Abstract:
Method, computer program product, and apparatus for providing navigation guidance to vehicles are disclosed. In some implementations, a navigation device can be configured to determine a dynamic speed limit for a vehicle based on the location of the vehicle in a road segment, and displays the dynamic speed limit in a display of the navigation device.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure are related to a method for verifying whether a message was digitally signed by a user. The example method comprises: receiving a public key of a public-key signature scheme and one or more pieces of plaintext identification information associated with the user; applying a hash scheme to a combination of the public key and the one or more pieces of plaintext identification information, the hash scheme yielding a hash result; determining whether the hash result satisfies one or more criteria; determining whether the public key is associated with the user based on the determination of whether the hash result satisfies the one or more criteria; and verifying a digital signature of the message with the public key.
Abstract:
Aspects of the invention are related to a method for determining whether a transaction message of a digital currency system is valid. The exemplary method comprises: receiving the transaction message, the transaction message referencing in an input a previous output associated with a timeout value; determining whether a time as specified by the timeout value has passed; determining that the transaction message is valid in response to determining that the time as specified by the timeout value has not passed; and collecting the transaction message into a block of a block chain in response to determining that the transaction message is valid.
Abstract:
Method, computer program product, and apparatus for providing navigation guidance to vehicles are disclosed. The method may include receiving crowdsourcing data from a plurality of vehicles, determining traffic data corresponding to a road using the crowdsourcing data, predicting traffic condition of each lane of the road using the traffic data, and providing navigation guidance to a vehicle in accordance with the traffic condition of each lane of the road. The crowdsourcing data includes on board diagnostics data (OBD) correlated with time stamps and GPS locations of a vehicle, where the on board diagnostics data includes odometer information, speedometer information, fuel consumption information, steering information, and impact data.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices enable recovery of words spoken while a communication device is on mute during a voice call. A processor of the communication device or a network server may buffer audio segment in memory when the mute function is turned on. If the mute function is turned off soon after the input audio segment begins, or the processor recognizes from the spoken words that the speaker does not intend to be on mute, the processor may transmit to the third party participant a playback of at least one portion of the buffer in conjunction with turning off the mute function. Playback of the buffered audio segment may be sped up so that the playback catches up to current speech of the speaker. Buffering and playback of an input audio segment may be accomplished at the speaker's communication device or in a server within the communication network.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus, system, and method for a computing device to display an icon based upon user input. The computing device may receive user input and generate an icon based upon a checksum function of the user input. The computing device may display the icon to a user on a display device.
Abstract:
Example methods, apparatuses, or articles of manufacture are disclosed herein that may be utilized, in whole or in part, to facilitate or support one or more operations or techniques for automatic or more dynamic handover of one or more positioning parameters from a navigation device, such as a personal navigation device (PND) co-located with a vehicle, for example, to a mobile communication device for use in or with a mobile communication device.
Abstract:
Described herein are systems and methods employing embedded barcodes to convey supplemental information about an image, for example a motion picture. In some systems the barcodes may be subliminal because they are spliced, physically or digitally, into a movie frame shown too briefly to be consciously detectable to the human eye, but still detectable by camera sensors. Other described systems may display the barcodes in infrared or ultraviolet light, which is outside of the visible spectrum of light perceived by the human eye, but still detectable by camera sensors.
Abstract:
Example methods, apparatuses, or articles of manufacture are disclosed herein that may be utilized, in whole or in part, to facilitate or support one or more operations or techniques for generating a geofence via an analysis of a GPS fix utilization distribution, such as for use in or with a mobile communication device. Briefly, in accordance with at least one implementation, a method may include obtaining multiple position fixes of one or more objects over an area or volume; determining a clustering of the multiple position fixes in a portion of the area or volume; and inferring a geofence boundary bounding the portion of the area or volume based, at least in part, on the clustering of the multiple position fixes, for example.
Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to providing and obtaining a geo-fence without a network download. An embodiment generates geo-fence parameters and encodes the geo-fence parameters on a portable storage media, wherein the geo-fence parameters are transferred to a location-enabled mobile device when the location-enabled mobile device scans the portable storage media. An embodiment scans, by a location-enabled mobile device, a portable storage media, wherein the portable storage media stores geo-fence parameters, and wherein scanning the portable storage media transfers the geo-fence parameters to the location-enabled mobile device. An embodiment includes a non-transitory portable storage media comprising geo-fence parameters, including a perimeter of a geo-fence and one or more alert conditions associated with the perimeter of the geo-fence, wherein scanning the portable storage media transfers the geo-fence parameters to a location-enabled mobile device.
