An application executing on a mobile device generates a geo-positional query including a time stamp representing the time of the query. The application can be, for example, an augmented reality application, a pointing search application, or a mapping application that searches based on geolocation and/or physical proximity. The query can include, in addition to a location, one or more of a direction, orientation, and camera field of view of the mobile device. A system processes the query to return a time-based state of an object and/or location addressed by the mobile device at the time of the query. The system can use the time stamp to identify which objects may have been located at a certain location at a certain time and/or to identify the state of located objects at a certain time. For example, the state of an electronic billboard can identify an advertisement displayed at the time.

Geographic address query with associated time of inquiry

Systems and methods for the accessing of information that may be associated with static or dynamic geo-located objects, which objects may or may not have corresponding real world counterparts, utilize attributes including of one or more angles of directional access associated with the geo-located objects. Information available to a user of a mobile device can be varied depending upon an angle of directional access derived from the mobile device's real world position and pointing direction in relation to the real world position and orientation of the geo-located objects.

Sector-based retrieval of information associated with geographic locations

A portable electronic device determines a battery available power for the device's battery and manages device power usage based upon the battery available power. The device includes a battery and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a first voltage value for the battery at a first time, a first current value for the battery, a second voltage value for the battery at a second time, and a second current value for the battery. It is determined that a time difference between the first time and the second time exceeds a predetermined time threshold. An estimated resistance of the battery is determined based at least on a first difference between the first current value and the second current value and a second difference between the first voltage value and the second voltage value. Real-time power usage of the device is controlled based on the estimated resistance of the battery.

Method for determining battery available power for an electronic device

A computer implemented method is disclosed for providing a platform for recognizing tabular data created by a plurality of applications and stored in different formats and/or organized by different standards. The tabular data comprises data within one or more rows of one or more input columns. The method comprises executing on one or more processors the steps of (a) determining one or more boundary sets for data from a data source, each set defining boundaries for header row data and data within a body row of an input column, (b) selecting a boundary set of the one or more boundary sets, (c) calculating a header score for a header row data of the input column of a boundary set, the score representing the extent to which the header row data resembles a header of a standard column, and (d) calculating an initial data score for data of an input column that represents the extent to which the data within body rows of the input column resembles the data of a standard column.

System and method of providing a platform for recognizing tabular data

A power source, designed to be bent or flexed during use, may include a layer of anode material having a length greater than a layer of cathode material to accommodate for movement of the cathode or anode layers during flexing of the power source. An enclosure containing the cathode and anode materials may include an inner protective layer proximate to the cathode and anode layers and a water-impermeable layer external to the inner protective layer. The water-impermeable layer may have a pleated or corrugated configuration that may be extended when the power source is bent under application of a flexure stress, preventing damage or deformation to the water-impermeable layer.

Flexible battery device

A system includes a cache, coupled to a receiver, to store received content and advertisements. An interface in the receiver detects the occurrence of an advantageous condition during the play of content retrieved from the cache. The receiver locates one or more advertisements in the cache, and enables the display of a user interface in place of the content so long as the advantageous condition is detected. The user interface includes selectable indicia of the located advertisements and an indicia of the content. The interface is adapted to locate one or more advertisements using markers that are inserted into the content by the interface, and pointers to the one or more advertisements associated with the markers, the pointers having a stored association to the markers.

Providing content interruptions

A system includes a receiver to receive content and an advertisement. The system further includes a cache, coupled to the receiver, to store the content and the advertisement. An interface in the receiver receives an updated advertisement and updating instructions, the updating instructions to enable the receiver to replace the stored advertisement with the updated advertisement. The receiver detects a starting point of the advertisement and creates a marker and inserts it into the content to indicate said starting point, and stores the advertisement from the content to a memory storage location separate from the content, and creates and stores a pointer to the memory location. The interface detects a user-initiated pause in the viewing of content, retrieves the updated advertisement from storage, and provides a user interface that enables the user to view the retrieved advertisement for as long as the viewing of the content remains paused. The receiver is configured to overlay the retrieved advertisement with material descriptive of upcoming content in the received content.
