    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a navigation system and computer-implemented methods for proactively re-routing vehicles to control traffic flow. Consistent with some embodiments, the navigation system seeks to reduce traffic flow along primary navigation routes (e.g., routes with relatively short travel times) by re-routing vehicles to alternative navigation routes (e.g., routes with relatively longer travel times) using incentives. As an example, upon detecting a vehicle traveling along an alternative route instead of a primary route, the navigation system updates a data structure that represents a user account of a vehicle occupant to reflect an increased account balance. Consistent with some embodiments, the amount of value provided to an occupant of a vehicle traveling along an alternative routes may be obtained from user accounts of occupants of other vehicles that are traveling along a primary route.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for replenishing a consumable include order satisfaction responsive to an indication of imminent failure or depletion of a consumable based on detected parameters. A sensor reading may indicate that a consumable is performing below a threshold, or has limited remaining capacity. Responsive to a determination that a replacement is necessary, the method may recommend one or more alternatives. The recommendation may be made based on how closely a candidate replacement's performance or other characteristic (e.g. cost, capacity) matches that of a currently-used consumable. The recommendation may be based on one or more attributes of a candidate replacement compared to a currently-used consumable. An order may be automatically placed according to the currently-used consumable or the recommended alternative(s). The order may be delivered with instructions regarding where and when to replace the consumable.

    Abstract: A system and method for a handshake authenticated coded locked container are provided. In example embodiments, a digitally encoded lock mechanism that is used by a sender to lock a container before shipping is determined. An access key is received from the recipient that receives the container. An authentication process is performed that determines whether the access key triggers the unlocking of the container. Based on a determination that the access key triggers the unlocking of the container, instructions are provided to unlock the container.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and computer-implemented methods for creating and maintaining a high-quality image marketplace. Consistent with some embodiments, a method includes receiving a request from a device for an image corresponding to a location. An image file corresponding to the location is then retrieved from an image repository of the image marketplace. The method further includes composing image data using the image file, and determining a price for the image data based on a relationship between the requesting device and the location. The image data may then be transmitted to the requesting device in response to receiving a payment of the price.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for authentication of users based on biometrics and determination of group characteristics based on biometrics are provided. Biometric profiles of users, which include reference biometric data for behavioral patterns and/or physiological characteristics, are stored in a biometric system. A biometric capture device captures a biometric sample that includes a representation of one or more biometrics of a user. The biometric system determines biometric data from the biometric sample and compares the biometric data with the reference biometric data. The biometric system may authenticate the user based on the comparison alone or in combination with other authentication techniques. Further, for biometric samples that include a representation of biometrics for a group of users, the biometric system may determine a group characteristic from the biometric sample and provide services relevant to the group.
