Abstract: A portable electronic key device starts up only when movement of the portable electronic key device is present on the basis of detection signal Sac of a motion detector. A communication monitoring unit monitors whether or not radio waves Swk periodically transmitted from a vehicle are received. When there is no movement of the portable electronic key device but the portable electronic key device has received or is receiving radio waves from the vehicle, an operation controller maintains the start-up state of the portable electronic key device.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for determining a scaled flow rate of traffic for a road segment. For example, probe flow rate information is determined based upon locational information from one or more probe vehicles on a road segment (e.g., a flow rate of probe vehicles corresponding to a sum of probe vehicles identified from time stamped global positioning system coordinates provided by the probe vehicles). Satellite imagery of the road segment is analyzed to identify a count of vehicles on the road segment. Scale factor and offset information is estimated based upon the probe flow rate information and the count of vehicles. The scale factor and offset information is used to scale the probe flow rate information to determine a scaled flow rate that may be a relatively accurate flow rate of traffic, which may correspond to an inferred traffic volume along the road segment.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for adaptive road management in a communication network comprising a complex array of both static and moving communication nodes (e.g., a network of moving things, which may be a vehicle network, a network of or including autonomous vehicles, etc.).

Abstract: A first connection state may be entered on a computing device. While the computing device is in the first connection state, actions taken on a playlist on the computing device may be applied to the playlist and not applied to a playback queue associated with a zone. An input may be received via the computing device, indicating a selection of the zone. In response to receiving the input, a second connection state may be entered. Entering the second connection state may comprise establishing a connected state between the computing device and the one or more playback devices. While the connected state is established, one or more actions taken on the playlist on the computing device may be applied to the playlist and transmitted, in a message to the zone over a network. The one or more actions may be one or more corresponding actions applied to the playback queue.

Abstract: An immediate alert notification system via wireless tethered devices is provided. The system comprises a processor, a memory, and an application stored in the memory that when executed on the processor receives a first message from a first mobile device.

Abstract: A swimming pool safety surveillance system includes a camera identifying module, a terminal controller, and a camera identification monitoring module. The camera identifying module identifies the face of swimmers to generate a face information. The camera identification monitoring module tracks the face information around the facility environment of the swimming pool area, so as to produce a warning signal when the swimmer with corresponding face information is in an accident event, such that the emergency signal is sent to the terminal controller for sending a rescue warning. By intelligently tracking the face of swimmers, the swimming pool environment is under safety surveillance, whereby the rescue operation is immediately carried out for accident occurrence, and the swimming pool safety and the rescue efficiency are improved.
