Systems and methods for augmenting a dedicated payment instrument to leverage built-in access to real-time support from a central system are provided. Methods may be executed via computer-executable instructions that are stored in a non-transitory memory of the instrument and run on a microprocessor embedded in the instrument. Methods may include receiving a request from a user of the instrument, via one or more sensors, to initiate a support session. The sensors may include a camera, a microphone, and/or a tactile sensor. Methods may include transmitting the request to the central system via a wireless communication element, and receiving, from the central system, support session data. Methods may also include displaying, on a display screen, information based on the support session data.

A method of presenting appropriate actions for responding to a visitor to a smart home environment via an electronic greeting system of the smart home environment, including detecting a visitor of the smart home environment; obtaining context information from the smart home environment regarding the visitor; based on the context information, identifying a plurality of appropriate actions available to a user of a client device for interacting with the visitor via the electronic greeting system; and causing the identified actions to be presented to the user of the client device.

Embodiments of this application provide a method for transmitting a video picture, a device for sending a video picture, and a video call method and device, where the video picture includes a plurality of video frames. According to the method for transmitting a video picture, the plurality of video frames are encoded to obtain an encoded bitstream, where the bitstream includes at least information indicating inter-frame reference relationships. In this application, each of N frames preceding to a current frame references a forward LTR frame that has a shortest temporal distance to each of the preceding N frames, and the forward LTR frame is an encoded video frame marked by a transmit end device as an LTR frame.

Method for generating haptic feedback responses starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first user interface and on a second user interface. Processor detects first touch input on first user interface. Processor causes second user interface to display first indicator element at location on second user interface of second client device corresponding to location of first touch input on first user interface. First indicator element is displayed for a predetermined period of time. Processor detects second touch input on second user interface. In response to determining that location of the second touch input on second user interface corresponds to location of first indicator on second user interface and determining that second touch input on second user interface is detected within predetermined period of time, processor causes first user interface and second user interface to generate haptic feedback response. Other embodiments are described herein.

Method for generating haptic feedback responses starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first user interface and on a second user interface. Processor detects first touch input on first user interface and second touch input on second user interface. Processor monitors location of the first touch input on the first user interface and location of the second touch input on the second user interface. Processor determines distance between location of first touch input on first user interface and location on first user interface corresponding to location of second touch input on second user interface. Processor causes the first user interface and the second user interface to generate a haptic feedback response based on the distance. The haptic feedback response increases in intensity or speed as the distance decreases and decreases in intensity or speed as the distance increases. Other embodiments are described herein.

A virtual interview system including at least one job candidate device and at least one organization device in operable communication with a network. An application system is in operable communication with the network to transmit a plurality of questions to a user interface of the job candidate device. An artificial intelligence engine analyzes each response to the plurality of questions and assigns a point value based on the response, wherein each point value for each of the plurality of questions is totaled to determine if a threshold value is reached. The threshold value determines if the job candidate is permitted to schedule a virtual interview.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for improving quality of a remote therapy session. A method includes capturing, using a computing device, video data associated with a remote therapy session between a patient device and a clinician device, applying, using the computing device, one or more machine learning algorithms to the captured video data to detect a quality issue associated with the remote therapy session, the quality issue related to one of i) a field of view associated with the video data, ii) a luminance associated with the video data, and iii) a contrast associated with the video data, and performing, using the computing device, a remedial action to address the detected quality issue in the video data.

Systems and methods of the present disclosure include receiving, with a processor of the first user device, a first image from a first camera, receiving, with the processor, a first live video stream from a network location, generating, with the processor, a live image in real time, by superimposing a portion of the first live video stream received from the network location on to the first image received from the first camera, and displaying, with the processor, the generated live image.

A method of presenting appropriate actions for responding to a visitor to a smart home environment via an electronic greeting system of the smart home environment, including detecting a visitor of the smart home environment; obtaining context information from the smart home environment regarding the visitor; based on the context information, identifying a plurality of appropriate actions available to a user of a client device for interacting with the visitor via the electronic greeting system; and causing the identified actions to be presented to the user of the client device.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for including a video feed in a message thread. The program and method provide for determining that a message thread is being concurrently displayed on a first device associated with a first user and on a second device associated with a second user, the first user and the second user corresponding to contacts within a messaging application; and transmitting, in response to the determining, image data captured on the first device to the second device, for display within the message thread on the second device.
