Abstract:
Method, computer program product, and apparatus for providing navigation guidance to vehicles are disclosed. The method may include receiving crowdsourcing data from at least one vehicle, determining the parking information based on one or more locations visited by the at least one vehicle, after the at least one vehicle has reached a destination, and providing the parking information to the at least one vehicle. The crowdsourcing data includes on board diagnostics data (OBD) correlated with time stamps and GPS locations of the at least one vehicle, where the on board diagnostics data includes odometer information, speedometer information, fuel consumption information, steering information, and impact data.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, apparatuses, computer-/processor-readable media, and other implementations for data communication in which data is divided into multiple data blocks, with each of the multiple data blocks including a portion of a respective at least one other of the multiple data blocks to produce multiple corresponding resultant data blocks. Additionally, at least one validation code is generated based on the multiple corresponding resultant data blocks. At least the multiple corresponding resultant data blocks and the at least one validation code are communicated to a remote 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:
Methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory process-readable storage media for a computing device to reversibly obfuscate contents of a digital file includes generating a binary string by applying a shared hash function to a public filename of the digital file. The method may include subdividing the digital file into a first plurality of data segments corresponding to one of a number of bits represented by the generated binary string and a file size of the digital file, shuffling the first plurality of data segments using a shared, looping shuffle algorithm. Each shuffling operation of the shared, looping shuffle algorithm may use a different bit of the generated binary string in a predefined first sequence. The shuffled first plurality of data segments may be combined to obtain a shuffled digital file. A reverse of the method may be performed to obtain the original digital file.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for are provided for providing a navigation route based on network availability. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a request for a navigation route. The method may further include providing the navigation route, the navigation route taking into account accessibility information relating to accessibility of at least one wireless network at different geographic locations along the navigation route and device specific information relating to attributes of a mobile device. The accessibility information may include data collected by different mobile devices at different geographic locations. The accessibility information may also be stored at a centralized server.
Abstract:
An apparatus for testing a device (DUT) includes a peripheral controller configured to communicate with an application embedded in the DUT. The application is configured to run self-diagnostic tests. An audio interface is arranged to transmit audio codes between the apparatus and the DUT on the basis of the tests, wherein the peripheral controller is coupled to the audio interface, being configured to encode and decode the audio codes. A method of testing a DUT includes running a DUT embedded application configured to run self-diagnostic tests. Running the application comprises transmitting encoded audio command signals via an audio interface from a testing apparatus to a microphone configured with the DUT to initiate self diagnostic tests, receiving audio response signals from the DUT generated on the basis of the tests via an audio interface configured with the testing apparatus, and decoding the received audio response signals by a peripheral controller.
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:
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:
Method, apparatus, and system for communicating location of a mobile device are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes determining information at the mobile device from a marker associated with an object, generating a location request in accordance with the determined information, and communicating location information in response to the location request generated.
