  • Publication number: 20220182791
    Abstract: In an example, the present technique includes a method for capturing information from a spatial region to monitor human activities and create a spatial map of the spatial region. In an example, the technique allows a user of a cell phone to move from one location to another location and be tracked using rf backscattering, and each location being identified by the user by communicating a label via a cell phone or other mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20220060844
    Abstract: A method includes monitoring a geospatial location of a user of a mobile device having a processor communicatively coupled to a memory through the mobile device, date stamping and time stamping the geospatial location of the user through the mobile device, and monitoring, through a server having another processor communicatively coupled to another memory and/or the mobile device, an interaction of the user with the mobile device and/or a device communicatively coupled to the server based on the geospatial location of the user. The method also includes predicting, through the server and/or the mobile device, an event related to the mobile device and/or the device based on the monitoring of the interaction of the user therewith, and enabling, through the server and/or the mobile device, automatic performance of an action on the mobile device and/or the device on behalf of the user in accordance with the prediction of the event.

  • Publication number: 20210362759
    Abstract: In an example, the autonomous vehicle (“AV”) can be configured among the other vehicles and railway to communicate with a rider on a peer to peer basis to pick up the rider on demand from a location on a track, like a railway, tram or other track, rather than the rider being held hostage to -a fixed, railway schedule. The rider can have an application on his/her cell phone, which tracks each of the AVs. and contact them using the application on the cell phone. In an example, the AV is configured for both on-track and off track operation with different operating parameters for on-track and off track, including speed, degree of autonomy, sensors used etc.
