Abstract: One or more devices associated with a first vehicle receives location information that specifies a location of a second vehicle. The one or more devices determine, based on the location information, that the second vehicle is within a threshold distance of the first vehicle. The one or more devices establish, based on determining that the second vehicle is within the threshold distance of the first vehicle, a peer-to-peer (P2P) connection with the second vehicle. The one or more devices receive from the second vehicle, and by using the P2P connection, content that has been captured by a camera component associated with the second vehicle. The one or more devices cause an interface associated with the first vehicle to display the content.

Abstract: A client device can determine, based on global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data received from one or more GNSS satellites, a non-real-time kinematics (RTK) GNSS location of the client device. The client device can determine, based on corrections data received from a reference station, an RTK-assisted GNSS location, of the client device, from the non-RTK GNSS location. The client device can broadcast location information associated with the client device, the location information indicating the RTK-assisted GNSS location of the client device. The client device can receive, from a merchant device, a peer-to-peer connection request, for a peer-to-peer connection between the client device and the merchant device, based on transmitting the location information and based on the RTK-assisted GNSS location of the client device being located within a particular geographic area. The client device and the merchant device can process a transaction via the peer-to-peer connection.

Abstract: An electronic-ink based RFID tag for attachment to a consumer item and displaying graphical indicia indicating whether or not the item has been read and its integrated RFID module has been activated or deactivated. In response to privacy concerns of consumers, the present invention provides new way of and means for allowing a consumer to readily determine the state of an RFID tag on a consumer item (i.e. activated or deactivated) through the use of a visual indicator integrated with the electronic-ink based RFID tag. The RFID tag has an addressable display label employing a layer of electronic ink, for displaying a first visual indicator when its RFID module has been activated to indicate that the unique identifier associated consumer item has not yet be read, and a second visual indicator when the RFID module has been deactivated to indicate that the unique identifier associated the consumer item has been read.
