    Abstract: In general, techniques and systems for defining a gesture with a computing device using short-range communication are described. In one example, a method includes obtaining position information from an array of position devices using near-field communication (NFC) during a movement of the computing device with respect to the array, wherein the position information identifies unique positions within the array for each position device from which position information was obtained. The method may also include determining sequence information associated with the position information, wherein the sequence information is representative of an order in which the position information was obtained from each position device, and performing, by the computing device, an action based at least in part on the position information and the sequence information, wherein the position information and the sequence information are representative of a gesture input associated with the movement of the computing device.

    Abstract: In a general aspect, a computer-implemented method can include receiving, at a computing device, a beacon signal including a vending device identifier and sending, to a cloud-based vending service, the vending device identifier. The method can further include receiving, from the cloud-based vending service, an indication of at least one product available for purchase from the vending device and receiving, at the computing device, an indication of a selected product of the at least one product available for purchase. The method can also include sending, to the cloud based service, a request to purchase the selected product and receiving, from the cloud-based vending service, a purchase token for the selected product. The method can still further include sending, to the vending device, the purchase token and receiving, from the vending device, an acknowledgment that the purchase token has been used to purchase the selected product.

    Abstract: Methods and systems include determining that a device is proximate to a sign, providing sign identification information associated with the sign, and providing a sign history. A request for sign data associated with the sign identification information may be received, and sign data may be provided. Determining that a sign is proximate to a device may be based on a signal from the sign and/or the device. Additionally, a location of a device may be received and it may be determined that the device is proximate to a sign based on determining a location of the sign and determining that the difference in the location of the device and the location of the sign is less than a given threshold. A request for sign data associated with the sign may be sent. In response, sign data may be received, stored, and displayed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating interactions with embedded devices are provided. In one embodiment, a method can include obtaining a first set of data indicative of at least a plurality of interactions between a user device and a plurality of embedded devices associated with a building, and one or more locations of the user device associated with each respective interaction. The method can include generating a second set of data for each embedded device based, at least in part, on the first set of data. Each second set of data can be indicative of at least a number of interactions between the user device and the respective embedded device for each location. The method can include determining a particular location of the user device. The method can include identifying one or more recommended embedded devices and providing information about at least one recommended embedded device to the user device.

    Abstract: Systems, computer-readable storage mediums, and methods for discovering and displaying media content related to an electronic document. At a first computing device, document identifying information—which is one of: at least a portion of a network identifier or source code for the electronic document—for the electronic document is obtained. One or more media entities associated with the electronic document are then obtained from a server. The media entities correspond to media content including scheduled TV programming, steaming media or locally stored media. A representation of a subset of the media entities is displayed, and a user selection from the representation of a respective media entity from the subset is obtained. In response, selection information identifying the respective media entity is sent to a second computing device, which is configured to access and display respective media content corresponding to the respective media entity based on the selection information.

    Abstract: Content provided at a venue may be stored to a database by associating the content provided with a content identifier and a venue identifier. In some configurations, the play time indicator may be associated with the content identifier and venue identifier. A query may be received based on a scan of a static, machine-readable computer code. The query may request a search of the database to be performed in order to identify the content provided at the venue. The query may be for content that is currently playing or for content that has been played at the venue within a defined time frame. A response to the query may be provided that identifies the content for the venue.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for code communication are provided. A secure system wirelessly transmits, via a magnetic field transmitter, an access code to a handheld wireless communication device as a sequence of polarities of a short-range magnetic field. The wireless communication device senses the sequence of polarities and determines the code from the sensed sequence of polarities. The code provides access to the secure system. The handheld wireless communication device can wirelessly transmit the code received from the short-range magnetic field and identification information to the secure system to receive access to the secure system. The access is personalized based on at least the identification information and is maintained or validated when the handheld wireless communication device is within range of the short-range magnetic field.
