Methods and apparatus for implementing an access point supporting multiple communications protocols
Access points can be mounted in a variety of locations or orientations and can support multiple communications protocols. In some embodiments, an access point includes a main housing and a front housing. The main and front housing are connected by a hinge. A Wi-Fi antenna is included in the front housing in some embodiments. The access point is configured for use in either an open or closed position. When mounted in a vertical position, the front housing can be lowered into a horizontal position, which facilitates a preferred orientation of an antenna with respect to the ground. A first set of cooling fins serves to maintain components of the access point offset from a wall to which the access point is mounted. This facilitates airflow. Additional fins act as a spacer between the main housing and the front housing when the access point is used in a closed position. This facilitates air flow around both sides of the main housing.
System and method for proximity based networked mobile communication storing proximity on a database
Communication is established between a plurality of users through mobile computing devices. A server communicates with the mobile computing devices. Unique User Identifiers (UUIDs) are registered on the server through a network, and a database connected to the server stores the uploaded UUIDs and associated data. The server receives and sends communications to and from the mobile computing devices, receives UUIDs and associated data from mobile computing devices, and sends UUIDs and associated data to one or more mobile computing devices.

Disabling/re-enabling head tracking for distracted user of spatial audio application
Embodiments are disclosed for disabling/re-enabling head tracking for spatial audio applications. In an embodiment, a method comprises: obtaining, using one or more processors of an auxiliary device worn by a user, motion data; tracking, using the one or more processors, the user's head based at least in part on the motion data; determining, using the one or more processors, whether or not the user is walking based at least in part on the motion data; in accordance with determining that the user is walking, determining if a source device configured to deliver spatial audio to the auxiliary device is static for a specified period of time; and in accordance with determining that the user is walking and the source device is static for the specified period of time, disabling the head tracking.

Proactive and reactive management for devices in a network
The disclosed technology includes a health engine that monitors and modifies customer-premises equipment (CPE) devices. The health engine can detect patterns in CPE device behavior, identify problems with CPE devices, and adjust CPE device configurations proactively or reactively to address problems or prevent problems. In some implementations, the health engine can instruct a CPE device or gateway to restart, update its software or firmware, notify a user of the CPE device of an unhealthy behavior pattern in a CPE device. The health engine can modify a CPE device prior to a user using the device or when the CPE device is inactive.
Vehicle control device and program
A vehicle control device is provided. The vehicle control device includes a terminal device authentication unit that determines whether a terminal device of a user registered as a user of a vehicle, in advance, is present around or within the vehicle. The vehicle control device also includes a communication unit that communicates with the terminal device. Also included in the vehicle control device is a control unit that causes a display device provided in the vehicle to output a screen for setting communication between the communication unit and the terminal device. The display device outputs the screen in a case where it is determined by the terminal device authentication unit that the terminal device is present and the display device is started up.
Fan experience recommendation system and method
Method, system, and media for improving a fan experience for an event at a venue with a live audience. Broadly speaking, embodiments of the invention provide techniques for systematizing fan interactions based on automatically detected fan groupings and criteria triggering activation events. Fans are classified into audience groupings based on collected data associated with each fan. Fan interactions map activation criteria (such as activities performed by the fan or purchases made by the fan, information about the event, or the ambient conditions) to activation events that can collect additional data about the fan, incentivize the fan to make a purchase, or improve the fan experience in some other way.
Communication device
A communication device may include a first type of interface and a second type of interface. The communication device may execute the communication of object data with a mobile device using the second type of interface after executing a specific process for causing the communication device to shift to a communication-enabled state, in a case where it is determined that the communication device is not currently in the communication-enabled state. Also, the communication device may execute the communication of the object data with the mobile device using the second type of interface without executing the specific process, in a case where it is determined that the communication device is currently in the communication-enabled state.
