Abstract: Social media networking applications, web sites, and services creates implicit relationships between users based on their interest or participation in real-world and optionally virtual or online activities in addition to explicitly defined peer relationships. User profiles, activity entities, and expressions may be associated with metadata to assist in searching and navigation. Metadata is implicitly associated with user profiles, activity entities, expressions, or other data entities based on user behavior using metadata collector. A metadata collector is a poll, survey, list, questionnaire, census, test, game, or other type of presentation adapted to solicit user interaction. A metadata collector is associated with metadata elements. When users interact with a metadata collector, their user profiles and the data entities included in their interactions become associated with the metadata elements of the metadata collector. These metadata element associations may then be used for any purpose.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for controlling hotel in-room safes. The invention comprises a control computer that controls the operation of each in-room safe by transmitting enable or disable commands over a wireless transmission link to a receiver-controller installed in each safe. The use of the safe is enabled or disabled when a guest calls a predetermined telephone number that is interpreted as a command to enable or disable the in-room safe. Each receiver-controller is battery-powered and a technique is employed by the system to conserve battery power by transmitting commands to safes at a predetermined time. Each safe turns on its wireless receiver only at the predetermined time and turns off its receiver after receiving the command thereby conserving the life of the battery.
