment, a host device is operable to translate a relatively sophisticated license into a simpler format for use on a relatively low-capability device. In another embodiment, a method of using extended SCSI commands to communicate over a USB connection is provided.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for enhancing standard authentication systems to include risk-based decisions. Risk-based decisions can be selectively implemented within existing authentication systems to strategically modify and supplement security if an unacceptable risk is detected. Embodiments capture information pertaining to a user and user device. Information is stored to create a profile for the user and user device. A comparison between the stored information and live data can be performed within authentication systems to optimize security. If the results of the comparison demonstrate the presence of an acceptable risk, then the need for subsequent authentication can be reduced or eliminated, which improves a user experience.

In some embodiments, the present invention provides for an exemplary inventive system that includes at least the following components: an electronic control unit having a service oriented architecture (SOA ECU), where the SOA ECU includes: at least one exemplary inventive SOA server; where the SOA ECU is located within a vehicle; where the at least one SOA server is configured to provide at least one service to at least one client ECU that is located within the vehicle; and where the at least one SOA server is configured to assign at least one dedicated processing resource and at least one dedicated memory resource to provide the at least one service.

Techniques are disclosed relating to monitoring computer system activity. In some embodiments, a computing device receives information from observation instrumentation that monitors a plurality of observation points in a computer system. The information includes information identifying activities occurring in the computer system and observed by the observation instrumentation. The computing device determines, from the received information, a risk profile associated with the computer system and, based on the risk profile, adjusts how the observation instrumentation monitors the plurality of observation points. In some embodiments, the received information includes information about one or more user activity risk factors, system risk factors, application risk factors, contact risk factors and/or enterprise risk factors. In some embodiments, based on the risk profile, the computing device causes a control action to be taken with respect to one or more components in the computer system.

A method of providing localization of content to a client includes accessing content from at least one of: a video, movie, media from a display venue, and media from any public place where a movie or video. A private or public 0-Cinema setup is provided. At least one of: (i) addition of a GPS receiver in a server security manager; addition of a playback authorization license file into the server security manager; and addition of a secured operating workflow is provided. Localization of content at a client selected location is provided.

Digital rights management using geographic and temporal traits is described. In one or more implementations, a digital medium environment is configured to control access to at least on item of content by digital rights management functionality embedded as part of the content. Data is collected describing geographical traits of a location or temporal traits associated with a request received from the user to access the content. A determination is made from the data using a digital rights management module embedded as part of the content as to whether the geographical or temporal traits meet specified traits of a geographical behavior of a digital rights management policy enforced by the digital rights management module for the at least one item of the content. Responsive to a determination that the specified traits are met, access is permitted to the least one item of the content by the embedded digital rights management module.
