Abstract: A method and system for recommending a physical location at which to complete an electronic activity are disclosed. In some examples, the system identifies an incomplete portion of an electronic activity initiated at a first device, and identifies a plurality of candidate locations for completion of the electronic activity based on at least one characteristic of the incomplete portion. When a prior location of the first device is closer to a first one of the candidate locations than to a second one of the candidate locations, the system selects the first candidate location for the completion of the electronic activity and provides activity data characterizing the electronic activity to a second device disposed at the first candidate location.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems and computer implemented methods for generating a virtual or augmented reality-based oversight system of business processes at a location remote from where the business process is executed. In one example, system operations include identifying a process-based operation performed at a physical first location, where the operation is associated with a request for oversight from a remote second location. A current state of the operation at the first location is identified, and at least one input source at the first location is identified. A simulation of the current state of the operation at the first location incorporating input from the input source(s) is generated for presentation at the second location. An action performed at the first location in the current state of the operation is identified, and the second location is then transmitted a request to authorize the identified action.

Abstract: A method and system for recommending a physical location at which to complete an electronic activity are disclosed. In some examples, initiation of the electronic activity by a user at a first physical location is detected, that the electronic activity is to be completed at a physical location different from the first physical location is determined, one or more portions of the electronic activity that remain incomplete are determined, a second physical location at which to complete the one or more incomplete portions of the electronic activity is identified, and information about the electronic activity is provided to the second physical location. In some examples, the identification of the second physical location is based on at least characteristics of the electronic activity, the user, and/or the second physical location.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and computer-implemented methods for implementing a resource allocation and adjusting resource usage and spending based on information received from a plurality of network-connected devices. One example method is performed by identifying a master resource allocation associated with a plurality of connected devices and monitoring, at a device hub, resource usage information associated with at least one connected device. The device hub compares the monitored resource usage information associated with the at least one connected device to the master resource allocation for the plurality of connected devices, and, in response to the comparison, calculates at least one adjustment in operation for a particular connected device from the plurality of connected devices based on the monitored resource usage information.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include methods and systems for providing a notification relating to a geographical boundary based on monitored sensor data collected by networked devices. The disclosed embodiments include, for example, a method that monitors positional sensor data received from one or more triggering devices. The method may calculate a first boundary extent delimiting the geographical area of the first boundary based on one or more boundary extent parameters. The method may also detect an occurrence of a triggering condition that impacts a movement of at least one of a client device or at least one of the triggering devices within a geographic region that includes the first location. In response to the detected triggering event, at least one of modified start time or a second location may be established for the event, which may be provided to the client and triggering devices in a notification.
