Abstract: A beacon device for communicating with at least one discovering device is described.

Abstract: An edge computing system configured to dynamically offload tasks from a user device to an edge device. The edge computing system may receive a processed sensory feed from the user device, analyze the received processed sensory feed, and generate mapper output results. The edge computing system may compare the generated mapper output results to information received from a datastore, identify a correlation between a feature included in the received processed sensory feed and a feature included in the received information, and determine whether a confidence value associated with the identified correlation exceeds a threshold value. The edge computing system may further process the received processed sensory feed locally in the edge computing system or send the received processed sensory feed to a cloud component for further processing based on whether the confidence value exceeds the threshold value.

Abstract: An edge computing system configured to dynamically offload tasks from a user device to an edge device. The edge device may receive a request to download or run a software application suitable processing a sensory feed collected by the user device. The edge device may determine operating requirements of the software application, determine the internal capabilities of the edge device, and compare the determined operating requirements of the software application to the determined capabilities of the edge device to determine whether the edge device is capable of running the entire software application. The edge device may also determine whether the edge device is capable of running a portion of the software application in response to determining that the edge device is not capable of running the entire software application. The edge device may send a message identifying portions that could be run on the edge device.

Abstract: Method and Apparatus for providing an integrated platform for discovery, messaging, social networking and electronic commerce, including payment services, which enables Multi-Modal Proximity services. When associated with mobile devices the platform enables Real time, Proximal Search, Discovery, Communications, and Commerce including various forms of Payments. Mobile applications use the service delivery platform to interact, using multimodal communications (Human to Human (H2H), Human to Machine (H2M), M2M, M2H), with other applications, places, people or objects.
