GENERATING AUGMENTED REALITY IMAGES FOR DISPLAY ON A MOBILE DEVICE BASED ON GROUND TRUTH IMAGE RENDERING
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.
MAP-BASED GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR MULTI-TYPE SOCIAL MEDIA GALLERIES
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.
OBTAINING AND AUGMENTING AGRICULTURAL DATA AND GENERATING AN AUGMENTED DISPLAY SHOWING ANOMALIES
A geographic position of an agricultural machine is captured. Agricultural data is received that corresponds to a geographic position. Georeferenced visual indicia are displayed that are indicative of the received agricultural data.
OBTAINING AND AUGMENTING AGRICULTURAL DATA AND GENERATING AN AUGMENTED DISPLAY

Low-power modes for a vehicle telematics device
Methods and systems of enabling a transportation mode on a telematics device coupled to a vehicle are provided. One method includes detecting a first event or receiving a command for enabling a transportation mode, running a transportation mode power-saving scheme in response to receiving the first event or the command, and exiting the transportation mode power-saving scheme in response to detecting a second event.
Friend location sharing mechanism for social media platforms
A server system for a map-based social media platform maintains user location information to enable the rendering of friend icons on a map at a corresponding display locations. The system maintains a per user access control list (ACL) that lists all users whose icons can be viewed by a requesting user. The ACL can include a designation of respective display granularity levels for different friend users.
Electrically Charging a Circuit Board
A method and a device for making available electric charge in order to charge an electronic card including a near-field communication module by way of a terminal. The terminal has what is known as a reader mode in which it is able to supply power to the card in near-field mode and receive data from the card. The method includes the following steps, on the terminal, set to reader mode, so as to generate an electromagnetic field able to charge such an electronic card: initializing the communication between the terminal and the card; receiving a message from the card, the message containing at least one datum telling the terminal that it should maintain the electric charge; and maintaining the electric charge while remaining in reader mode.
AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDING A COMMUNICATION BASED ON LOCATION INFORMATION FOR A USER OF A SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM
Systems and methods for automatically locating web-based social network members are provided. According to one embodiment, contact content including an associated GPS identifier and status for web-based social network members located at or near the same location automatically appears on a GPS-enabled device. A further exemplary system includes a GPS-enabled device configured to receive a GPS identifier and a status representing a location and a current state for a web-based social network member, a processing module that associates the received GPS-identifier and the received status, and a communications module that sends the associated GPS-identifier and status to a server comprising a web-based social network database. Contact content in a web-based social network database record in the web-based social network database is updated to include the associated GPS identifier and status for the web-based social network member.
MEDIA CLIP CREATION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS
Various embodiments for creating media clips are disclosed. In one example, a method is performed by a server for managing the creation and distribution of media clips, where the server associates a content capture device with an event, the content capture device for recording at least a portion of the event, receives a tag notification from a content tagging device via a network interface, generates a media clip creation command to the content capture device via the network interface, sends the media clip creation command to the content capture device, and receives a media clip created by the content capture device in response to receiving the media clip creation command.
User presence-enabled tracking device functionality
A tracking system can provide configuration instructions to an electronic device based on user presence. The tracking system can determine a user's location relative to a geographic boundary surrounding a geographic area associated with the user. Depending on the user's location, the tracking system may send instructions to configure an electronic device to send a notification or change the operating mode of the electronic device in response to the user's presence. The electronic device may be a scanning device that is configured to have a higher or lower scanning frequency, depending on the presence or absence of the user relative to the scanning device.
