A method for tag-based search includes capturing an image, extracting a tag from the image, identifying a location associated with the captured image, and querying stored content for information that matches the location and the tag. Local storage is checked for the information first, and remote storage may be checked subsequently. Any located information may be used to augment the image. Information located in the remote storage may be saved in the local storage until it reaches a certain age, until it fails to be accessed for a threshold period of time, or until the location moves outside a threshold radius associated with a location of the information located in the remote storage.

Aspects of the invention include a computer-implemented method, which includes retrieving an installation protocol for a sensor-based device. Receiving negative feedback data representing negative feedback about directions for a step in the installation protocol. Performing an installation analysis of an installation of the sensor-based device. Amending the directions, based at least in part on the installation analysis.

Guiding the installation process of sensor-based devices

Aspects of the invention include a computer-implemented method that includes detecting, by a processor, a performance of a step of an installation protocol for a sensor-based device. The processor performs a negative outcome analysis comprising determining a likelihood that the performance of the step will cause a negative outcome. Based at least in part on a result of the negative outcome analysis, an interruption alarm is issued.

An RF tag with integrated anti-theft device allows a user, having a mobile device, to perform a secure purchasing application where the user uses the camera of the mobile device to read a barcode of a product and an RF tag with an integrated anti-theft device. The user can select the product he wishes to buy, check the information concerning that product, purchase the product, and disable the anti-theft device to go through a security portal without triggering the alarm.

A method of dynamically adjusting an emergency coordination simulation system includes performing an emergency coordination simulation for a subarea of a geographic region based on expected user behavior in the subarea and environmental variables of the subarea. An emergency notice is transmitted to a plurality of users. A plurality of citizen sensor reports is received from the users via citizen sensor monitoring devices. The devices communicate with a backend system and form a citizen sensor platform. A consistency check is performed on the plurality of citizen sensor reports. The plurality of citizen sensor reports is filtered to remove outliers. An emergency coordination resimulation is performed for the subarea based on the expected user behavior in the subarea, the environmental variables of the subarea, and the filtered plurality of citizen sensor reports. An updated emergency notice is transmitted to the plurality of users based on the emergency coordination resimulation.

Systems and methods are provided for evaluating the quality of automatically composed digital content based on intentional user feedback obtained through a haptic interface. For example, a method includes accessing intentional user feedback collected by a haptic interface executing on a computing device, wherein the intentional user feedback provides an indication as to a user's reaction toward digital content that the user interacts with on the computing device. The digital content includes content that is automatically generated using content generation rules. The method further includes evaluating a quality of the digital content based on the intentional user feedback, and generating an evaluation report that includes information providing an evaluation of the quality of the digital content.

The present invention relates to a system and method for efficiently generating images and videos as an array of objects of interest (e.g., faces and hands, plates, etc.) in a desired resolution to perform vision tasks, such as face recognition, facial expression analysis, detection of hand gestures, among others. The composition of such images and videos takes into account the similarity of objects in the same category to encode them more effectively, providing savings in terms of time transmission and storage. Transmission time is less advantage to such a system in terms of efficiency, while less low cost storage means for storing data.

With a computer processor, access is obtained to a sorted global tuple list of incident types, each tuple of which includes at least an incident identifier, a corresponding incident type, a corresponding context, and a corresponding impact factor. The latter specifies importance of solving the corresponding incident type in the corresponding context. Each tuple of the global tuple list is sorted by decreasing order of impact factor. At the computer processor, context information is obtained for at least one remote computing device; based on the context information and the sorted global tuple list, the computer processor sends, over a telecommunications infrastructure, data which causes an incident reporting display on the remote computing device to be re-ordered in accordance with the impact factors as they are ranked in accordance with the context information for the at least one remote computing device.
