Abstract: A system of short-range communication devices identify specific regions of interest within an area. In addition, a set of ranges or zones is defined for each of the short-range communication devices and conditions and actions are assigned to the zones. A client device senses a short-range communications device and associates conditions and actions to the client device. The client device determines its zone, analyzes the conditions and, if at least one condition is met, triggers the action(s). The history or context of the client device within the area may be analyzed to generate additional conditions and/or actions, or to modify existing conditions and/or actions associated with the specific zones.

Abstract: It is provided a method, implemented with a client computer system connected to a server and having a processor coupled to a memory and a graphical user interface, the method being for processing a dataset of data entities stored on the server and each associated to a set of descriptors. The method comprises sending, to the server, a search query inputted with the graphical user interface, receiving on the memory of the client computer system, from the server, a list of data entities of the dataset respecting the search query, displaying (S30) a data entity of the received list of data entities, and loading the set of descriptors associated to the displayed data entity, and, for each of a subset of a predetermined number of consecutive data entities of the received list of data entities surrounding the displayed data entity, pre-loading the associated set of descriptors.

Abstract: A vehicle peripheral device system comprising: a first peripheral state manager that manages a persistent connection between a computer and a vehicle; and a second peripheral state manager that manages on-demand connections between the computer and the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is presented to a user of the computer as a persistent peripheral device when either the persistent connection or the on-demand connection is available, wherein at least some of the on-demand connections are initiated by the computer requiring access to the vehicle device.

Abstract: A telematics service method comprising the steps of: monitoring vehicle location; inferring vehicle title transfer from the monitored vehicle location, wherein the monitoring and inferring steps are performed autonomously in the vehicle.

Abstract: A mobile play list method, comprising the steps of: broadcasting a work and identification for the work over a broadcast system; receiving the broadcast work and identification in a mobile device; receiving, from a user, an input identifying the broadcast work as desired by the user; monitoring at the mobile device for a subsequent broadcast of the work; storing the work in the mobile device during the subsequent broadcast, and selectively playing the work in the mobile device in response to a request of the user
