Abstract: Disclosed is a method of recommending one or more skin care products to a user. The method includes receiving one or more images of the user. Further, the method includes receiving indoor environmental data corresponding to an accommodation associated with the user. Moreover, the method includes identifying the one or more skin care products based on each of the one or more images and the indoor environmental data.

Abstract: A portable computing device for enabling user to view video content of sports activity such as basketball or ice hockey. The computing device is configured to receive video content, video clips, statistics of the game as well as spatial position data of players and position data of for example a ball used in the game as functions of time. Spectators can use the portable computing device to view spatial position of the players and the ball at given time of the game or view spatial position of the players and/or the ball based on set filters by the user. User can for example select to see spatial position of players in at the times when the team scored or according to other statistics. The user/spectator can use the user interface of the computing device to select an icon of a player to see corresponding video clip of actions in the sports field.

Abstract: A method for reducing power consumption within a portable communication device, where the device includes a plurality of spatial sensing modules includes detecting a location of the portable communication device to a desired level of accuracy; determining that the location of the portable communication device is indoors; using one or more of the spatial sensing modules to sense a motion state or a spatially stationary state of the portable communication device by detecting changes in the surroundings of the portable communication.

Abstract: A system for automatically video filming an ongoing sports activity within a field uses an imaging device to continuously capture the entire field and the activities of the players involved in the game, and generate video signals. A position measuring arrangement, including multiple transmitters coupled to the different players, regularly measures the spatial locations of the different players with time, as the game continues, and generates position signals that indicate these spatial positions as functions of time. A data processor is coupled to the imaging device and the position measuring arrangement. The data processor receives the position signals and the video signals, and analyzes the position signals to edit the video signals, and to generate an edited output video content which is delivered to the spectators of the sports activity.

Abstract: A method and system for enabling cross-platform connectivity and operable communication between two portable communication devices, operating through different operating systems, operably connects the two devices to a service infrastructure through a network. A unique identifier of the first device is retrieved and communicated to the service. Bluetooth or WLAN operation of the two devices is enabled. The second device detects any other device in proximity, within the network, and delivers identifying information of the detected devices to the service. If the identifying information corresponds to the identifier of the first device registered with the service, the service sends a push notification message to a push notification service corresponding to the first device. The push notification service sends an alert to the first device notifying the first device that it has been detected. Connectivity and operable communication between the two devices is enabled.

Abstract: A method of reducing power consumption within a portable communication device uses spatial sensing modules to identify a stationary state or to sense motion of the device, and continuously monitors the device's surroundings. The device includes a control module coupled to the spatial sensing modules, which include a global positioning system, and a module that identifies the location of the device through a cellular wireless communication network. The method uses the control module to switch on or switch off the spatial sensing modules based on identifying that the device has been in a spatially static state for a time period or has been suddenly moved, or if any sudden changes have been detected in the device's surroundings. Furthermore, if the device is identified to be at an indoor location for a specific period of time, the control module switches off the global positioning system of the device.

Abstract: Spatial positions of a user in relation to one or more products at a retailing premises are monitored. The monitoring may be performed for determining characteristics of the user. A system includes an arrangement of stationary wireless devices deployed in respect of shelves of the retailing premises. The system is operable to interact with a wireless communication device associated with the user in order to generate spatial location information indicative of one or more spatial positions of the wireless communication device within the retailing premises. The arrangement of stationary wireless devices is disposed in respect of the shelves to function as gates for defining corresponding one or more shelf regions. The gates are employed by the system for monitoring movement of the wireless communication device between the shelf regions and thereby in a proximity of products associated with the shelf regions, enabling optimal placement of the products in the shelves.

Abstract: A system and method for profiling a consumer includes an agent with a memory in communication with a processor, the memory including program instructions for execution by the processor to receive a visit record information element comprising information about a location visited by the consumer and a unique consumer identifier, retrieve location information element associated with the location, retrieve a consumer profile element associated with the unique consumer identifier, generate an updated consumer profile information element based at least in part on one or more of the consumer profile information element, the detailed visit record information element, and the location characterization information element, and store the updated consumer profile information element.
