The invention relates to an avalanche transceiver, having a transmitting unit for transmitting at least one transmit signal, a receiving unit for receiving at least one transmit signal from at least one further avalanche transceiver, and a control device for controlling at least one loudspeaker. The control device is designed to control the at least one loudspeaker to output at least one voice message on the basis of at least one event. The at least one event is associated with a search for the at least one further avalanche transceiver. The invention further relates to a method for operating such an avalanche transceiver.

Apparatus and methods for enhanced wireless determination of a position and direction of a smart device. Wireless transceivers controlled by the smart device communicate with reference point transceivers to generate data sufficient to determine relative positions of the wireless transceivers and a direction of interest. Operation of one or both of a magnetic force sensor and LIDAR may be operative to verify the position and direction of the Smart Device.

A missing child prevention support system is provided and includes: a grouping part configured to recognize a group of users who are facility users entering a facility and generate user group information indicating a user group; an image acquisition part configured to acquire facility images including images of the users from imaging devices of the facility; a guide control part configured to control an operation of a movable guiding device performing guiding for the users in the facility; a guide grouping specifying part configured to specify the user group of the users for which the guiding device performs the guiding; and a missing child estimation part configured to estimate an unguided user who is a user not belonging to the user group as a potential missing child when the unguided user is shown in the facility images.

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.

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method, and/or computer program product embodiments for tracking proximities of devices and/or objects. In one embodiment, the system operates by determining whether a plurality of devices of a tethered segment are inside or outside a predefined area. The system also operates by determining that a first device of the plurality of devices is outside of the predefined area based at least partially on the determination of whether the plurality of devices are inside or outside the predefined area. The system further operates by transmitting at least one alert notification to at least one device based at least partially on the determination that the first device is outside the predefined area, wherein the alert notification identifies the first device outside the predefined area.

A method for monitoring a patient (22a) within a medical monitoring area (100) by means of a monitoring system (200) with a depth camera device (210). The method includes the following steps: generating a point cloud (30) of the monitoring area (100) with the monitoring system (200); analyzing the point cloud (30) for detecting predefined objects (20), especially persons (22); determining a location of at least one detected object (20) in the monitoring area (100); and comparing the determined location of the at least one detected object (20) with at least one predefined value (40) for the location of this detected object (20).

Systems, methods, and devices for locating items, people, and/or animals are provided. In accordance with some embodiments, locator devices for locating a target device are provided, the locator devices comprising: a first transceiver configured to communicate with a second transceiver in the target device; a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver configured to receive data from a plurality of satellites for calculating a location; a visual indicator; and a hardware processor that: receives signals from the first transceiver; calculates an estimated distance between the locator device and a target device based on the signals; controls whether the GNSS receiver is powered on or off based on the estimated distance; and causes the visual indicator indicate an estimated direction to the target device from the locator device.
