Abstract: Systems and method of providing personalized data by a public device are provided. In particular, a beacon device associated with a public computing device, such as a kiosk, can broadcast beacon data associated with the public computing device. The beacon data can include an identifier associated with the public device. The beacon data can be detected by a user device proximate the beacon device. The user device can then send user data to a remote computing device associated with the public device. The remote computing device can then update at least a portion of information to be provided by the public device based at least in part on the user data.

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: A method and/or system for automating help task across multiple devices may include receiving from a requesting device a request for help instructions corresponding to a receiving electronic device, where the receiving device is not the requesting device. Help instructions may be sent to the requesting device in response to the request for help instructions. A request to automate the help instructions on the receiving device may be received from the requesting device. Automation data may be sent to the receiving device in response to the request to automate the help instructions. A determination may be made of whether the requesting device corresponds to a particular user. A determination of the receiving device may be made from a plurality of devices corresponding to the particular user. Automation status may be sent to the requesting device indicative of whether the help instructions were automated on the receiving device.

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: Systems, computer-readable storage mediums, and methods for discovering and displaying media content related to an electronic document. At a first computing device, document identifying information—which is one of: at least a portion of a network identifier or source code for the electronic document—for the electronic document is obtained. One or more media entities associated with the electronic document are then obtained from a server. The media entities correspond to media content including scheduled TV programming, streaming media or locally stored media. A representation of a subset of the media entities is displayed, and a user selection from the representation of a respective media entity from the subset is obtained. In response, selection information identifying the respective media entity is sent to a second computing device, which is configured to access and display respective media content corresponding to the respective media entity based on the selection information.

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: 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: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for generating settings-related information, such as recommendations, for device settings. A mobile device can perform a plurality of user interface (UI)-related activities. For each UI-related activity of the plurality of UI-related activities, a determination can be made whether the UI-related activity is a settings-related activity. After determining that the UI-related activity is a settings-related activity, the UI-related activity can be marked as a settings-related activity. Data can be logged related to the settings-related activity in a log. A request to access a settings interface can be received. In response to the request to access the settings interface, data related to one or more settings-related activities can be retrieved from the log. Settings-related information can be generated based on the retrieved data and can be displayed using the mobile device.
