Determining a sequence for providing a notification regarding activity recorded by a camera is described. In one aspect, a priority sequence for can be determined based on a variety of characteristics of the available devices registered with the home security system of the camera.

An example portable heating device includes a container, one or more heating elements, an electronic device, one or more temperature sensors, a controller, a power supply, and a power supply controller. The one or more heating elements are in thermal contact with the container. The electronic device is configured to receive a user input selecting a target temperature to heat a substance in the container to and to display the target temperature. The controller is configured to cause the one or more heating elements to heat the substance to the target temperature in response to determining the current temperature of the substance measured by the one or more temperature sensors is less than the target temperature. The power supply is configured to provide power to the one or more heating elements, the electronic device, the one or more temperature sensors, and the controller.

Use of multiple sensors to determine whether motion of an object is occurring in an area is described. In one aspect, an infrared (IR) sensor can be supplemented with a radar sensor to determine whether the determined motion of an object is not a false positive.

A medical fluid delivery system including remote machine updating and control is disclosed. An example medical fluid delivery system includes a medical fluid delivery device for a patient. The medical fluid delivery system also includes a server in communication with the medical fluid delivery device and a software application for a mobile device. The software application causes an icon to be displayed representing the medical fluid delivery device. The medical fluid delivery system further includes a first communication link between the medical fluid delivery device and the server, and a second communication link between the server and the software application. The software application receives status updates from the medical fluid delivery device via the server and the first and second links.

Adjusting communication channels used by camera to communicate with a base station are described. In one aspect, characteristics of communication channels can be determined and the operation of the camera can be adjusted to use a communication channel based on a comparison of the characteristics of multiple communication channels.

A wireless communication tape, dispenser of the same and methods of usage of the wireless tape and the dispenser in asset tracking applications are disclosed. The wireless communication tape can be manufactured in an ultrathin form factor by laminating a stack of layers to impart functionality to the wireless communication tape. Methods of use and operation of the wireless communication tape are disclosed to save battery resources of the communication tape.

An employee time-monitoring system includes a computing device and a number of cameras in electrical communication with the computing device. The cameras may be installed at various locations of a workplace, e.g., at entrances and exits to the work facility, at employee workstations, and at breakrooms and at other common areas. In some embodiments, the computing device is configured to analyze data associated with photographs/videos recorded from the cameras in order to determine via facial recognition whether the data recorded from the cameras substantially matches data associated with a specific employee. In this manner, the employee time-monitoring system can automatically record a time of clock-in or clock-out of the employee that has been recognized via facial recognition. Advantageously, the system can automatically determine whether an employee is beginning a shift, ending a shift, visiting for nonwork related purposes, or taking a break, and can send the employee SMS break reminders.

Various arrangements for handling a potential security situation using a home automation system are presented. A biometric measurement of a user may be received. The biometric measurement of the user may exceed a defined threshold value for the biometric measurement. A security alert from a home automation device in wireless communication with the home automation host system may be received. If the biometric measurement is associated with the security alert, a security response action may be performed.

Provided is a setting method of a Wi-Fi doorbell (2), in which a Wi-Fi doorbell (2) comprising a camera capable of reading a two-dimensional code and a mobile communication terminal (4) comprising a display unit (6) capable of displaying the two-dimensional code are used. The setting method comprises steps of causing the display unit (6) to display a two-dimensional code in which password information for enabling the Wi-Fi doorbell (2) to connect to a network (5) via a Wi-Fi router (20) is embedded reading the two-dimensional code by the camera (9) of the Wi-Fi doorbell (2); and setting the Wi-Fi doorbell (2) to a state where the Wi-Fi doorbell (2) can perform communication with a remotely disposed server (3) via the Wi-Fi router (20), based on the read two-dimensional code.

The health support system according to a preferred embodiment includes a sensor that outputs an output signal corresponding to a specific component in urine, a transmitter connected to the sensor, and a user terminal carried by the user. The user terminal includes a storage unit that stores an identifier corresponding to the user, a wireless receiving unit that receives a wireless signal from the transmitter, an output unit that outputs the data to an analysis system that analyzes the health state of the user based on a specific component indicated by the data when the identifier indicated by the wireless signal matches the identifier stored in the storage unit, and an acquisition unit that acquires information corresponding to the results of the analysis of the analysis system.
