Abstract:
Techniques for locating and identifying mobile devices are described. According to various embodiments, an ambient sound signal may be detected using a microphone of a mobile device. Thereafter, it may be determined that the ambient sound signal corresponds to a predefined user query for assistance in locating the mobile device. For the, a predefined response sound corresponding to the predefined user query may be emitted, using a speaker of the mobile device.
Abstract:
There are provided systems and methods for location detection devices for use in a courier services network. A first user may travel to a location for a particular reason, such as item purchases or appointments. While at the location, the user may be identified at the location by a server offering courier services to a seller and a second user purchasing items from the seller. Based on the first user's reason for traveling to the location and other indicia of trustworthiness or fraud, the server may determine whether the first user can be trusted as a courier. If the user is trusted as a courier, the server may update the first user and the seller to arrange delivery of the item to another location set by the second user. The first user may also be provided with additional items for the second user to deliver to further locations.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for sharing customer traffic between merchants include a system provider device that may establish an alliance between a first merchant at a first merchant location and a second merchant at a second merchant location. The system provider device detects events associated with the first merchant that satisfy one or more merchant activity rules. The system provider may also determine an availability of the second merchant to service one or more customers. Thereafter, the system provider device refers at least one customer at the first merchant location to the second merchant at the second merchant location. In addition, the system provider device may receive bids from a plurality of allied merchants for the referral of the at least one customer, may credit a first merchant account based on a transaction with a referred customer at the second merchant location, and may recognize opportunities for merchant alliances.

There are provided systems and methods for communication device interfaces providing courier service information. A first user may travel to a location for a particular reason, such as item purchases or appointments. While at the location, the user may be identified at the location by a server offer courier services to a seller and a second user purchasing items from the seller.

Abstract:
Systems and methods of returning location and/or event results using information mined from non-textual information are provided. Non-textual information is captured using a hardware component of a user device. Text-based social media content input on the user device is then retrieved. A location of the user device is determined using a global positioning system module in the user device. The non-textual information is converted to a machine-analyzable format, and the converted non-textual information is compared to a database of converted non-textual information samples to analyze and classify the converted non-textual information. The classification is sent to a server for storage in a database in a manner that ties the classification to the geographical location of the user device.
