Abstract: A position specifying system can accurately detect, while reducing a power consumption amount of a carried terminal, a position within a watching area where the target person acts every day and can efficiently detect the position even in an emergency where the target person moves out of the watching area. The terminal transmits, at a first time interval, identification information via short-range wireless communication; acquires, at a second time interval, position information with a GPS function; and transmits the identification information and the position information to a server via long-range wireless communication. A terminal for detection transmits the identification information transmitted from the communicable target person terminal.

Abstract: The inventive subject matter provides devices and methods for improving driving safety using information obtained from images taken by a camera in a device. Among other things, contemplated devices and methods can produce alarms when it appear from rates of speed and acceleration/deceleration, that a vehicle will likely go through a red light, or fail to stop or sufficiently slow down at a stop sign. A significant feature of preferred devices and methods is that they are not dependent on WI-FI, cellular, satellite and radio signals, or any other external data transmission, and are not even dependent on speed, acceleration, or other information native to the vehicle.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and structures that provide action recognition with high-order interaction with spatio-temporal object tracking. Image and object features are organized into into tracks, which advantageously facilitates many possible learnable embeddings and intra/inter-track interaction(s). Operationally, our systems, method, and structures according to the present disclosure employ an efficient high-order interaction model to learn embeddings and intra/inter object track interaction across the space and time for AR. Each frame is detected by an object detector to locate visual objects. Those objects are linked through time to form object tracks. The object tracks are then organized and combined with the embeddings as the input to our model. The model is trained to generate representative embeddings and discriminative video features through high-order interaction which is formulated as an efficient matrix operation without iterative processing delay.
