Methods and apparatus consistent with the present disclosure allow a customer or payor to select from a plurality of nearby vendors or payees when a computing device of the payor is physically close to electronic devices of the payees. Payee devices and locations of those payee devices may be identified and displayed on a display of a payor device. Once displayed, a specific payee device may be selected by the customer and an order for a product or service may be sent to the selected payee device from the payor device. After the product or service has been provided to the customer, information that confirms that purchase may be sent to any of the selected payee device, the payor device, or a payment processing computer and funds to pay for the product or service may be deposited into an account of the payee based on the confirmation.

Identification of a poorly parked vehicle and performance of a first group of actions to cause one or more other devices to perform a second group of actions

A device can receive parking metadata that includes location data indicating that a portion of a vehicle is located outside of a designated parking area (DPA). The device can process the parking metadata to identify values that are to be used when determining actions to perform. The device can obtain supplemental events data associated with events occurring near the DPA. The device can determine the actions to perform based on the parking metadata and the supplemental events data. The device can provide, as one of the actions and to one or more other devices or to the vehicle, a message indicating that the portion of the vehicle is located outside of the DPA. This can cause the one or more other devices or the vehicle to: move the vehicle from the DPA, reposition the vehicle within the DPA, or penalize an owner of the vehicle.

Mobile cellular networks

Multiple mobile cellular network (MCN) communication systems can be networked together to form a network of MCN communication systems (NOM). Each MCN communication system within the NOM can operate as an independent cellular network to provide communications between user equipment within a covered area. When a UE in one MCN of the NOM moves into a different MCN of the NOM, the corresponding MCN communication systems can handover the UE. The UE can also be handed over between MCN communication systems when the MCN communication systems move.

A content transmission method is provided. The method may include: A first device determines that a distance between the first device and a second device is less than a distance threshold. The first device provides a user with a prompt that content transmission can be performed between the first device and the second device. The first device recognizes a gesture operation performed by the user on the first device, and determines transmission content and a transmission direction of the transmission content between the first device and the second device based on the recognized gesture operation. The first device receives the transmission content from the second device or sends the transmission content to the second device based on the determined transmission direction.

ELECTRONICS MODULE FOR A WEARABLE ARTICLE

An interface (101) is arranged to communicatively couple with an electronics arrangement of the wearable article so as to receive a signal from the electronics arrangement. A controller (103) is communicatively coupled to the interface (101) and arranged to receive the signal from the interface (101). A power source (105) is coupled to the controller (103) and arranged to supply power to the controller (103). A first antenna (107) is arranged to communicatively couple with a mobile device over a first wireless communication protocol. A second antenna (109) is arranged to communicatively couple with the mobile device over a second wireless communication protocol. In response to the mobile device being brought into proximity with the electronics module (100), the first antenna (107) is triggered to transmit information to the mobile device over the first wireless communication protocol.

Tracking Tags

An apparatus, method and computer program is described including: detecting a tracking tag in proximity of a user device (the tracking tag not being pre-associated with the user device); responsive to the detection (and while the tracking tag remains in proximity of the user device): identifying one or more contextual parameters associated with the tracking tag; and responsive to determining that the identified one or more contextual parameters meet a predetermined criterion or criteria, issuing or causing issuance of an alert to the user device and/or to the tracking tag.

REMOTE OBSERVATION AND REPORTING OF VEHICLE OPERATING CONDITION VIA V2X COMMUNICATION

According to one or more examples, a system includes an observer vehicle, and a vehicle in a predetermined vicinity of the observer vehicle. The observer vehicle detects an operating condition of the vehicle using one or more perception devices. The observer vehicle determines that the operating condition does not satisfy a predetermined norm. The observer vehicle generates a message indicating the operating condition of the vehicle. The observer vehicle identifies a communication identifier of the vehicle. The observer vehicle sends the message to be received by the vehicle using the communication identifier via a vehicle to everything (V2X) communication module.

DEVICE PAIRING USING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION BASED ON VOICE COMMAND CONTEXT

Pairing of multiple devices is initiated using a computer in an artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem. A command is received at a computer to perform a user activity at a location which includes pairing a user device to a selectable device at the location. The context of the command is analyzed including a historical corpus regarding previous pairings and connection preferences. A device at the location is selected based on the analysis and the determining of the user activity. Pairing is automatically initiated for the user device to the selected device at the location based on the analysis of the context of the command. The automatic initiation includes adjusting settings on the user device based on the analysis of the context of the command. The user device is automatically paired to the selected device at the location to perform the user activity.
