  • Patent number: 11639878
    Abstract: In various example embodiments, devices, systems, and methods for a waist measuring belt are provided. An example waist measuring belt is made up of a belt buckle frame with attachments for a belt strap. The belt further includes a position measuring module coupled to the belt buckle frame that measures an attachment position of a second end of the belt strap to the belt buckle frame. The belt also includes a tension measuring module coupled to the belt buckle frame that measures a tension through the belt buckle frame and the belt strap. A memory and a wireless communication module attached to the belt may be used to store measurements and communicate with a mobile device or server. In various embodiments, estimated user waist sizes over time using measured values and belt-specific data may be used to estimate a user's waist size and generate a waist size history.

  • Patent number: 11449304
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an audio device include a system provider device that retrieves, through a network, audio device information for at least one audio device. The system provider device also receives an indication of a triggered alert from at least one of a plurality of devices. In various embodiments, the system provider device determines an alert type corresponding to the received indication of the triggered alert. In addition, the system provider device modifies an audio setting of the at least one audio device based on the determined alert type. In some examples, the system provider device further modifies the audio setting of the at least one audio device to return the modified audio setting of the at least one audio device to a pre-modified setting.

  • Patent number: 11368615
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for modifying image parameters of an image to be captured by an image capturing device based on input from a wearable computing device. In some embodiments, the system receives image data, determines an image parameter based on the image data, and receives data from a wearable computing device positioned proximate to a subject of the image. The system modifies the image parameter based on the data received from the wearable computing device and captures the image data using the modified image parameter.

  • Publication number: 20210406900
    Abstract: A system is configured to perform operations that include receiving first device information corresponding to a consumer device of a _Sonsumer, where the first device information is collected by a merchant application of a_specmerchant in response to a payment transaction request being initiated between the consumer and the merchant. The operations further include determining that the first device information fails to satisfy a risk analysis threshold for performing a risk analysis process and in response, transmitting a push communication to the consumer device. The push communication includes instructions that cause the consumer device to automatically transmit, to the system, second device information corresponding to the consumer device. Additionally, the operations include based on the second device information, executing the risk analysis process with respect to the payment transaction request.
