Abstract:
Disclosed are implementations that include sending to a P2P system, by a first device associated with a first party, a request to obtain use rights for a property belonging to a second party, the first device further associated with a first network address and with a first digital key pair, and the property associated with a second device associated with a second network address and a second digital key pair. The request is processed with the private key of the first device and includes payment data representative of required number of credits to transfer to the second party, the request further including time data representative of a requested starting time and time duration at which use of the property by the first party is to occur. The method further includes communicating, subsequent to sending of the request, with the second device in order to access, by the first party, the property.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for automated information entry in a wireless device may include receiving an input of a sequence of characters. In addition, the methods and apparatus may include identifying a location-related context based on at least a portion of the sequence of characters and obtaining location information of the wireless device in response to identifying the location-related context. The methods and apparatus may also include obtaining a set of one or more landmark information corresponding to the location information of the wireless device and obtaining directional information relative to selected landmark information. The method and apparatus may also include adding the directional information with the selected landmark information to the sequence of characters.
Abstract:
Method, apparatus, and system for communicating location of a mobile device are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of communicating location of a mobile device includes determining information, at the mobile device, from a radio frequency tag associated with an object, generating a location request in accordance with the determined information, comprising processing the information from the radio frequency tag to determine encoded data and generating a SET initiated location request in accordance with the encoded data, and communicating location information in response to the location request generated.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to techniques that may reduce power consumption and improve user experience when using a personal navigation device or other mobile device to navigate along familiar routes or road segments. In particular, in response to a current position associated with the device corresponding to a familiar road segment (e.g., based on an index indicating how often the road segment was previously traversed), voice assistance and a display may be disabled and/or a frequency at which a receiver acquires signals to determine the current position may be reduced. Furthermore, a navigation application executing on the device may be automatically exited if the familiar road segment further includes a route destination. In other use cases, road segment familiarity and travel histories may be used in route planning, managing incoming calls or messages, and media playback, among other things.
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:
Disclosed are methods, systems, devices, apparatuses, computer-/processor-readable media, and other implementations, including a method for data communication that includes dividing data into multiple data blocks, including, for each of the multiple data blocks, a portion of a respective at least one other of the multiple data blocks to produce multiple corresponding resultant data blocks, generating at least one validation code based on the multiple corresponding resultant data blocks, and communicating to a remote device at least the multiple corresponding resultant data blocks and the at least one validation code.
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.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed to use location information for a client device to selectively access hidden access point information such as service set identifiers (SSIDs) stored on a remote server on the basis of the location information. Using the hidden access point information, the client device may form an association with a hidden access point. The client device may use an integrated location determining system to obtain the location information.
