Abstract: A purposed-device management platform monitors a network of mobile devices dedicated to a single purpose. The single purpose may be to function as a point-of-sale terminal at a retail shop or a plurality of retail shops or for other purposes, such as customer service, digital signage security, resource management, testing and an educational function. Each device is monitored by the management platform, which may include a variety of functions and applications to accomplish its single purpose goals. Monitoring functions may include geolocation monitoring and device and application performance statistics and may alert the platform or the local user when a malfunction occurs. Each mobile device and appropriate software may record interactions with customers or potential customers. The platform may perform digital interaction tracking with customers or potential customers via a digital interaction tracking dashboard, which records increasing levels of interaction and interest by persons near each mobile device.

Abstract: Unused storage space within a data storage is utilized to store data while effectively making it appear to the operating system, other programs, and the user that the space is still available or unused. The space used to store the hidden data remains available for use by the operating system, other programs and uses upon a request. File system requests are monitored such that the hidden storage area remains hidden from unauthorized processes as well as to restrict operations within the hidden storage area that are attempted by unauthorized processes.
