Systems and methods for detecting the presence of a body in a network without fiducial elements, using signal absorption, and signal forward and reflected backscatter of RF waves caused by the presence of a biological mass in a communications network.

A computer-implemented method and a computer program product for device pairing by cognitive computing. A cognitive computing system creates a knowledge corpus about the historical activities of pairing devices of a user. The cognitive computing system predicts needs of device pairing of the user, based on analysis of the historical activities. The cognitive computing system identifies devices that can be paired in a surrounding area. An augmented reality device tracks an eye direction of the user at a device, extrapolates the eye direction to create an eye focus direction of the user, obtains from the cognitive computing system an eye focus line with an arrow pointing to the device, and creates an augmented reality overlay which shows the eye focus line. The augmented reality device pairs a user currently used device and the device, upon user approval.

In one embodiment, a system and method for controlling mobile gaming on a vessel may have a plurality of mobile gaming devices, a location server operable to track a device position of each of the plurality of mobile gaming devices and track a vessel position of the vessel, and a mobile gaming management server configured to communicate with the location server and a gaming server, the mobile gaming management server operable to individually control whether each of the plurality of mobile gaming devices is permitted to play a game of chance based on the device position and the vessel position.

A device and a method for controlling a device using a real-time image are provided. The method includes: receiving an image captured by an image capturing device connected to a network to display the image in real-time; searching for the device that is connected to the network and is controllable; designating, within the image, a setting zone corresponding to the device; receiving a user input; and controlling the device selected according to the user input. A location of the setting zone within the image may be updated according to a change in the image. The user may receive immediate visual feedback on how the devices are being controlled. The user may control a device displayed on the screen on which the real-time indoor image is displayed without having to navigate through different sub-menus for different devices.

Systems and methods for a controlling a shared virtual environment are provided. The systems and methods includes a public display connects to a reflector via a network. A shared virtual environment is replicated on the public display. A QR code is displayed on the public display for scanning by a mobile device. The QR code includes instructions to download a controller interface and location of the reflector. The mobile device provides inputs, via the reflector, to the shared virtual environment. This causes mirroring of computations on each of the plurality of objects across the shared virtual environment deterministically. Further, a new message from the reflector with an appended timestamp is transmitted to advance time within the public display. Inputs from the mobile device may include a touchscreen input corresponding to rendered joysticks and buttons, and/or an accelerometer input after position of the mobile device has been calibrated related to the public display.

A method of updating a protocol for a Virtual Reality (VR) medical test via a user device having a processor, the VR medical test being performed on a subject via a VR device worn by the subject, wherein the method is performed by the processor and the method comprises: displaying GUI elements associated with the protocol on the user device, the GUI elements having user adjustable settings for modifying a functioning of the VR medical test; receiving a selection input from the user device corresponding to a selection of the GUI elements; receiving a setting input from the user device that corresponds to the selected GUI elements; modifying the user adjustable setting for each of the selected GUI elements according to the corresponding setting input; and updating the protocol based on the user adjustable setting for each of the selected GUI elements and operations associated with the VR device.
