  • Patent number: 9817849
    Abstract: An image identifying method for offline and online synchronous operation is disclosed. When the mobile device focuses on an recognition target, images frames of an recognition target are retrieved and sent to an recognition server. The mobile device executes an offline recognition operation, and synchronously an recognition server executes an online recognition operation. A plurality of the matching data is saved in the mobile device, and a plurality of recognition data is saved in an recognition server, wherein the recognition data larger than the matching data. When the mobile device firstly generates the recognition result, the recognition result is displayed for user searching reference. If the mobile device receives an recognition result from the recognition server before the mobile device completing the recognition, the recognition result replied form the recognition server is displayed on the display monitor.

  • Patent number: 9690368
    Abstract: Product and/or item customization based on physiological data is described. One or more sensors worn by a person or a group of people and/or attached with one or more items may generate sensor data. Data characterizing one or more physiological attributes of the person or group may be determined based at least in part on the generated sensor data. Item customization may include a customized design. For example, the customized design may include one or more personalized graphics generated based on the physiological data, and/or one or more customized item components with parameters set based on the physiological data. The customized design may be provided to an item customization facility for presentation, assembly and/or manufacture. Item customization may further include selecting for consideration a set of matching items based at least in part on the physiological data.

  • Patent number: 9639888
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing interactive notifications for completing online transactions. In some embodiments, a processing device determines that completing an online transaction initiated at a mobile device requires fewer than a threshold number of operations. The processing device also generates an interface for obtaining input to initiate at least one subsequent operation for completing the online transaction. The interface is generated based on determining that completing the online transaction requires fewer than the threshold number of operations. The processing device configures the mobile device to display the interface and to receive the input using the interface for completing the transaction.

  • Patent number: 9600847
    Abstract: Fueling transactions (and other types of transactions) may be verified for legitimacy and validity by recording audio, video and/or images of the transaction as it occurs. The recordings may then be indexed according to one or more transaction parameters such as a driver identifier, a vehicle or transportation unit identifier, an invoice number, a fueling station and the like. A carrier associated with a driver and/or vehicle or other transportation unit may specify which transactions are to be recorded. Accordingly, the fueling station may automatically determine whether to record a transaction upon receiving a transaction initiation request. Transaction recordings may be made based on transaction recordation parameters defined by a carrier and stored and indexed based on transaction storing parameters.
