Selection of a content presentation can involve obtaining a message representative of a plurality of terms including a first term and a second term, wherein the first term indicates a first capability required for a first content presentation and the second term indicates a second capability required for a second content presentation; and enabling selection of a content presentation from among at least the first and second content presentations available based on a content signal, wherein the selection is based on the message.

Systems, devices and methods to enhance delivery and presentation of content

A method and apparatus for parking lot metering. The present invention allows multi-space meters to separately manage and control premium parking spaces, such as those for charging electric vehicles or those which supply electric power for engine block heaters in both pay-by-space and pay-an-display systems. Such premium spaces can be managed together over large areas (e.g., a city or region), or may be managed over smaller areas (e.g., the domain of an individual kiosk), or individually per parking space. Management includes pricing, time limits, hours, seasons of operation, and restrictions by vehicle type, and alternative pricing and restrictions for non-premium hours.

Method and apparatus for parking lot metering

Apparatus, methods and systems associated with electronic devices can involve determining a plurality of available services providing content, wherein each service has an associated content format; determining an order of the plurality of available services, based on the content format of each service and a sequence of switching between the plurality of available services, to reduce a transition time when switching, based on the sequence, from a first one of the plurality of available services to a second one of the plurality of services different from the first one; generating, based on the order, a list of the plurality of available services representing a program guide, wherein the first and second services are adjacent in the program guide; and enabling, based on the program guide, switching from the first service to the second service.

System, apparatus and methods providing a user interface

A location-based, multiuser, collaborative augmented reality (AR) system employs individual AR devices for viewing real-world anchors, that is, physical models that are recognizable to the camera and image processing module of the AR device. To mitigate ambiguous configurations when used in the collaborative mode, each anchor is registered with a server to ensure that only uniquely recognizable anchors are simultaneously active at a particular location. The system permits collaborative AR to span multiple sites, by associating a portal with an anchor at each site. Using the location of their corresponding AR device as a proxy for their position, AR renditions of the other participating users are provided. This AR system is particularly well suited for games.

Location-based augmented reality method

An access device is provided for use in an access control system. The access device includes a processor having control of a door lock, and a communication module connected to the processor. The processor is able to receive a reservation certificate presented by a portable terminal through the communication module. The processor activates the door lock when the current reservation certificate has been presented and disables an alarm system when the current reservation certificate has been presented.

Digital certificate and reservation

A system and method for wirelessly generating a roster of drivers and passengers in transportation vehicles. A driver's or passenger's smartphone can communicate using short-range communications with the vehicle, or a smartphone in the vehicle, so that the ID associated with the phone can be linked to a vehicle ID, date and time stamped, and stored in a log or database. Any unauthorized person can be refused admittance (by not permitting the vehicle to start or otherwise being denied the right to be a driver or passenger). A downloaded application is used for this purpose. The invention also can include a secure, remote database as well as a mobile device such as a smartphone running the application, a wireless receiver/transmitter in the vehicle, and a wireless communication network such as a cellular network.

System and method for wirelessly rostering a vehicle

An access control system for electric vehicle charging is provided that includes an access device, a secure reservation interface, a reservation server and a smartphone application installed on the smartphone. The access device includes a short-range wireless communication module connected to a processor having control of an electric vehicle charger. The secure reservation interface receives a reservation request for a reservation at a given destination. The reservation server receives the reservation request for the destination, issues a reservation certificate, and transmits the reservation certificate from the reservation server to a smartphone. The smartphone application has access to a short range wireless communication setting corresponding to the access device. The access device receives the reservation certificate from the smartphone application based on use by the smartphone application of the short-range wireless communication setting. The processor activates the electric vehicle charger based on at least the receipt of the reservation certificate.

Access control system for electric vehicle charging

A method for range of motion (ROM) tracking, that determines with a ROM tracking system, an exercise identified by a caregiver to be performed by a subject by positioning a sensor of the ROM tracking system to allow the sensor to detect at least one movement by the subject during a performance of the exercise, and then detecting, through the sensor, at least one movement of the subject. The system further analyzes the movement by the subject to determine a range of motion of the at least one movement; recording through a user interface an indication by the subject of an experiential narrative; and finally, providing a report to the caregiver, where the report contains the results of at least one movement in conjunction with at least a portion of the experiential narrative.

Range of motion tracking system

Methods and apparatuses of providing and receiving audio content are described. The method of providing audio content includes receiving a first audio content from a first user, processing the first audio content based on a first viewing direction for the first user facing at least one section of an audiovisual content and on a second viewing direction for a second user facing at least one section of the audiovisual content, and providing the processed first audio content. The audiovisual content may be an immersive reality content. A computer-readable storage medium, computer program and a non-transitory article of manufacture are described.

Method and apparatus for providing audio content in immersive reality

A multiuser, collaborative augmented reality (AR) system employs individual AR devices for viewing real-world anchors, that is, physical models that are recognizable to the camera and image processing module of the AR device. To mitigate ambiguous configurations when used in the collaborative mode, each anchor is registered with a server to ensure that only uniquely recognizable anchors are simultaneously active at a particular location. The system permits collaborative AR to span multiple sites, by associating a portal with an anchor at each site. Using the location of their corresponding AR device as a proxy for their position, AR renditions of the other participating users are provided. This AR system is particularly well suited for games.

Multiuser augmented reality method

A system and method for managing vehicle charging stations such that when at least two of a plurality of electric vehicle charging stations (also known as electric vehicle service equipment, or EVSE) occupied with vehicles awaiting a charge, the present system manages the charging of individual vehicles in cases where the aggregated demand for charging exceeds the capacity of the circuits supplying the plurality of EVSE. By cycling so that only a few of the vehicles are charging at a time, the demand on the circuits is kept below a predetermined limit. In cases where a load shedding event is in progress, the limit can be further reduced. In cases where the cost of electricity is varying dynamically, the system considers a driver's explicit charging requirements (if any) and preferences for opportunistic charging when the price of electricity is not too high.
