Inventors:

Stephen Bryant STATLER - San Diego CA, US
Eric Robert KRAAR - Atlanta GA, US

International Classification:

H04W 4/00

US Classification:

4554142

Abstract:

Apparatus and methods are described herein for optimizing an object search. A communications device may be configured to initiate a request for a data set. The communications device may transmit its current location to a server, for example, which may return a data set including data representing each of one or more objects that may be located within a first search area proximate to the current location of the communications device. The communications device may then perform a search for an object of interest by comparing the data representing each of the one or more objects in the data set to data representing the object of interest.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707769, 707E17014

Abstract:

By adaptive questioning in a way that is entertaining, recommendations can be presented to a subscriber even with a limited amount of user profile information. Moreover, the questioning can allow a subscriber to learn something about himself. Each interaction can be short as well as light hearted and fun in order to accommodate intermittent usage with frequent interruptions. Intermixing questions/recommendation selections that are focused on gaining profile information as well as being somewhat random can unexpectedly learn something about the subscriber while keeping the user experience entertaining. Personal details can be avoided and tools for editing stored personal information can enhance a sense of privacy in order to induce trust. Questions and other responses can lead to other questions in a manner that allows characterizing a subscriber so that recommended offerings can be selected that are appropriate.

Abstract:

A system and method of detecting a pick-up of an item are provided. The method includes receiving at least one data packet from at least one IoT tag, extracting a frequency word from the at least one received data packet, wherein the frequency word is a measure of the at least one IoT, analyzing the frequency word to determine a pick-up event to be associated with a pick-up of the item attached to the at least one IoT tag, and upon detecting the pick-up event, sending a notification including an identification of the at least one IoT tag, wherein the notification incudes collateral product information associated with the picked-up item attached to the at least one IoT tag, and displaying the collateral product information of the picked-up item on a display on a physical location of the picked-up item.

Abstract:

A system and method for detecting a pick-up of an item and processing payment based on the detected pick-up are provided. The method includes receiving at least one data packet from at least one Internet of Things (IoT) tag, wherein each of the least IoT tag is attached to an item, extracting a frequency word from the at least one received data packet, wherein the frequency word is a measure of the at least one IoT tag, analyzing the frequency word to determine a pick-up event to be associated with a pick-up of the item attached to the at least one IoT tag, upon detecting the pick-up event, sending a notification including an identification of the at least one IoT tag, wherein the notification includes information associated with the picked-up item attached to the at least one IoT tag, prompting a user to purchase the picked-up item, and upon the user selecting to purchase the item, and associating a user's purchase account with the picked-up item; and commencing checkout of the item upon detecting the user exiting a location where the item is sold.

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for managing carbon emission credits associated with a vehicle fueling at a fuel dispensing station. An exemplary method comprises: receiving a request via a communications network for a vehicle fueling transaction at a fuel dispensing station; determining a pump identifier associated with the fuel dispensing station; sending a message to a store controller associated with the pump identifier for a fuel amount dispensed by the fuel dispensing station; receiving the fuel amount from the store controller; receiving on-board diagnostics (OBD) data associated with the vehicle; calculating a carbon emission adjustment based on the OBD data; and determining an estimated carbon emissions amount associated with the vehicle fueling transaction by applying the carbon emission adjustment to a predetermined carbon emissions amount for the fuel amount.
