Abstract: A network of modular, multitier pool mobile units, that wander around and under water of a swimming pool. The pool mobile units monitor for safety, emergency and accident related events and undertake appropriate actions to provide care and protection for swimmers, family members and bystanders. They scrub and clean the swimming pool bottom and wall surfaces and emit chemical agents to sanitize the swimming pool water. A central server provides safety monitoring help for drowning swimmers, and emergency and accident supports.

Abstract: A network of modular, multitier pool mobile units, that wander around and under water of a swimming pool. The pool mobile units monitor for safety, emergency and accident related events and undertakes appropriate actions, scrub and clean the swimming pool, emit chemical agents to sanitize the swimming pool water, and may play music. The pool mobile units may simply operate on the pool surface, be fully submersible, or semisubmersible. A central server manages a plurality of multitier pool mobile units in a plurality of swimming pools, supports music download, and provides experience based resources for the multitier pool mobile units. The central server provides experience based resources in the form of safety, emergency and accident supports. The user can configure the parameters of both pool mobile unit and the central server.

Abstract: A system for mobile devices that facilitates the creation and dissemination of interactive advertisements to a plurality of mobile devices. A computer or PC comprising an interactive media creator is used to generate interactive advertisements and communicate it to a distribution server. Mobile devices have an interactive media client component to receive and present interactive media, such as these interactive advertisements, to a user. User response is collected, user interaction is monitored and reported. Charging for distributing advertisements is supported.

Abstract: A multi-tired, modular, electronic system which utilizes restricted usage management. In a multi-tiered environment, lower tiered systems contain, based on configuration, mobile units that are capable of performing simple tasks such as lawnmowers, vacuum cleaners, mobile audio/video players to more complex ones capable of performing as human assistants such as robots. Higher tiered systems typically reside in the cloud. Lower tiered mobile units contain modular sensors such as temperature sensor and image/video cameras that generate vast amount of data. The lower tiered mobile units also contain modular emitters that consume vast amount of data. Restrictions for the usage of these mobile units are sent, in the form of metadata, to the lower tiered mobile units, from an intermediate to higher tiered control devices and the rendering app may limit the usage. The intermediate tiered renderer can interact to make sure rules have been followed.

Abstract: A pool cover system, with pool mobile units, to monitor a swimming pool and cover the pool when instructed. The pool cover system and the mobile units also monitor for safety, emergency and accident related events and undertake appropriate actions to provide care and protection for swimmers, family members and bystanders. A central server provides safety monitoring, help for drowning swimmers, and emergency and accident supports.

Abstract: A secure drop box comprises a processing circuitry that directs the container portion of the secure drop box containing the delivery item to open up for easy withdrawal of the item. The secure drop box directs the drone to approach it along a predetermined path. The secure drop box communicates a notification indicating receipt of the delivery item when the drone has delivered the item into the secure drop box. The notification comprises a digital image taken by a camera disposed inside or on top of the container portion of the secure drop box. The processing circuitry directs the drone to deliver the delivery item at an alternate drop box when the secure drop box is determined to already contain a previously delivered item.
