Abstract:
Systems, methods and media for managing digital rights and pre-verification of structural integrity in three-dimensional (3D) printing are provided. In one example, a system comprises at least one module, executing on one or more computer processors, to receive a request from a user to print a 3D object by a 3D printer or printing service and receive a conditional authorization from an owner of digital rights in the 3D object to print the 3D object. The conditional authorization can include a printing specification or limitation. The at least one module pre-verifies, for structural integrity once printed by the 3D printer or printing service, a digital model on which the 3D object is based. In response to a received conditional authorization, the at least one module transmits instructions to the 3D printer or printing service to print the 3D object.
Abstract:
In various example embodiments, systems and methods for enabling users to modify elements of a traffic commute are presented. For example, one embodiment involves a server computer receiving a bid value and a commute path from a client device. The server computer analyzes the received information to identify an available commute modification associated with the commute path, makes and verifies a modification in communication with traffic devices such as a street light if the bid is accepted, and then informs the client device that the modification impacting the user's traffic commute was accepted. In certain embodiments, different groups of users with different commutes associated with conflicting commute modifications bid against each other.
Abstract:
In various example embodiments, a system and method for handling a replaced smart device are presented. A computer-implemented replaced device handler detects that a user's smart device was replaced with a new device of the same class and, in response, presents the user with an invitation to sell their old device that has been replaced. A replaced device handler may be provided in connection with an on-line trading platform.
Abstract:
In various example embodiments, a system and method for standardizing user interface elements are presented. A method includes determining parameters of one or more user interface elements as part of a first application, the first application selected based on an increased usage by a user compared with other applications, generating a profile for the user, the profile indicating the respective parameters of the one or more user interface elements, and modifying locations of user interface elements with matching predetermined identifiers as part of a second application based on the respective parameters indicated in the profile.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure involve an apparatus, systems, and methods for soiled garment detection and notification. The method may include receiving a measure of odor being released from a garment from a soiled garment detection apparatus. The method may further include determining that the measure of odor exceeds an acceptable odor threshold. A message may then be sent to a user device associated with the garment (e.g. a device of the owner of the garment) in response to determining that the measure of odor exceeds the threshold. The message may include a notification that the garment is soiled, and a suggested course of action to improve the measure of odor released by the garment.
