  • Patent number: 8989513
    Abstract: Described are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products for locating one or more markers associated with IT equipment. An image of a scene including the one or more markers is acquired by a mobile computing device. A band-pass filter is applied by the mobile computing device to first pixel data associated with a first pixel in the image to generate a first band-pass filter result, wherein a pass-band of the band-pass filter is based on the light emitted by the one or more markers. A first pixel score is determined by the mobile computing device based on at least the first band-pass filter result. First indicia of the first pixel score is stored by the mobile computing device in a map at a first map location corresponding to a first image location of the first pixel in the image.

  • Publication number: 20150071054
    Abstract: A Core Service Platform (CSP) system is integrated with an operator network and IT system to provide services to subscribers and operators. Based on information collected from the operator network and IT system, the CSP system delivers alerts to a subscriber's device and provides offers to resolve the condition causing the alerts. The CSP system provides customized contextual offers to the subscriber's device based on contextual assessments of a subscriber's current context, such as time in contract, loyalty status, data and voice usage, value of customer, time, location and purchase history. The CSP system also provides an operator a suite of tools for the operator to manage its pricing, offers, campaigns and other subscriber-related issues.
