Methods and systems are provided for delivering location-based services. Data defining a plurality of geofences and categories relating to points of interest is stored. A current location of a user device is monitored, and is compared with each of the plurality of geofences. Based on the comparison, the user device is determined to be within a geofence associated with one or more points of interest. One or more particular points of interest are identified from among those associated with the geofence based on a user-selected category. Links associated with the particular points of interest are output at an interface of the user device, wherein a selection of a particular link directs a web browser of the user device to a web resource associated with at least one of the particular points of interest.

A method for providing incentives based on geolocation of mobile devices is discussed. The method includes determining a first location of a mobile device based on IP address, GPS signals, Wi-Fi signals, and/or cellular signals. The method includes communicating with a server to obtain first merchant data, for a first geofence for the first location, which is accessed to obtain a first merchant subset. The method includes displaying an interactive map interface, on the mobile device, indicating icons for the first merchant subset. The method includes determining an area of interest, based on a user input, which is used by communicating with a server to obtain second merchant data for a second geofence. The second merchant data is accessed to obtain a second subset of merchants for the second geofence. The method includes displaying, on user interface, icons associated with the second subset of merchants.

A method and system for presenting location information on mobile devices is discussed. The method includes tracking, at a device associated with a user, mobile locations of mobile devices associated with the user, the mobile locations based on server data received from a location server. The method includes displaying an interactive map via a User Interface (UI) on a device display of the device, where the interactive map can indicate mobile locations with respect to names of physical locations. The method includes displaying a control element, on the UI, for receiving a user selection to control a first mobile device of the one or more mobile devices. The method also includes communicating, based on receiving the user selection, with the location server to remotely control the first mobile device.

There is provided an eyeglasses-type wearable terminal that causes a user to more reliably recognize the position of a predetermined object, which includes an image capturing unit that captures the periphery of the user. The eyeglasses-type wearable terminal also includes a determiner that determines whether a predetermined target object is included in a video acquired by image capturing using the image capturing unit. The eyeglasses-type wearable terminal further includes a display unit that displays the position of the predetermined target object in a case in which the determiner determines that the predetermined target object is included.

A system for detecting the presence of an occupant in a child seat is provided. The system includes at least two sensor modules positioned to detect acceleration of the child seat. The sensor modules provide signals representative of the acceleration detected at the first and send sensor modules to a controller. The controller includes signal processing circuitry for processing the signal to determine whether the signals received from the sensor modules are representative of the physiological motion of the occupant. The controller processes the signals received from the sensor modules to isolate acceleration of the child seat from the motion of the vehicle.

A system for monitoring the movements or other activities of patient. Aspects include a monitoring device with one or more sensors such as a pressure or motion sensors that may be positioned on or near a patient. Alerts may be generated by the monitoring device if the sensor readings fall outside predetermined limits set in a patient profile specific to a particular patient. Sensor readings and/or alerts may be sent by the monitoring device to the central server which may notify nearby caregivers that a patient needs assistance. The server may be configured to analyze sensor readings and alert information to refine patient profiles to reduce or eliminate false alarms.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method including assessing a danger level associated with an object; locating a target person and a caregiver; monitoring movement of an unsupervised target person relative to a boundary around the object; and providing a warning in a caregiver's voice if the person crosses the boundary. A content and volume of the warning, a direction of the warning with respect to a trajectory of movement of the person, and a tone of voice of the warning can be selected according to the danger level and a profile of the person. The method also includes initiating a distraction procedure directed to the person according to the profile; the distraction can include an audio message directing attention of the person to another object. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method for detecting allergic reaction and alerting a guardian device includes registering a wearable device to associate the wearable device with the guardian device. The wearable device then monitors vital signs to determine whether the vital signs are within an acceptable range. Based on the vital signs being outside the acceptable range, the wearable device sends an alert to the guardian device and determines whether a confirmation signal is received from the guardian device.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for securing property are presented. Video content viewed by a user may be detected, and the user may be automatically prompted to change settings on a security system based on the detecting. A comparison of the current time with the duration of the video content may serve as the basis for such prompting. Additionally, a premise security system may be placed in a learning mode. Changes in position of a security sensor may be detected and used to set a permitted range of motion for the sensor. Further, a plurality of security sensor profiles may be stored, and each profile may identify a different predefined permitted range of motion of a sensor. The addition of a new sensor to a premise may be detected, and a user may be prompted, on a display, to identify a profile to be used for the new sensor.

Implementations of a child safety system is provided. Implementations of a child safety system comprises portable transmitter configured to transmits a wireless signal compatible with Bluetooth technology and a portable computing device configured to receive the wireless signal and compute a distance between the portable computing device and the transmitter based on the signal strength of the wireless signal received. The portable computing device further is configured to sound an alarm on the portable computing device once the distance between the portable computing device and the portable transmitter equals or exceeds a preset distance.
