    摘要: A system allows an end-user to locate and gain access to an access-controlled facility or resource, such as a restroom, phone charging station, or Wi-Fi hot spot. Some implementations of the system monitor the formation and concentration of individuals into crowds that may place a higher demand on facilities and resources located near the crowd. The system may distribute mobile facilities to areas that offer convenient access to potential developing crowds, and when the system determines that there is a disparity between available resources and crowd demand reaches a certain level it may deploy one or more mobile facilities to positions proximate to that crowd. A mobile facility may also be requested on demand by a user or organizer, and some implementations provide cost sharing mechanisms and other user benefits related to requesting and accessing the facility.

    摘要: Systems and methods provide technology for wayfinding assistance for visually-impaired passengers, including short-range transmitters distributed within a passenger cabin of an aircraft, a transit vehicle or a vessel, each short-range transmitter located proximate to a respective waypoint in the passenger cabin to transmit a signal identifying the respective waypoint in the passenger cabin, and a client application to, responsive to passing within a range of one of the plurality of short-range transmitters, receive a first transmission from the short-range transmitter and emit one or more of a first audible signal or a first haptic signal, based on the first transmission, as wayfinding assistance to a user of the client device. The technology can also include a mid-range transmitter located proximate to a service area in the passenger cabin, to transmit a signal providing at least one of a status of or a location of the service area.
