The present technology provides a system that enables a user to communicate with one of multiple devices in a network based on context information from another device in the network. The system includes a context manager configured to (1) receive context information from the multiple devices; (2) identify a subject-of-interest based on a user input; (3) determine a set of relevant context information based on the subject-of-interest and the received context information; and (4) transmitting the set of relevant context information to a target device to perform a task associated with the subject-of-interest. The context information managed by the present technology enables a user to conveniently interact with the multiple devices in the network without requiring the user to provide details of his/her instructions.

Context management for multiple devices

This disclosure provides methods and systems for performing authentication in a virtual reality environment. In some implementations, the system receives a request for access to a virtual reality financial center requiring authentication from a user. The system can collect user identification information that identifies the user and verification information required to verify the user's identity via a virtual reality platform.

Authentication in a virtual reality environment

Methods and systems described in this disclosure are directed at delivery of educational concepts for increasing the financial literacy of youths. In some embodiments, a mobile application program is disclosed that facilitates management of tasks assigned to youths, setting up a rewards program for participants that complete tasks successfully on time, integrating different types of data from various devices to determine whether an assigned task is successfully completed. In some embodiments, the disclosed platform can integrate with electronic payment systems managed by external third parties for rewarding youths on successfully completing the task.

Systems and methods for managing tasks using the internet of things

Techniques are described for cross-device authorization using a wireless network connection. Computing device(s) may broadcast an identification signal indicating that the device is authorized to access a remote service, and is therefore available to provide an authorization token to a receiving device. The receiving device may determine one of the broadcasting device(s) to use for cross-device authorization. The receiving device may send a request, to the determined broadcasting device, for an authorization token to access the remote service. The broadcasting device may receive the request and transmit a message to a server device indicating that an authorization token is to be provided to the receiving device. Alternatively, the authorization token may be sent directly from the broadcasting device to the receiving device (e.g., over the wireless communication network). On receiving the authorization token, the receiving device may use it to access the remote service.
