    摘要: Example embodiments relate to devices for media handoff. An example device includes a first transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals to communicate with a second transceiver of a handoff device. The signals are indicative of an orientation and a position of the first transceiver relative to the second transceiver. The device also includes an inertial measurement unit configured to measure changes in angular orientation or position of the device. Additionally, the device includes a memory. The memory stores a first set of instructions. Further, the device includes a processor communicatively coupled to the first transceiver, the inertial measurement unit, and the memory. The processor is configured to execute the first of instructions to cause the handoff device to output a piece of media.

    摘要: To provide media content tailored to a user's route, a computing device receives a request for navigation directions to a destination location, and obtains a set of navigation directions for traveling on a route to the destination location. The computing device also obtains candidate media content items to play during the route, and selects one or more of the candidate media content items to play during the route based on characteristics of the candidate media content items and characteristics of the route. Then the computing device provides the set of navigation directions and an indication of the selected one or more media content items to a user for presentation during the route. The selected one or more media content items are automatically presented upon receiving a selection by the user to initiate a navigation session for traveling along the route in accordance with the set of navigation directions.

    摘要: Systems, data access management utilities, and methods generate links between local merchants and community programs, whereby the merchant may provide incentives to customers in relation to community programs. The implementations may track community programs, as well as online and offline customer transactions with merchants that make use of the incentive. Implementations may include as participants, customers, merchants, community organizations, intermediaries, and other groups or individuals. Participants may have participant identifiers, which may be linked to a payment source. Data may be collected about all participants, either expressly, or from offline or online transactions between merchants and customers utilizing a participant identifier, and the data may be stored in a data storage area. All data in the data storage area may be utilized by a logic tool, which may provide information, such as details of customers that view a broadcast of content that is interleaved with a merchant's advertisement and analytic reporting. Matches between transactions with a merchant and a customer that view a broadcast of content that is interleaved with the merchant's advertisement may be identified by the system, and a level of certainty that the match is accurate may be determined.

    摘要: Systems, methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to facilitate playback of multimedia content are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a network interface configured to receive audio content over a playback network. A processor comprising instructions which when executed, cause the processor to detect that a portable playback device has joined the playback network. The processor is to update a state variable to indicate that the portable playback device has joined the playback network. The processor is to play audio content received over the playback network based on the state variable. The processor is to detect that the portable playback device is not joined to the playback network. The processor is to, after detecting that the portable playback device is not joined to the playback network, update the state variable to indicate that the portable playback device is not joined to the playback network.

    摘要: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for investigating an insurance claim. A system may be configured to perform operations including establishing a video conferencing session with a mobile device associated with an insurance product and providing a user interface configured to provide a claims adjuster with remote control of a set of functions on the mobile device associated with the insurance product during the video conferencing session. The operations further include receiving, via the user interface, instructions for requesting the mobile device to perform at least one function in the set of functions on the mobile device and transmitting, to the mobile device, a request to perform the at least one function on the mobile device.
