A product purchase system may include a product retrieval robot for a physical store and a mobile wireless communications device associated with a given user and configured to obtain product identifying data for a given product for purchase in the physical store. The given product for purchase may be placed by the given user into a physical shopping cart. The system may also include a server configured to identify the given product for purchase based upon the product identifying data, and determine an add-on product associated with the given product for purchase and located in the physical store. The product retrieval robot may be configured to cooperate with the server to retrieve the add-on product from the physical store and deliver the add-on product to the physical shopping cart.

A method of enrolling in an authentication system may include obtaining biometric data of a user, and generating a biometric template vector using the biometric data. The enrolling method may also include encrypting the biometric template vector, and embedding the encrypted biometric template vector into a computer-scannable medium. An additional method of verification via an authentication system may include obtaining an encrypted and encoded form of a biometric template vector associated with a user. The verification method may also include decoding the biometric template vector, and obtaining biometric data of the user of a same form used to create the biometric template vector. The verification method may additionally include determining a similarity score between the decoded biometric template vector and the biometric data, and performing an action based on the similarity score.

The vehicular cigarette battery charger using resonant inductive coupling is a power distribution device. The vehicular cigarette battery charger using resonant inductive coupling is configured for use with a personal data device. The vehicular cigarette battery charger using resonant inductive coupling is configured for use with a vehicle. Specifically, the vehicular cigarette battery charger using resonant inductive coupling forms an electrical connection with the battery of the electric system of the vehicle. The vehicular cigarette battery charger using resonant inductive coupling comprises an inductive charging system. The resonant charging system receives electric energy from the vehicle battery and transmits the electrical energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation to the personal data device. The personal data device converts the energy received from the electromagnetic radiation into a chemical potential energy that is stored in the battery of the personal data device.

Aspects of the present disclosure include methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media for receiving a magnetic signal from a magnetic signal transmitter, determining a strength of the magnetic signal at the security tag, receiving a radio frequency identification (RFID) interrogatory signal from a RFID scanner, and transmitting a RFID response signal, to the RFID scanner, indicating the strength of the magnetic signal.

A system and method for identifying and authenticating a physical article to a virtual environment. A physical article, such as a decorative pin used in gameplay or some purchased article with anti-counterfeiting tag information, may be scanned by a mobile device and verified by a mobile device application. Such a process may uniquely identify a product as being associated with one particular customer, which may limit counterfeiting and may also allow the article to be incorporated in some form into a game or other virtual environment, such as in the form of an accessory for a game character.

A method can include sending, via a processing device, a signal to at least two of a plurality of location indicators from an autonomous vehicle in motion and transporting equipment or passengers. The method can further include receiving signals from the at least two location indicators. The method can further include determining a location of the autonomous vehicle within an indoor facility based on the received signals. The method can further include comparing the determined location to a corresponding pre-determined location. The method can further include, in response to the determined location being different than the pre-determined location, adjusting a direction of the autonomous vehicle along a predetermined path within the indoor facility.

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to a wireless identification tag with varying ID transmission timing, and system and methods for use thereof. In one implementation, the tag may include at least one transmitter and an energy storage component electrically connected to the at least one transmitter. The energy storage component may be configured to collect and store ambient energy and to power transmission of the at least one transmitter. The tag may also include at least one circuit. The at least one circuit may be configured to cause the at least one transmitter to transmit a sequence of identification signals in non-uniform intervals such that times between identification signal transmissions of three consecutive transmissions vary.

A mouse pad includes a mat part having a fixation portion and a 3D decorative object removably fixed on the fixation portion.

A system and method for tracking marine equipment is provided. Generally, the system and method of the present disclosure are designed to generate indicia corresponding to the inventory level of marine equipment used for a particular marine activity. To facilitate the assignment of indicia reflecting the inventory level of marine equipment used for a marine activity, the system and method of the present disclosure uses a plurality of equipment profiles having a defined lower limit and quantity associated with each piece of marine equipment. The lower limit may be manually input or automatically generated. The quantity may be tracked by the system using equipment transmitters and equipment sensors. In a preferred embodiment, the indicia indicate whether the quantity of a piece of marine equipment has fallen below a certain specified level as defined by the user. Users may purchase new marine equipment from third-party retailers via the user interface.
