A subset of the data packages that include audio content captured within a specified geographic area and within a specified time period is identified based on the metadata. A playlist for the specified area and the specified time period is generated based on the subset of data packages. The playlist may be provided to at least a first device.

A method and apparatus for storing a computer location including the steps of initiating, by a user of a device, a capture sequence, wherein the device includes a processor and a display screen, obtaining, by the processor, visual data corresponding to an image displayed on the display screen at the time of the initiating step, obtaining, by the processor, location data corresponding to a computer location accessed by the device, and storing, by the processor, the visual data and the location data as associated data such that the visual data and the location data are associated with each other. A method and apparatus for sending the computer location further including the step of sending, by the first device, the associated data to a second device, wherein the second device includes a second processor and a second display screen.

A system and method for providing location information on a social network, including: sending, to a social mapping system, a request for one or more social media posts, wherein the request includes screen attribute information about a display of a client device, geographic location information, and an identification of a requesting account of the social network; receiving, in response to the request, a suggested group for display by the client device; and displaying, by the client device, the suggested group.

The present application discloses an automated system and method for a vehicle fueling service. The system comprises a plurality of first users with a smart device preloaded with a software application. The first users are associated with a carrier of a mobile fuel dispensing unit. An online server is configured for the interaction between the first user and a plurality of second users and an online non-transitory storage database for storing information corresponding to an asset or a vehicle. The smart device is communicatively coupled to a NFC tag stuck to each asset or vehicle for their identification and further accessing the information. The software application comprises an integrated automated billing module for creation of an invoice in real time and is configured to allow the first users to handle a plurality of request for using the vehicle fueling service at a time.

A method includes receiving information indicative of a first vehicle identification number (VIN) for a first vehicle, determining that the first vehicle includes a first recalled component by comparing the first VIN to information in a recall database stored in a memory of an auditing system, receiving first image data generated by a mobile device, the first image data being reproducible as a first image of the first VIN on the first vehicle and associated with a first location of the mobile device, receiving second image data generated by the mobile device, the second image data being reproducible as a second image of at least a portion of the first recalled component and associated with a second location of the mobile device, and validating a status of the first recalled component by comparing the first location of the mobile and the second location of the mobile device.

Systems and methods are provided for timing message notifications to be provided to mobile device users based on their geographic locations with respect to geographic areas associated with a threshold level of content consumption. The timing of message notifications may be controlled in order to optimize the chances of delivering targeted content to a mobile device user based on the current geographic location of the user's device relative to a threshold level of content consumption area. As mobile device users may be more likely to launch a client application in a place where other users are currently consuming content, a general message notification sent to the user's device located in a geographic area associated with a threshold level of content consumption, may increase the likelihood that the user will launch the client application and thereby, allow targeted content to be delivered to the user's mobile device.

Tracking devices can be associated with safe zones, smart zones, and high risk zones. Safe zones correspond to regions where a likelihood that a tracking device is lost within the safe zone is lower than outside the safe zone. High risk zones correspond to regions where a likelihood that a tracking device is lost within the high risk zone is higher than outside the high risk zone. Smart zones correspond to an expected tracking device, mobile device, or user behavior. Home areas are geographic regions in which a user resides, and travel areas are geographic regions in which a user does not reside. A tracking device can be configured to operate in a mode selected based on a presence of the tracking device within a safe zone, a smart zone, a high risk zone, a home area, or a travel area.

[Problem] To achieve presenting surprising information to the user. [Solution] Provided is an information processing apparatus including a control unit that controls display of visual information performed by a display unit included in a mobile terminal, in which the control unit controls to display, based on a recognized context, one or more images highly related to the context among images captured by a user in past, onto a part of a display area of the display unit. Further provided is an information processing method including controlling, by a processor, display of visual information performed by a display unit included in a mobile terminal, in which the controlling further includes controlling to display, based on a recognized context, one or more images highly related to the context among images captured by a user in past, onto a part of a display area of the display unit.

An embodiment relates to a trash collection device comprising a trash receptacle with a unique identification and an opening to receive a class of trash; an identification scanner for recognizing a user; a trash item counter; a fill level sensor; a display configured to interact with the user; a compactor; a solar panel configured to charge a battery; a data communicator configured to communicate date to a cloud storage; a processor configured to generate incentive for the user; wherein the trash collection device is configured to be modular and configurable to connect with another similar trash collection device to enable to collect additional trash class and is configured to interact with each other through a common software. The device, method and system are further used to generate recycling analytics by using the stored data to provide incentives to users and to facilitate planning of downstream operations.

A system and method for providing service information on a social network. The method can include: receiving, from a first client device, a social media post including a request for a service, where the request for the service includes a set of objectives, service location information, and an identification of an account requesting a service on the social network; applying, by a computer processor, grouping criteria to a first set of user accounts to generate a group, where: the group is a subset of the first set of user accounts, and applying the grouping criteria includes: ranking each user account according to a geographic distance of a client device of the user account from a location specified by the service location information, and selecting, based the ranking, the subset of user accounts for inclusion in the group, where the selecting includes excluding at least one user account of the first set of user accounts from inclusion in the group based on the ranking; providing, to one or more user accounts in the group, the social media post for display by the client devices of the one or more user accounts.
