A behavioral analysis device acquires designated location information regarding a location of a place designated in advance. The behavioral analysis device acquires a history of terminal location information regarding a location of terminal, user identification information associated with the terminal location information, and a history of operation information indicating at least one operation behavior taken through at least one terminal operation of a user having the identification information. The behavioral analysis device identifies identification information associated with the terminal location information being substantially the same as the designated location information, and outputs tendency information indicating a tendency of at least one operation behavior taken by a user having the identified identification information and taken before a time when a terminal is located at a location indicated by the terminal location information substantially the same as the designated location information, for distribution of information regarding the place designated in advance.

A method is provided that includes receiving, in a server, a request from a service provider, the request including a consumer identification code associated with a consumer, and obtaining a personalized list of universal product codes based on the consumer identification code and a purchase history log in a database. The method also includes providing the personalized list of universal product codes to the service provider, and receiving a tracking pixel indicative that the consumer has interacted with a consumer payload, wherein the consumer payload is associated with at least one product from the personalized list of universal product codes. A system and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions which cause the system to perform the above method are also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to a method performed in a network server of a service provider providing a service comprising media streaming. The method comprises receiving a detection message from a mobile radio device running the service for a user registered with the service provider, said message comprising an indication that said radio device has detected a radio transmitter as well as comprising an identifier of said radio transmitter. The method also comprises determining that the radio transmitter, as identified by the received identifier, is registered with the service provider and associated with one or more actions. The method also comprises electing an action of the one or more actions. The method also comprises sending an instructions message to the radio device, said message comprising instructions to modify the service such that the radio device performs the elected action.

Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses provide a system that may facilitate communications between drivers who share a route. The system may allow communications to be sent from one driver to another driver and allow drivers to post queries to other drivers sharing a route. Computing devices in the vehicle may collect route data for the system to evaluate and to use in identifying drivers sharing a route.

Data storage and calling methods and devices are provided. One of the methods includes: receiving first motion data and business data; establishing an association relationship between the first motion data and the business data and storing the association relationship; receiving second motion data; and determining first motion data that matches the second motion data, and returning, to a sender of the second motion data, business data associated with the matched first motion data.

Techniques for providing remote messages to mobile devices based on image data and other sensor data are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include one or more servers configured to: receive, from a consumer device via a network, location data indicating a consumer device location of a consumer device; receive, from the consumer device via the network, image data captured by a camera of the consumer device; receive, from the consumer device via the network, orientation data defining an orientation of the camera when the image data was captured, wherein the orientation data is captured by an accelerometer of the consumer device; attempt to extract a merchant identifier from the image based on programmatically processing the image data; determine one or more merchants based on a fuzzy search of available ones of the location data, the merchant identifier, and the orientation data.

An information processing device includes: a server transmitting and receiving unit configured to receive location information indicating a location of a vehicle from an on-board device mounted on the vehicle; and a server control unit configured to when the vehicle is traveling in an area that the vehicle has visited a predetermined number of times or less, extract a facility that faces a first road located within a predetermined range based on the location information and having traffic capacity equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold, wherein the server transmitting and receiving unit is configured to send advertisement information of the facility to the on-board device.

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to automatically determining location of an object. In some embodiments, there is provided a system for automatically determining location of an object inside a retail store via one or more cameras including: a plurality of locations inside a retail store; a first camera capturing a first image of a first location; a portable electronic device configured to transmit a signal used to determine an absolute location of a test object; one or more first receiver circuits configured to receive transmitted first signals from the portable electronic device; and a control circuit configured to: associate a first set of store coordinates of a first coordinate system associated with an entire area inside the retail store with a first set of frame coordinates of a second coordinate system associated with the plurality of cameras; and cause a database to store the association.

A disclosed example includes memory; instructions in the apparatus; and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: monitor for a mobile device communication at a merchant location; obtain a first identifier from the mobile device communication obtained at a first server in response to identifying the mobile device communication during the monitoring; store the first identifier in association with the merchant location in a database; and in response to determining that the first identifier is present in the database, send an association between the first identifier and the merchant location to a second server of an audience measurement entity, the first identifier included in a second communication from the second server of the audience measurement entity.

A system finds and aggregates the most relevant and current information about the people and things that a user cares about. The information gathering is based on current context (e.g., where the user is, what the user is doing, what the user is saying/typing, etc.). The result of the context based information gathering is presented ubiquitously on user interfaces of any of the various physical devices operated by the user.
