    摘要: A geographic-based communications service system has a mobile unit for transmitting/receiving information, and access points connected to a network. The access points are arranged in a known geographic locations and transmit and receive information from the mobile unit. When one of the access points detects the presence of the mobile unit, it sends a signal to the network indicating the location of the mobile unit and the information requested by the mobile unit. Based on the signal received from the access point, the network communicates with information providers connected to the network and provides data to the mobile unit through the access point corresponding to the location of the mobile unit.

    摘要: An information communication system has a plurality of nodes connected by both an information transmission bus and a signalling channel. The information transmission bus is used to carry messages between devices attached to the nodes of the network. The signalling channel is used to signal nodes that a message transmission is about to occur. Based on the devices connected to the nodes, the appropriate communication protocol can be set up and resources allocated on the information transmission bus to efficiently transfer information. The invention allows a device acting as a message source to communicate with another device at a first node using a first protocol and to communicate with a different device at a second node using a second protocol. The protocols can be stored in the devices attached to the nodes or a control node can be used.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for transferring original data which includes images, between two stations located a distance apart, without actual transmission of the image portion of the data. A library of images are provided at each of the stations. The image to be transferred is processed into a description of the image which allows the reproduction of the image at the receiving end of the transmission using the images contained in the image library in the receiving station.

    摘要: The system comprises a pair of error checking processors connected in a master/slave configuration such that the slave receives inputs and outputs of the master, mimics operation of the master based on the inputs to produce mimicked outputs, compares the mimicked outputs with the master outputs and indicates an error condition if the mimicked outputs do not equal the master outputs. A checking circuit forces a difference between the mimicked output and the master output and determines if the master slave configuration accurately determines the presence of the forced error.

    摘要: Configuring and managing gateway devices. A gateway device may be installed at a location, such as a merchant location or home. The gateway device may manage (e.g., monitor and/or control) one or more devices at the location. For example, the gateway device may manage various fuel tank devices, point of sale devices, refrigeration devices, liquid dispensing devices, etc., at a convenience store. The gateway device may provide reported information to and receive commands from a cloud server, which may be in communication with other devices which may be used to view reported information of or control the managed devices. The cloud server may also be configured to install applications, e.g., for execution by the cloud server, the gateway device, and/or other devices. For example, the gateway device may install applications provided by the cloud server to manage the devices coupled to the gateway device.

    摘要: Systems, methods, apparatus and software have been discovered for use by individual users to monitor the geographic location of other people or assets with some relationship to the user. Once some manner of location information is determined, users have the ability to describe that location in various ways and control how that information is shared with other users.
