Abstract: Methods and systems include determining that a device is proximate to a sign, providing sign identification information associated with the sign, and providing a sign history. A request for sign data associated with the sign identification information may be received, and sign data may be provided. Determining that a sign is proximate to a device may be based on a signal from the sign and/or the device. Additionally, a location of a device may be received and it may be determined that the device is proximate to a sign based on determining a location of the sign and determining that the difference in the location of the device and the location of the sign is less than a given threshold. A request for sign data associated with the sign may be sent. In response, sign data may be received, stored, and displayed.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a computer-implemented method can include receiving, at a computing device, a beacon signal including a vending device identifier and sending, to a cloud-based vending service, the vending device identifier. The method can further include receiving, from the cloud-based vending service, an indication of at least one product available for purchase from the vending device and receiving, at the computing device, an indication of a selected product of the at least one product available for purchase. The method can also include sending, to the cloud based service, a request to purchase the selected product and receiving, from the cloud-based vending service, a purchase token for the selected product. The method can still further include sending, to the vending device, the purchase token and receiving, from the vending device, an acknowledgment that the purchase token has been used to purchase the selected product.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes location techniques for a mobile device. A mobile device may request permission from a server device to perform a ranging operation. Responsive to receiving an indication of allowance, the mobile device may output a first data packet via a radio signal, which is received by a beacon device that activates an ultrasonic transponder upon receipt of the first data packet. The mobile device then outputs a second data packet via an ultrasonic pulse. The beacon device receives the ultrasonic pulse and outputs a third data packet via a second radio signal that includes information identifying the beacon device. The mobile device calculates a time difference between outputting the ultrasonic pulse and receiving the second radio signal and determines its location based on the third data packet and the time difference.

Abstract: Systems and methods for code communication are provided. A secure system wirelessly transmits, via a magnetic field transmitter, an access code to a handheld wireless communication device as a sequence of polarities of a short-range magnetic field. The wireless communication device senses the sequence of polarities and determines the code from the sensed sequence of polarities. The code provides access to the secure system. The handheld wireless communication device can wirelessly transmit the code received from the short-range magnetic field and identification information to the secure system to receive access to the secure system. The access is personalized based on at least the identification information and is maintained or validated when the handheld wireless communication device is within range of the short-range magnetic field.

Abstract: A display device can include a housing, a processor, and a display assembly. The processor can be arranged within the housing. The display assembly can be operably coupled to the processor and arranged within the housing. The display assembly can include a first display, a privacy filter, and a second display. The first display can output a first portion of the display. The second display can output a second portion of the display. The privacy filter and the first and second displays can be arranged such that the first portion of the display assembly is filtered by the privacy filter to be viewable in a first viewable arc. The second portion of the display assembly can be viewable in a second viewable arc that is different than the first viewable arc. The first and second displays can be LCD's.

Abstract: A user may associate an electronic device such as a smartphone with a public device by imitating a pattern for a target with a gesture of the mobile device. The physical movement of the smartphone may be compared to the movement data for the target. If there is a match, the public device and the electronic device may be associated with one another. The association may allow a user to interact with the public device using the smartphone.

Abstract: Content provided at a venue may be stored to a database by associating the content provided with a content identifier and a venue identifier. In some configurations, the play time indicator may be associated with the content identifier and venue identifier. A query may be received based on a scan of a static, machine-readable computer code. The query may request a search of the database to be performed in order to identify the content provided at the venue. The query may be for content that is currently playing or for content that has been played at the venue within a defined time frame. A response to the query may be provided that identifies the content for the venue. The response may be provided, for example, to a smartphone belonging to a user and may present a purchase option for the content.
