Abstract: Systems and methods of returning location and/or event results using information mined from non-textual information are provided. Non-textual information is captured using a hardware component of a user device. Text-based social media content input on the user device is then retrieved. A location of the user device is determined using a global positioning system module in the user device. The non-textual information is converted to a machine-analyzable format, and the converted non-textual information is compared to a database of converted non-textual information samples to analyze and classify the converted non-textual information. The classification is sent to a server for storage in a database in a manner that ties the classification to the geographical location of the user device.

Abstract: A system or method is provided to implement event notifications in real time. In particular, a possible event occurrence, such as a spontaneous or unannounced musical concert, is detected based on a user's interactions with the user's communication device, such as the user's video or audio recording of an event or communication regarding an event, such as texting, tweeting, online posting, social network comments, and etc. An event notification may be generated based on the possible occurrence of this event. The user's communication device may broadcast this event notification via Bluetooth or Near-Field Communication (NFC) to other nearby communication devices. As such, users of the nearby communication devices may be notified of the occurrence of the event. In another embodiment, a communication device may receive various event notifications broadcasted from nearby communication devices. Relevant notifications may be selected and presented to the user based on a user's preferences.

Abstract translation: 提供系统或方法来实时实现事件通知。 特别地，可以基于用户与用户的通信设备的交互来检测诸如自发或未通知的音乐会之类的可能的事件发生，诸如用户对事件的视频或音频记录或事件的通信，诸如发短信 ，tweeting，在线发布，社交网络评论等。可以根据该事件的可能发生生成事件通知。 用户的通信设备可以通过蓝牙或近场通信（NFC）向其他附近的通信设备广播该事件通知。 因此，可以向附近的通信设备的用户通知事件的发生。 在另一个实施例中，通信设备可以接收从附近通信设备广播的各种事件通知。 可以基于用户的偏好来选择相关通知并呈现给用户。

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a payment include determining that a conductive payment device has been positioned immediately adjacent a touch sensitive payment receiving device. A plurality of conductive identification elements that are communicated from the conductive payment device to the touch sensitive payment receiving device are detected and the relative positions of at least some of the plurality of conductive identification elements are determined. User payment account information is then retrieved using the determined relative positions of the at least some of the plurality of conductive identification elements. A payment request is then sent over a network to make a payment using the user payment account information.

Abstract: Techniques for locating and identifying mobile devices are described. According to various embodiments, an ambient sound signal may be detected using a microphone of a mobile device. Thereafter, it may be determined that the ambient sound signal corresponds to a predefined user query for assistance in locating the mobile device. A predefined response sound corresponding to the predefined user query may then be emitted, using a speaker of the mobile device. Additionally, user identification information may be displayed on a screen in response to detecting contact with the mobile device using at least one of an accelerometer and a gyroscope.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a group of local trusted devices is formed based, at least in part, on locations of a plurality of devices. Then a payment tree is presented in a user interface of a first device in the group of local trusted devices, the payment tree including a graphical representation of relationships between devices in the group and permitting selection, by a user of the first device, of one or more devices in the group to share in paying a bill received from a device outside the group. A bill may then be generated from the first device to each selected device in the payment tree, the bill indicating a payment amount reflecting a portion of the bill received from the device outside the group.
