摘要:
Systems and methods for searching for lost moving objects such as children are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems and methods initiate an autonomous, expanding electronic search by emitting a search activation signal from a search initiation device. The search activation signal may include the target tag identifier of a target tag conveyed by the moving object. Search devices detecting the target tag may generate a hit signal, which may be used to determine the location of the target tag. In some instances, focused human searching for the moving object may be initiated based on this determined location, and/or on location information included in one or more hit signals.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, in a mobile station of a terminating party, an incoming call and an identifier of a service provider of an initiating party of the incoming call, and displaying information corresponding to the initiating party service provider on a display of the mobile station. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A device and method for predictively precaching content on a mobile communication device includes monitoring numerous data sources for contextual data on the activities of the user. The mobile communication device predicts network connectivity outages and affected applications using the contextual data. The mobile communication device notifies the affected applications of the predicted network connectivity outage, and in response the affected applications precache suitable content. The affected applications may employ several precaching strategies in response to the notification, such as downloading content from a remote content server, adjusting content streaming, or adjusting content buffering prior to the predicted network connectivity outage. During the network outage, application service is provided using the precached content. Such precaching may also be accomplished using a local caching proxy server.

Systems and methods may provide for implementing a counteroffer generation service. In one example, the method may include detecting an inquiry relating to an item offered by a vendor, analyzing the inquiry to determine the item, generating a counteroffer relating to the item, generating counteroffer code including the counteroffer relating to the item, and conducting a transaction relating to the item utilizing the counteroffer code.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to pair devices to an in-body network. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a device capability manager to identify remote sensors associated with a candidate medical device, an encryption engine to provide the candidate medical device with hashing instructions to be applied to input values from selected ones of the remote sensors, a measurement engine to acquire input values from local sensors corresponding to the selected ones of the available remote sensors during a measurement schedule, the encryption engine to apply the hashing instructions to the input values from the local sensors, and a pairing engine to authorize the candidate medical device when an encryption key associated with the remote sensors includes a threshold indication of parity with an encryption key associated with the local sensors.
摘要:
Generally, this disclosure describes location discrepancy fixes using a community of users. A method may include correcting a location of a mobile device when a location signal is lost based on a last known location and a trajectory, wherein a corrected location corresponds to an actual location provided by at least one user of a community of users and stored in a list of corrected locations, and the actual location is related to the last known location and the trajectory.

Various embodiments are generally directed to cooperation among networked devices to obtain and use a multiple-frame screenshot. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a processor circuit executing a sequence causing the processor circuit to receive a signal conveying a context data; retrieve an aspect of a current context of the apparatus; compare the aspect to the context data; determine whether a context defined as appropriate exists to engage in interactions with one or more other computing devices through a network based on the comparison, the interactions comprising providing a network service to the one or more other computing devices; and engage in the interactions with one or more computing devices through the network when the appropriate context to engage in the interactions exists. Other embodiments are described and claimed herein.
摘要:
A touchscreen-based user interface that allows the user to perform information searching on a mobile information appliance, such as a tablet computer or smart phone. By moving one or two fingers in appropriate direction(s) across the touchscreen, a search may be specified. Moreover, by using the appropriate gestures, a search may be broadened or narrowed by specifying additional search terms. This may be performed iteratively to allow the user to discover information, at various times narrowing or broadening a search.
摘要:
Methods and systems to predictively determine to perform a computing activity based on contextual information. Context-based criteria are defined based relationships between user-computing activity and contextual information, and are evaluated based on updated contextual information to determine whether to perform the computing activity. Context-based criteria may be defined to predictively identify content to be transferred/synchronized/updated and/or deleted, and/or to select one or more of multiple devices to receive content. Content may be selectively synchronized across devices of a user and/or shared with another user(s). Context-based criteria may relate to, without limitation, location, activity, computer-usage patterns, motion, and/or schedule of a user, device location, user/device proximity, relationships amongst content, users, and/or devices. Context-based computing environment parameters may be provided to pre-loaded content on device (e.g., store, open, and/or configure an operating system, application, and/or resource), with little or no user interaction.
