    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for detecting user devices to determine a state of a watched show are provided. A digital video recorder (DVR) is configured to store a media file associated with a media program. The DVR detects one or more user devices within a predetermined vicinity while the media program is being played. The DVR identifies users who are interested in the media program. The DVR tracks a watch status associated with the media program indicating which users have watched or are watching the media program based on the detected user devices. For stored media files, the DVR determines whether to delete the media file based on whether all users who are interested in the media program have completed watching the media program. The DVR may track user activity and/or vital signs based on sensor data from wearable devices, for example, to determine user reaction and/or user interests.

    Abstract translation: 提供了用于检测用户设备以确定观看节目的状态的设备,系统和方法。 数字录像机(DVR)被配置为存储与媒体节目相关联的媒体文件。 在播放媒体节目时,DVR检测预定附近的一个或多个用户装置。 DVR识别对媒体节目感兴趣的用户。 DVR跟踪与媒体节目相关联的观看状态,指示哪些用户已经基于检测到的用户设备观看或正在观看媒体节目。 对于存储的媒体文件,DVR基于所有对媒体节目感兴趣的用户是否已经完成观看媒体节目,确定是否删除媒体文件。 DVR可以基于来自可穿戴设备的传感器数据来跟踪用户活动和/或生命体征,例如以确定用户反应和/或用户兴趣。

    Abstract: In various example embodiments, devices, systems, and methods for a waist measuring belt are provided. An example waist measuring belt is made up of a belt buckle frame with attachments for a belt strap. The belt further includes a position measuring module coupled to the belt buckle frame that measures an attachment position of a second end of the belt strap to the belt buckle frame. The belt also includes a tension measuring module coupled to the belt buckle frame that measures a tension through the belt buckle frame and the belt strap. A memory and a wireless communication module attached to the belt may be used to store measurements and communicate with a mobile device or server. In various embodiments, estimated user waist sizes over time using measured values and belt-specific data may be used to estimate a user's waist size and generate a waist size history.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for authenticating an account via a hands-free gesture, such as a tap, pattern of taps, or other physical gesture not requiring a user to hold a computing device. A user can initiate a transaction to purchase an item by interacting with a first computing device (e.g., electronic kiosk, point-of-sale terminal, automated checkout device, etc.). The first computing device can receive a request from the user to purchase the item. In response, the first computing device can broadcast an authentication request. The user can perform the hands-free gesture for detection by a second computing device (e.g., the user's mobile device). The second computing device can transmit information associated with the hands-free gesture in response to the authentication request. The first computing device can authenticate the user based on the information associated with the hands-free gesture.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing access to secure-access facilities based on pairing of the secure-access facilities with a user device such as a wearable device. A pairable secure-access facility may be a public storage facility or device such as a locker that includes communications circuitry for pairing with the user device. Once paired with the user device, the locker may operate a locking mechanism to lock the locker when the user device is away from the locker and to unlock the locker when the user device is in the vicinity of the locker. The locker may include a beacon for detecting and pairing with the user devices. Pairing the user device and the locker may include entering a locker identifier into the user device to ensure that the intended user device is paired with the intended locker.
