Providing location-based augmented reality content

The solution illustrated herein enables provision of applications, for example, augmented reality applications, to a user node automatically or at least semi-automatically based on location of the user node. The user node sends a request comprising location information of the user node to a network node. The network node has mapped geographical coordinates into a plurality of zones. Based on the request comprising the location information, the network node identifies one or more zones and transmits program content provider information associated with the one or more zones to the user node.

11586246 · 2023-02-21 · ·

A method for providing a notification, includes: determining whether a wearable device is worn by a user; obtaining usage status information of the wearable device when the wearable device is unworn by the user; determining whether to send the notification based on the usage status information of the wearable device; and sending the notification when a predefined condition is met.

Assured Geo-Containment and Conformance Enforcement System for Air, Ground, and Marine Vehicles

A geo-containment system includes at least one unmanned vehicle and an enforcement system that is onboard the unmanned vehicle and configured to limit travel of the unmanned vehicle based, at least in part, on predefined geospatial operational boundaries. Such boundaries may include a primary boundary and at least one secondary boundary that is spaced apart from the primary boundary a minimum safe distance. The minimum safe distance is determined while the unmanned vehicle is traveling. The minimum safe distance is determined using state information of the unmanned vehicle and/or dynamics of the unmanned vehicle. The state information includes at least position and velocity of the unmanned vehicle. The enforcement system is configured to alter and/or terminate operation of the unmanned vehicle if the unmanned vehicle violates the primary geospatial operational boundary and/or the secondary geospatial boundary. The enforcement system may inter-relate with the unmanned vehicle through an onboard vehicle control system.

Pill pack packaging

Pill pack packaging that monitors and reports on pill compliance is disclosed. The pill pack packaging includes a circuit disposed on the cover of pill receptacles. A processor monitors the changes in electrical signals from the circuit. When the electrical signals change, the processor records the time and date. The processor may also report the time and date of pill receptacle opening to a mobile device via wireless transmission. The device may also be capable of providing alerts regarding lack of compliance or loss of the pill pack.

Geo-locked field device

A geo-locked field device that is situated in a non-moving position and is operable as long as its position, including altitude and direction, is unchanged. If the position of the device is changed or disturbed, then the device will become inoperable. If the position is returned to its former position after being disturbed and rendered inoperable, then the device will continue to be inoperable. Providing a special signal to the device may cause it to become operable.

A method of passive sensor tracking includes using a Wi-Fi access point that transmits a management frame comprising sensor data of a sensor as part of Wi-Fi wireless network discovery, associating unique identifying information of the Wi-Fi access point with a sensor in a sensor tracking database, receiving observation data of the Wi-Fi access point from a Wi-Fi AP Database, the observation data including the unique identifying information of the Wi-Fi access point and the sensor data of the sensor, and storing the sensor data in the sensor tracking database. The Wi-Fi AP Database receives one or more reports comprising observation data from one or more wireless devices that encounter the Wi-Fi access point.

VEHICULAR DRIVING ASSIST SYSTEM RESPONSIVE TO DRIVER HEALTH MONITORING
20220363253 · 2022-11-17 ·

A vehicular occupant health monitoring system includes a heartbeat sensor disposed at a vehicle and operable to capture sensor data measuring an aspect associated with the heart of an occupant of the vehicle. A control includes a processor operable to process sensor data captured by the heartbeat sensor and provided to the control. The vehicular occupant health monitoring system, responsive to processing by the processor of sensor data captured by the heartbeat sensor, determines whether the measured aspect associated with the heart of the occupant is abnormal. The vehicular occupant health monitoring system, responsive to determining the measured aspect associated with the heart of the occupant is abnormal, controls a function of the vehicle.
