Abstract: A computer device and computer automated method for supporting packet delivery. A packet to be delivered has a designated delivery address and recipient. On approach of a delivery vehicle carrying the packet to the delivery address, when a geo-fence close to the delivery address is crossed, it is checked whether it is possible to deliver the packet to the designated delivery address. If it is not possible, then the method selects, conditional on sensing proximity to the designated delivery address with reference to the computing device's current location, from among one or more possible delivery addresses which have been pre-registered by the recipient as local addresses of friends an alternative delivery address at which a friend is currently located with reference to a mobile device registered to that friend. If a suitable friend who is at home is found, then the packet is delivered to the friend.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for enforcing privacy rights in digital images. An example method generally includes receiving a image-hash as part of a wireless communications protocol where the image-hash comprises a collection of data representing an individual face. Analyzing a digital image using the image-hash to identify a matching face where the collection of data from the image-hash is used to initialize an identification algorithm. The identification algorithm is configured to return a positive identification when the individual face is present in the digital image, and editing the digital image to obscure the individual face when a positive identification is returned.
