Abstract: A proximity-locked connection system may include a server configured to communicate with a plurality of user devices, each user device operable by a user thereof, receive from user devices user device locations, calculate a distance between user devices of a pair of users, determine that a distance therebetween is within a connection threshold, and create a connection between the pair of users at least in part due to the distance being within a connection threshold. In some implementations, a server may maintain connection expiration dates (or connection expiration timers) at least in part based on locations received from user devices, wherein an expiration date (or expiration timer) may be reset for an existing connection given a distance between user devices associated therewith is within a connection refresh threshold. In some implementations, a server may disable (or delete) a connection upon an expiration date (or timer expiration) associated therewith.

Abstract: Various implementations of systems and methods for digital asset management comprising physical digital asset holders are disclosed, wherein a physical digital asset holder may serve as a digital asset custodian, may facilitate a digital asset custodial service and/or may facilitate access or use of a digital asset held thereby. In some implementations, the system may comprise physical digital asset holders which may receive, hold and transfer digital assets, such as for example, cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the like. In some implementations, physical digital asset holders may be embodied in a plurality of physical forms such as digital playing cards, digital coins, digital payment cards, digital picture frames, digital figurines and the like.

Abstract: Systems and methods for assigning vehicles to transportation requests in transportation network platforms are disclosed, wherein a vehicle is determined to have a sufficient range to fulfill a transportation request prior to an assignment to the transportation request. In some implementations, vehicles determined to have a sufficient range to fulfill a transportation request may be determined to require refueling, and may be assigned to a transportation request, wherein a vehicle refueling event is planned in conjunction with the vehicle assignment. Vehicles may be selected for determinations for vehicle assignment, wherein such selection is based on a proximity to a pickup location of a transportation request. In some implementations, if no vehicles within the proximity are determined to have a sufficient range, then the proximity is a first proximity and a next proximity having a greater distance than the first proximity is used to select vehicles for determinations for vehicle assignments.

Abstract: A cellular telephone operated only by voice control and having no keyboard or video display is disclosed. The cellular telephone is worn in, on or over the ear of the user, and control to operate the phone is delivered via voice commands to the boom microphone extending from the phone housing. Voice recognition software in the microprocessor translates the voice commands to signals that operate the phone to make calls, dial a phone number, retrieve a telephone number from memory and the like. A cloud based server with voice recognition software is accessed by the phone to transcribe incoming text messages and emails from a digital medium to audible language, and vice versa.
