  • Controlling locations shared among multiple operators
    Patent number: 11605256
    Abstract: A method includes controlling a shared location. Item identifiers are read from a set of items (pertaining to one or more operators sharing the shared location) reaching a gate of the shared location. A verification request message for the item identifiers is broadcast for receiving corresponding verification response messages from central computing systems of the operators. A passage of the items through the gate is controlled according to the verification response messages. A computer program and a computer program product for performing the method are also proposed. Moreover, a system for implementing the method is proposed.
    Type: Grant

  • Controlling mobile computing device according to user's responsiveness
    Patent number: 11134148
    Abstract: A method is proposed for operating a mobile computing device. A potentially dangerous condition for a user of the mobile computing device is detected according to its position. A responsiveness level of the user (to recognize the potentially dangerous condition) is determined according to one or more operative parameters of the mobile computing device. One or more interactive functionalities of the mobile computing device are controlled in response to the potentially dangerous condition according to the responsiveness level. A computer program and a computer program product for performing the method are also proposed. Moreover, a mobile computing device for implementing the method is proposed.
