Abstract: In a method for charging an electric device by a service rendering system, a controller of the service rendering system receives an image that includes a label corresponding to the electric device, captured by an image sensor. The controller obtains a service point location included in the label and calculates a service point position of an electric charging input of the electric device using the service point location. The controller renders an electric charging service at the service point position of the electric charging input.

Abstract: A tracking system obtains first recognized object and its first information, detected in image(s) captured by camera(s). The first information includes the first recognized object's first features, first feature locations, first real-world dimensions, and a first time. A list of tracking objects is obtained, each including a second recognized object and its second information. The second information includes the second recognized object's second features, second feature locations, and second real-world dimensions. The system compares the first features with the second features stored in a given tracking object, the first feature locations with the second feature locations, and the first real-world dimensions with the second real-world dimensions. When they match, the first information comprising the first time is stored in the given tracking object.

Abstract: A mobile computing device stand with a holder for a mobile computing device with a media player for conducting an audio session and back speakers positioned in the seat behind a location where a user is expected to be positioned and next to the seat. The back speakers include a first set positioned at a first side of the seat and a second set positioned at a second side of the seat opposite the first side of the seat. The first and second sets includes first and second inward back speakers facing toward the location and first and second outward back speakers facing away from the location. A system controller receives audio signals with audio of an audio session, sends the audio signals to the first and second inward back speakers, and sends the audio signals in an out of phase manner to the first and second outward back speakers.

Abstract: A delivery system securely delivers an electronic document from a sender device to a recipient device over a data network, where the delivery system stores a delivery container from the sender device containing the electronic document, a recipient identity of the recipient device, a plurality of locations comprising a first location and a second location. The delivery system determines a first current geo-physical location of the delivery storage, compares the first current geo-physical location with the first location, and in response to a match, stores the delivery container in the delivery storage. The delivery system further receives a request to access the electronic document from the recipient device, obtains a second current geo-physical location of the recipient device, compares the second current geo-physical location with the second location, and in response to a match, sends the electronic document to the recipient device.

Abstract: A secure transport device includes a hardware storage, a physical lock coupled to the hardware storage, a data storage residing within the hardware storage, the data storage comprising a destination location comprising a first geophysical location, processor(s), and a computer readable medium comprising programming instructions. The data storage includes a destination location that includes a first geophysical location. Execution of the programming instructions causes the processor(s) to: receive an access request to access the hardware storage; obtain a current location of the secure transport device, the current location including a second geophysical location; and compare the first geophysical location to the second geophysical location. Upon determining that the second geophysical location matches the first geophysical location, a command is sent to unlock the physical lock to allow access to the hardware storage, and the access request and the current location are stored in the data storage.

Abstract: A phone stand includes a phone holder for coupling to a phone, where the phone is for conducting a voice session. The phone stand further includes a plurality of directional speakers positioned to project sound to a focused audio area corresponding to a location where a user is expected to be positioned, a plurality of back speakers positioned behind the location where the user is expected to be positioned, and a system controller. The system controller is configured to: receive audio signals, where the audio signals includes audio of the voice session from the phone; separate the audio signals into speech signals and non-speech signals; obtain one or more output mixing attributes; generate mixed signals by combining the speech signals and the non-speech signals according to the one or more output mixing attributes; and send the mixed signals to the plurality of directional speakers.

Abstract: In providing secure data access, a secure data device receives a data access request to access secured data stored in a storage of the secure data device. A location module of the secure data device calculates a current location of the secure data device. A secure data module of the secure data device compares the current location and a pre-stored location stored in the secure data device. Upon determining that the current location matches the pre-stored location, the secure data module retrieves the secure data from the storage and processes the secure data. The processed secure data is sent as available data in response to the data access request. Upon determining that the current location does not match the pre-stored location, the secure data module retrieves the secure data and processes the secure data in a manner that renders the available data unusable.

Abstract: In a playing of media content among multiple devices, a first device creates a first progress information associated with a media content and the first device. The first progress information includes a current progress in a playing of the media content by the first device. When a second device receives an instruction to play the media content, the second device obtains the first progress information from the first device, creates a second progress information associated with the media content and the second device based on the first progress information, fetches the media content based on the second progress information, and plays the media content using the second progress information. In this manner, a progress in playing the media content is tied to the device playing the media content, and this progress may be shared with another device in the playing of the media content on the other device.
