Abstract: A system and method are provided for utilizing a device positioned at or near a signage plate to provide non-visual assistance in approaching the signage plate's location when activated by a digital signal. A venue might improve accessibility by installing the invented device next to or even behind one or more restroom signs. A visitor using this accessibility feature might utilize a fob provided by the venue or a personal device such as a smartphone with a compatible app, such that the visitor can press a button and activate the invented device to generate a non-visual cue to assist the visitor in locating the device and associated sign, such as emitting an audio sound. The fob or phone might further provide additional guidance, such as emitting the same sound as the sign device so that the visitor knows what sound to listen for, or providing additional information.

Abstract: A method, system and device are provided that collect and provide information related to worker productivity. The goods may be or include consumer products, commodities, equipment, food, food products, agricultural supplies and agricultural products. A label may be employed that includes a display screen, a bar code, a quick response code, an RFID chip and/or a radio frequency or photonic communications device to aid tracking of accomplished piecework and worker behavior. The worker may confirm documentation of piecework credit by both displays of piecework counts by the badge and by accessing a database server.

Abstract: A method, system and device are provided that collect and provide information related to goods at retail sales locations. The goods may be or include consumer products, commodities, equipment, food, food products, agricultural supplies and agricultural products. A good may be associated with an identifier represented by a bar code or a quick response code, or recorded within an RFID chip and/or a radio frequency or photonic communications device. An observer may transmit the perceived or received identifier to a remote database server and optionally receive a credit for the transmission of this information to the database server. The observer may optionally use a cellular telephone or portable communications device to transmit the identifier, digitized photographic data, GPS data, other geolocational data, time-date stamps, textual data, and/or audio data.

Abstract: A mobile communications device is adapted to receive user input for association with a defined geographic area or location. The user inputs an attestation of his or her location and the mobile device compares the user-attested location with a geolocational data derived from external transmitters, such satellites as the Global Positioning System (“GPS”). The geolocational data is compared with user attested location and additional optional steps include (a.) alerting one or more other devices when the user attested location is not confirmed by the geolocational data; (b.) the device may inhibit further input of data for association with the user attested location; and/or (c.) the device may accept additional user input without notifying the user of the apparent discrepancy between the user attested location and the geolocational data.

Abstract: A system and method to enable the designation of previously recorded responses to communications originating from a known contact for the purpose of facilitating individualized contact, particularly in the commercial and professional spaces. A plurality of contact addresses may be added to a single contact profile to allow for multiple communication methods per contact. A plurality of communication methods may be utilized including, but not limited to, telephone calls, text messages and email transmissions. Media files, documents, images and audio files, for example, may be attached to the previously recorded responses to communications. The designated response may further contain GPS location data, which may be included in the previously recorded response transmission.

Abstract: A method, system and device are provided that collect and provide information related to goods in transit, as made available for purchase and/or after purchase. The goods may be or include consumer products, commodities, equipment, food, food products, agricultural supplies and agricultural products. A label may include a bar code, a quick response code, an RFID chip and/or a radio frequency or photonic communications device.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for enabling the geolocational monitoring, tracking and management of an agricultural workflow are provided. A first version of the method includes establishing a serial number for shipping containers which corresponds to a software database record that is readily editable. The invented method avoids the need for correcting errors on detailed physical labels placed on produce shipping containers, thereby increasing overall efficiency of sending fresh produce to the stream of commerce. Increasing the speed at which said produce enters the marketplace allows growers to realize more of the value of each crop.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for enabling the geolocational monitoring, tracking and management of an agricultural workflow are provided. A first version of the method includes defining a unique area of plant cultivation or animal husbandry; recording inputs to the area with a GPS device; reporting the inputs and related GPS confirmations to a database in association with the area; recording outputs from the area with the GPS device 2; and reporting the outputs and related GPS confirmations to a database in association with the area, whereby a net yield of the area over time can be appraised in view of the inputs and outputs of the area. A marker may be assigned to a element of crop or animal output and the element may be monitored by references to the marker over distance and time.
