Configuration of signal strength calibration offset is provided. A user interface is displayed, to a screen of a mobile device, for configuration of a signal strength offset of a wireless transceiver to a vehicle, the signal strength offset being an offset with respect to a default calibration of signal strength measurements between the wireless transceiver and the vehicle, the signal strength calibration being for use in calibrating a location of the mobile device for a passive zone with respect to the vehicle. An update to the signal strength calibration is received from the user interface. The signal strength calibration as updated is sent to the vehicle for use in locating the mobile device for the passive zone.

Vehicle inventory control. At least one example is a computer-implemented method of vehicle inventory control, the method comprising: receiving parameters indicating a geo-fence to be established at a predetermined time; establishing the geo-fence at the predetermined time; disabling a resident vehicle identified on a predetermined list of vehicles, the resident vehicle within the geo-fence at the predetermined time; and refraining from disabling a non-resident vehicle identified on the predetermined list of vehicles that is outside the geo-fence at the predetermined time.

Techniques for providing proximity based messages are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include one or more servers configured to receive proximity message requests from a consumer device. The requests may include consumer device locations, which may be used by the one or more servers to generate a geofence set. Furthermore, the consumer device location may be used as a basis for selecting notification data relevant to the location. Both the geofence set and the notification data may be sent to the consumer device in a single proximity message response for local notification creation if the notification data can be collected within a maximum response time. The notification data may be provided via a push notification server asynchronously if the notification data cannot be collected within the maximum response time.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring a location of a client device associated with a transportation service and generating augmented reality images for display on the client device. The systems and methods use sensor data from the client device and a device localization process to monitor the location of the client device by comparing renderings of images captured by the client device to renderings of the vicinity of the pickup location. The systems and methods determine navigation instructions from the user's current location to the pickup location and select one or more augmented reality elements associated with the navigation instructions and/or landmarks along the route to the pickup location. The systems and methods instruct the client device to overlay the selected augmented reality elements on a video feed of the client device.

A social media platform provides a map-based graphical user interface (GUI) with multiple geographically anchored icons that are selectable to trigger playback of respective galleries of ephemeral messages. Each of the plurality of location-based ephemeral galleries comprises media content contributed by multiple different users. The ephemeral galleries are compiled based on geotag data associated with respective ephemeral messages submitted by multiple users to be publicly viewable via the map-based GUI. Two or more different types of galleries are represented in the map-based GUI by different, visually distinct types of gallery icon.

In an approach, a processor identifies that a vehicle has been exposed to a first user, the first user associated with an infectious disease. A processor monitors, via a wireless ad hoc network, presence of a mobile device at a location of the vehicle. A processor identifies the presence of the mobile device at the location of the vehicle. A processor sends a notification to the mobile device, the notification specifying that the vehicle has been exposed to the infectious disease.

An information processing device includes a controller, a ride detection device configured to detect a ride of a user, a storage device configured to store action data of the user, an output device configured to output question data for requesting an answer from the user, and an input device configured to receive an input from the user. The controller outputs, from the output device, output data including at least a question regarding an action of the user taken before riding in a vehicle in accordance with positional information of the vehicle when detecting the ride of the user based on a signal acquired from the ride detection device, acquires an answer to the question from the user as input data via the input device, and associates the input data with the positional information of the vehicle or a POI to store the associated data in a storage device.
