Aspects of the invention are directed towards a system and a method for activating a privacy status of a lock. One or more embodiments of the invention describe the method comprising steps of capturing activity information of a user by a user device. The method also describes steps of analyzing the captured activity information and determining a busy status of the user based on the analysis. The method further describes steps of transmitting the busy status of the user to a lock for activating a privacy status of the lock.

The present invention relates to an AI-based voice ordering system and a method therefor and provides a voice ordering method and system, the voice ordering method comprising: a first step of an ordering smart terminal standing by for voice data reception; a second step of the ordering smart terminal analyzing whether an input signal has been received by an input unit corresponding to a microphone activation button; and a third step of, if the analysis result indicates that an input signal has not been received, returning to the first step and, conversely, if an input signal has been received, the ordering smart terminal receiving a voice signal from a microphone, converting the voice signal into voice data of a preset format, and then transmitting the converted voice data to a voice ordering server via a host terminal connected to a network, so that analysis of text data is performed.

The present invention is a method for developing and providing a personalized distilled spirit, or other beverage, to a user who responds to a collection of stimulus in the form of taste samples, smell samples, written, and/or visual representations. The user's responses to the stimulus may be compared to expert responses in a database to create a recommended recipe resulting in one or more customized product samples being either physical products or written/visual responses in the form of tasting notes or a flavor map, for example. The user can then modify their customized spirit, repeating the process as many times as they wish and then submit for the production and purchase of the recipe based on an array of spirits or other beverages that is then combined using a blending machine.

A reservation and tracking system has a central computer that enables a reservation by a customer, and tracking his or her location to determine if the reservation is going to be honored or needs to be cancelled or rescheduled. The reservation system program performs the steps of: sending a reservation reminder to the customer before the reservation; receiving either a confirmation or a cancellation of the reservation; updating the database to reflect either the confirmation or the cancellation; tracking, if authorized by the customer, the location of the customer, via the tracking system; determining if the customer is on track to arrive at the restaurant at the time of the reservation, and if not, contacting the customer to determine if they would like to cancel or reschedule the reservation; and updating the database to confirm the reservation when the customer arrives at the restaurant at the time of the reservation.

An e-commerce based transaction system on a network connected via the Internet to multiple remote computers and mobile phones providing the distribution of hotel room lodging reservations or other lodging sites for location and date of specific events. A central database is hosted on a server and transmitted to individual remote servers or users that can have a respective database of listings from individual brokers oration or other system participants. In the alternative, the blockchain can be a mode of information dissemination. E-commerce transactions are conducted by the system, which performs a number of transaction-related functions, such as posting available hotel room reservations or lodging site reservations for sale, and purchasing spaces for use, resale, brokerage or pure speculation online. The system and methodology accommodate location-based events where hotel rooms are listed by brokers or hotel operators or owners and sold to individual system users and marketed reflective of and in advance of specific time and location sensitive events.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for status monitoring using machine vision and machine learning. In some implementations, image data representing a monitored area is obtained. Input data based on the image data is provided to one or more machine learning models trained to detect different properties of the monitored area. Output of the one or more machine learning models is received. The output of the one or more machine learning models is evaluated to detect a condition present in the monitored area. Output is provided indicating the detected condition present in the monitored area.
