  • Publication number: 20180128626
    Abstract: A request for a route guide to a destination in a building is received from a user terminal device. BIM data for the building is received, including material properties of the building elements, the material properties consisting of ease of slipping when wet, earthquake resistance, and flame retardancy base values. Security information for a route, real-time information for building status, and a user profile are received. A route guide to the destination in the building is created, based the BIM data, security information, real-time building status, and the user profile. Information from one or more environmental sensors is received indicating that an environmental event has been detected. Its current position is received from the user terminal device. The route guide from the user terminal device's current position is updated based on the environmental event, and the material properties of the building elements that are related to the environmental event.

  • Patent number: 9939274
    Abstract: Providing a route guide to a destination using building information modeling (BIM) data. A request from a user for a route guide to a destination in a building is received. BIM data for the building, security information for a route, and a user profile of the user that requested the route guide to the destination is received. A route guide to the destination in the building is created, based at least on the BIM data, security information, and the user profile. Creating the route guide may be further based on use restriction information, including time, weight, operation, impassable information, information related to the method of using the facility equipment, or precaution information when using the facility equipment. The route guide may include a method of using the facility equipment in the building, a method of operating, a direction of operation, a method of unlocking or locking, or precaution information.

  • Patent number: 9928489
    Abstract: When a split amount decided by a representative splitting, in a representative terminal, a total amount transmitted from a store terminal is notified from each member terminal to a credit company server as a payment amount, the credit company server holds information for payment settlement, and transmits payment permission information including encrypted information generated by encrypting the information for payment settlement, to each member terminal. Each member terminal transmits payment permission information of the same contents as the payment permission information to the representative terminal. The representative terminal transmits payment permission information obtained by concatenating the payment permission information, to the store terminal.

  • Publication number: 20170164198
    Abstract: A virtual machine (VM) server may be used to enforce a set of security criteria upon a remote client device. The VM server may be configured to host a VM that has features that can be utilized by a user at the remote client device. The VM server may receive sensor data collected by one or more sensors of a remote sensor device. The VM server may identify that the sensor data satisfies at least a portion of the set of security criteria. The VM server may further identify that the remote client device is within a predetermined proximity of the remote sensor device. The VM server may further enable a user at the remote client device to utilize the features of the VM hosted on the VM server.

  • Publication number: 20170161272
    Abstract: A computer identifies social media displayed by a social media platform. The computer determines that a user has viewed the social media and saves the viewed social media in associated with the view date/time. The computer identifies and saves the interests associated with the user at the date/time the social media post was viewed by referencing the user profile and recent social media activity of both the user and associated users. The computer receives a social media query and cluster period from the user in regards to a previously viewed social media post. The computer displays the viewed social media that matches the search query as well as the interests associated with the user during each cluster period in which a matching social media post was viewed.
