Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user device may establish a device-to-device communication with a point of interaction (POI) device based on a distance between the user device and the POI device being within a reference distance. The user device may engage in an authentication procedure with the POI device via the device-to-device communication to verify authenticity of the POI device. The user device may send transaction data to the POI device via the device-to-device communication after the authenticity of the POI device is verified. The user device may terminate the device-to-device communication after the transaction data is sent to the POI device.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for authentication. In some aspects, an authentication device may receive, from a user device, an identification token of a user attempting to access a secure service. The authentication device may obtain, from a biometric service, a verification status of the user based at least in part on the identification token. The authentication device may determine whether the user is authenticated based at least in part on the verification status. The authentication device may approve access to the secure service based on a determination that the user is authenticated.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described herein for association-based asset tracking. For instance, a computing device (e.g., an application server) can determine a plurality of associations among a plurality of assets. The computing device can monitor a plurality of messages being communicated corresponding to each association of the plurality of associations, detect an exception has occurred based upon the monitoring, and generate a notification based upon the detected exception. Each association of the plurality of associations can be created between two different assets of the plurality of assets. Each of the two different assets can be in a same mesh network or can be in different mesh networks.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that enable hybrid web and native applications. A communications device may be equipped to process one or more links where each link may be associated with a workflow directive. Further, the communications device may be equipped to process a workflow directive associated with a link to pre-render a template while a content request including the link is being transmitted. Still further, the communications device may be equipped to apply content received in response to the content request to the pre-rendered template.

Abstract: An emergency request system includes a portable emergency device designed to be carried on the person of a user, the emergency device containing stored data useful in the event of an emergency, such as data on medical problems of the user, contact information of a person able to supply information when the user is incapacitated and location information as to the present location of the user. The emergency request system includes a cellular phone that supports Bluetooth and software that interacts with the portable emergency device and the 911 emergency system.
