In emergency or search-and-rescue operations, user devices such as phones may transmit signals that indicate people may be located nearby. The signals can be detected by one or more rover devices, which can explore dangerous terrain for indications of people to be rescued. The user devices can activate an application that conserves battery power while emitting a signal, in some cases in a round robin configuration to further conserve power. The rover devices, or other devices that make contact with the user devices, can collect and manipulate data about the user devices to aid a rescue operation.

A method of operating an emergency services system entity is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by the emergency services system entity, data from a plurality of data sources; determining that a vehicle collision occurred based on the received data; determining a vehicle collision location; and sending a tow truck dispatch request to a plurality of tow truck dispatch systems in response to determining that a vehicle collision occurred, where the request includes the vehicle collision location.

The control apparatus includes a controller configured to acquire time slot data indicating an available time slot at a place that provides a service, and generate announcement data announcing a proposal to take a user to the place using a vehicle should the user reserve the time slot indicated by the time slot data, and a communication interface configured to transmit the announcement data generated by the controller to a terminal apparatus configured to present content of data to the user.

A computer device comprises a display and a processor. The processor is configured to: intercept information sent from an application, to be displayed on the display; identify an information entity in the intercepted information, comprised in a predefined set of information entity types; reformat appearance of the identified information entity to be displayed on the display; forward the intercepted information including the reformatted appearance of the identified information entity to be displayed on the display. The display is configured to: present the identified information entity with the reformatted appearance to the user of the computer device. Also a corresponding method is disclosed.

A method and system comprising an adaptive learning platform having a backend component for managing 3D lessons for display on an interface of a user device. A 3D lesson comprises a plurality of scenarios with choices which lead to a next scenario of the 3D lesson. A learner after completing the 3D lesson can analyze results of a completed 3D lesson using an analyzer unit of the adaptive learning platform. In addition, the platform also recommends other 3D lessons based on analytics performed on the learner user's results.

Methods and systems for controlling production resources in a supply chain are described. The system automatically generates predicted supply chain operational metrics across a nodes of a supply chain. The system automatically infers causal factors that impact the predicted supply chain operational metrics. The causal factors include a change to a utilization of the production resource. The system communicates a user interface including production runs being scheduled on the production resource including a user interface element representing the scheduling of the production run associated with a value at risk. The system receives input causing a change to the utilization of the production resource. The change to the utilization of the production resource impacts the predicted supply chain operational metrics including the value at risk associated with the scheduling of the production run.

Disclosed are techniques for performing positioning operations. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) transmits, to a positioning entity, a request for positioning assistance data message, the request for positioning assistance data message identifying a serving cell of the UE and one or more neighboring cells of the UE with which the UE is attempting to perform a positioning procedure, and receives, from the positioning entity, a positioning assistance data message in response to the request.
