CPC Class H04W

A method for controlling a seat is performed by a mobile device in cooperation with a database. The database contains at least one reference data set which contains a physical characteristic data and a seat setting data. The method includes the steps of: a) upon receipt of an input, searching the database to identify which one(s) of the at least one reference data set contains the physical characteristic data that matches the input, the one(s) serving as candidate data set(s); and b) when a total number of the candidate data set(s) identified in step a) is one, outputting, to the seat, the seat setting data contained in the candidate data set for controlling the seat.

Various embodiments describe multi-site cluster-based data intake and query systems, including cloud-based data intake and query systems. Using a hybrid search system that includes cloud-based data intake and query systems working in concert with so-called “on-premises” data intake and query systems can promote the scalability of search functionality. In addition, the hybrid search system can enable data isolation in a manner in which sensitive data is maintained “on premises” and information or data that is not sensitive can be moved to the cloud-based system. Further, the cloud-based system can enable efficient leveraging of data that may already exist in the cloud.

Multimedia content may be delivered to content consumer devices via a content-delivery network. Encrypted content and cryptography keys for decrypting the content may be distributed from a data center to various nodes of the content-delivery network, each node acting as a semi-independent content-delivery system. Each content-delivery system is capable of delivering received content to end-users and implementing a key-management scheme to facilitate secure content-delivery and usage tracking, even when the content-delivery system is disconnected from the data center. In other words, the disclosed systems and methods facilitate the operation of nodes which may operate in “autonomous mode” when disconnected from a larger content-delivery network, thus maintaining content-delivery capabilities despite having little if any connectivity to external networks.

A method and system for voice identification and validation is provided. Other embodiments are disclosed. The system registers one or more users on a social media platform with login information during a social media session, acquires a voice sample at any time of the social media session or a continuation of the social media session, associates the login information and the voice sample in a profile for each of the one or more users, stores the profile as a voice print in a voice print identifier database, and identifies at least one talker from an interfacing of the social media platform with the voice print identifier database. Other embodiments are provided.

A wearable device includes: a sensor configured to capture a vein image of a user; and a processor configured to control the sensor to capture the vein image of the user wearing the wearable device when a function or an application is selected, identify the user by comparing the captured vein image with at least one registered vein image, and execute the function or the application when the user has execution authority.
