    摘要: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to presenting a virtual representation of a user's environment based on activity in the user's environment. In some embodiments, a system comprises one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors are located about the user's environment and configured to detect the activity within the user's environment and transmit, to a control circuit, indications of the activity, the control circuit configured to receive, from the one or more sensors, the indications of the activity within the user's environment, generate the virtual representation of the user's environment, and render, based on the indications of the activity, the virtual representation of the user's environment to include representations of the activity within the user's environment, and a display device, the display device configured to present the virtual representation of the user's environment including the representations of the activity within the user's environment.

    摘要: A system is described that includes a marker on a product being purchased at a point of sale. This marker provides the information on the product, but also its estimated replacement date. The information is sent to a management system which stores it in a memory storage device, the system then sends a reminder to the customer's portable computing device to remind him/her that it is time to repurchase the product. Optionally, the customer can ‘opt in’ to allow the system to automatically purchase the product when it determines that it is time to repurchase the product. In another embodiment, the product has sensors which measure wear. Product sensors are located at entrances to building and other locations which receive readings from the wear detection devices on the product. These readings indicate when it is time to replace the product. The customer is notified, and if the customer previously opted-in, the system purchases a replacement product.

    摘要: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein including: at least one user product with at least one passive sensor; at least one network reader configured to expose the user product to energy and measure reflections of the energy from the at least one passive sensor; and a control circuit operably coupled to the network reader. The control circuit configured to receive an initial signal reading of the at least one passive sensor from the network reader; save the initial signal reading in a user profile in a profile database; receive a reading of one or more reflections of the energy from the at least one passive sensor; and compare the reading of the one or more reflections with one or more profile readings associated with the at least one user product and the at least one passive sensor to determine a degree of wear of the user product.
