A wireless communications system is provided that runs on a mobile device and includes a computer system run on at least one platform on which a plurality of different lottery transactions for different jurisdictions are supported and run from the at least one platform. A decentralized and distributed digital ledger is used to record transactions for the lottery transactions, where each of a lottery transaction can include a lottery element. At least one computer readable storage medium stores computer executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one network processor in the workflow server residing in the mobile communications network, implement components including: a workflow module comprising sets of workflow instructions for processing different types of lottery game packets from a plurality of different jurisdictions; and a deep packet inspection module for inspecting a received lottery game packet and providing information about the lottery game packet to the workflow module.

The subject technology determines, by at least one processor, that a value of a capability parameter is not available for a first recipient device, the first recipient device being one of a plurality of recipient devices. The subject technology receives, from the first recipient device, a value of the capability parameter. The subject technology clusters, by at least one processor, the plurality of recipient devices into a plurality of groups of recipient devices based on device capabilities including an available storage space. The subject technology determines, for each group of recipient devices, a set of content parameters compatible with device capabilities of the plurality of recipient devices of a group of client devices. The subject technology generates, for each group of recipient devices, a version of content according to an associated set of content parameters.

A method for space time region based communications in a data communication network is disclosed. The method includes performing an initial assignment of bubble data, the bubble data including a bubble spatio temporal information data representing a volume of space time, the bubble data further including a content data thereby assigned to the spatio temporal information data; providing a spatio temporal coordinate data associated with at least one user of the data communication network, determining if the spatio temporal coordinate data is deemed to be within the volume of space time represented by the bubble spatio temporal information data, and granting access to the content data to the at least one user of the data communication network if the spatio temporal coordinate data is determined to be deemed to be within the volume of space time represented by the bubble spatio temporal information data.

An avatar notification system is disclosed, which performs operations that include: causing display of a notification at a client device associated with a first user account, the notification including an identification of a second user account; receiving an input that selects the notification from the client device; presenting a composition interface at the client device in response to the input that selects the notification, the composition interface including a display of a media element that comprises a first identifier associated with the first user account and a second identifier associated with the second user account; receiving a selection of the media element from the client device; and generating a message that includes the media element in response to the selection.

Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with computer-assisted or autonomous driving (CA/AD) vehicles are disclosed herein. In embodiments, CA/AD vehicles are members of a CA/AD vehicle social network (CASN) in which various CA/AD vehicles may form connections or relationships with one another. CA/AD vehicles that have an existing relationship or connection may share CASN information with one another. The CASN information may include authenticated and/or proprietary information. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

A method for specifying a cleaning area to a cleaning robot without an in-built map provides a hand-held mobile device capturing a two-dimensional code label arranged on a top of a cleaning robot parked on a charging base, and obtaining a positional relationship between the mobile device and the cleaning robot through the captured image. The cleaning robot is controlled to enter a cleaning mode under the guidance of the mobile device. With captured images, a user can specify an area within the environment for cleaning, and through a touch display screen can control the cleaning robot to go to the specified cleaning area for cleaning. The mobile device and the cleaning robot employing the method are also disclosed.

In one embodiment, a system includes an interface and a communicatively coupled processor. The interface is configured to receive first future location information of a first user and receive second future location information of a second user. The processor is configured to determine that the first and second future location information each correspond to a future location and determine that a characteristic related to the first user corresponds to a preference related to the second user. In response to these determinations, the processor is configured to cause information to be presented to the second user, the information to be presented to the second user comprising the future location and that the first user and the second user have the future location in common.
