The purpose of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for managing baggage and a method for managing baggage with which improved usability can be obtained. In order to solve the problem, an apparatus for managing baggage is provided with: a reader unit which reads tag information of a wireless tag attached to a baggage; a storage unit in which the tag information read by the reader unit is stored; and a control unit which makes a determination of a forgotten baggage by comparing the tag information stored in the storage unit with tag information newly read by the reader unit.

An exemplary system, method, and computer-accessible medium can include, for example, storing on a first device a digital tag, the tag configured to be associated with at least one application on a second device, such that receipt of the tag on the second device launches the application on the second device; and emitting from the first device to a second device the digital tag; wherein the application on the second device is configured to launch in a special state when the second device is in at least one state from a pre-determined list of states.

Disclosed are a display apparatus and a controlling method thereof. The display apparatus includes a communicator including a circuitry; a display; a motor configured to rotate the display; a memory storing at least one instruction; and a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to: control the communicator to communicatively connect to an external device based on information related to the display apparatus that is received by the external device from a remote controller to which the external device is tagged, obtain direction information of at least one of the external device and of an image content displayed on the external device, determine, based on the direction information, whether to control the motor to rotate the display, and control the display to display the image content that is received from the external device through the communicator.

A method includes receiving, at a first device, an option to receive a video identified by a second device, the option received during a communication session between the first device and the second device. The method includes receiving, at the first device, input indicating acceptance of the offer. The method includes, in response to the input, automatically making a determination, at the first device, whether to have the video sent to a video output device that is distinct from the first device, to receive the video at the first device, or both. The determination is based on a location of the first device. The method also includes, in response to the determination indicating to have the video sent to the video output device, sending a notification to the application server. The notification identifies the video output device.

Systems and methods for reducing distracted driving are disclosed herein. A mobile device may receive one or more beacon signals emitted from one or more beacons located at different locations within a vehicle. The mobile device determines whether the mobile device is located within the vehicle. The mobile device disables one or more functions of the mobile device if determined to be in the vehicle. The mobile device then determines whether to re-enable at least one of the disabled functions.

An image recording apparatus includes: a first communication interface configured to perform communication according to a first communication standard; a second communication interface configured to perform communication according to a second communication standard that is different from the first communication standard and that is a wireless communication standard; an image recorder; and a controller. The controller receives image data and first identification information from an image-data output device via the first 02-19 communication interface. The controller broadcasts the received first identification information via the second communication interface.

The invention relates to systems and methods to enable a mobile device to be used as a remote control, in order to control one or more remotely controllable objects. In possible embodiments of the invention, proximity-based (or other) remote controls include control authorization to enable the transfer or sharing of control between different remote controls being implemented on different mobile devices, in order to permit different users to transfer or share control of a same remotely controllable object, for example. In other possible embodiments of the invention, a proximity-based (or other) remote control uses control authentication to enable the pairing of a remote control implemented on a device and a remotely controllable object, for example. Various embodiments of control authority and control authentication are possible and anticipated by the invention to address a wide range of practical remote control applications and provide many benefits to users.

Provided are a communication authentication apparatus and a communication system that enable authentication for easily and safely connecting a communication device to an access point, and improvement of convenience and safety by appropriately controlling communication with the communication device. The communication authentication apparatus (10) for performing authentication for connecting the communication device (20) to the access point (40) of a wireless LAN includes an NFC unit (12) having a function of authentication by performing communication using NFC with the communication device (20) by proximity or contact with the communication device (20), and a power supply circuit (13). When the power supply circuit (13) is in a completely power-off state or a power-saving state, the communication authentication apparatus (10) controls to start up the power supply circuit (13) from the complete power-off state or the power-saving state in response to communication with the communication device (20) in the NFC unit (12).

A smart phone comprises an NFC antenna and a signal-send unit that communicates with the NFC antenna. The smart phone further comprises an NFC tag containing identification information. The smart phone is configured so that the signal-send unit transmits identification information to an ECU mounted within a vehicle, allowing remote control of the vehicle. The transmitted signals sent by the smart phone are encrypted by a third party.

Various embodiments relate to an electronic device. The electronic device may include: a housing including a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction opposite the first direction; a first display viewable through the first surface; a battery disposed between the first display and the second surface; a second display having a size smaller than a size of the first display and viewable through a partial area of the second surface; a short-distance wireless communication antenna disposed at a lower end of the second display and configured to transmit/receive a short-distance wireless communication signal through the partial area of the second surface and the second display; and a shield disposed at a lower end of the short-distance wireless communication antenna and configured to block transmission/reception of the short-distance wireless communication signal through the first surface.
