CPC Class H04W

A pet collar is provided with a collar command unit, which may include a stimulator feature for discouraging undesirable behavior and a sensor for detecting the undesirable behavior. A controller in the collar command unit electronically communicates with the stimulator and the sensor. The collar command unit also includes a receiver for receiving an event signal from a remote device, such as a building occupant protection system or cellular telephone, which is indicative of an emergency situation. When the pet exhibits the undesirable behavior, the controller allows the stimulator to deliver a deterrent stimulus. However, when the event signal is received, the controller overrides the stimulator feature, preventing the delivery of the deterrent stimulus to the pet. Additionally or alternately, the collar may include a transmitter for transmitting a response to the remote device and a tracking chip for tracking the location of the pet during or after the event.

An outdoor system for cooking and/or smoking food in which a smart phone, remote or other hand-held wireless device can be used to start the cooking and/or smoking unit. To allow the unit to he started remotely, or to permit one or more other operations to he remotely activated, the system first determines whether the hand-held device is within a predetermined geo-fence boundary distance of the cooking an or smoking unit and/or determines whether one or more other status criteria are met.

Intelligent dispenser of disinfectant gel for connection to disinfection habits monitoring system that includes a disinfectant gel dispenser, a user recognition device and an electronic device. The dispenser also includes a communicator device to transmit at least the user identification data and dispenser identification data to a computing device member of a disinfection habits monitoring system. The computing device can process the transmitted user identification data linking them to the individual dispenser transmitter of the identification data, permitting to determine the disinfection habits of each user individually, and the computing device can transmit to an information emitter information related with the users identified by the recognition device and information relevant to tasks performed or omitted by the users and/or in accordance with the sanitation protocols, or area information corresponding to the physical position of the individual dispenser.

A pen needle is enclosed by an outer cover to facilitate installation of a needle bearing hub on a medication pen. The outer cover design reduces or eliminates the likelihood of user contact with the patient end needle or the non-patient end needle during installation and disposal, and provides an audible indication when the hub is fully installed on a medication pen.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of providing hazard information by an electronic device, comprising determining: determining a location of an electronic device in relation to hazards in a geographic region of interest, the location of the electronic device being determined by a location determining unit of the electronic device and the location of the hazards being determined from map data accessible to the electronic device; displaying, in a first display mode on a display of the electronic device, an indication of the hazards in the geographic region of interest in relation to a scale indicative of a distance from the location of the electronic device; and displaying, in response to a predetermined user input, in a second display mode on the display, an indication of one or more of the hazards in a portion of the geographic region of interest, each indication being associated with at least one item of distance information indicative of a distance of the hazard from the location of the electronic device.

A game manipulation panel capable of communicating game information, the game manipulation panel includes: a panel body configured to generate a manipulation signal for playing a game; and an antenna member positioned in a portion of the panel body to transmit and receive a signal for transferring game information to a short-range wireless communication module that performs nearfield communication (NFC) with a portable device.

Each of a first information processing apparatus and a second information processing apparatus includes a display, an operation portion, and a radio communication unit. The second apparatus transmits operation information accepted by the operation portion of the second apparatus to the first apparatus through the radio communication unit. The first apparatus performs application processing based on operation information accepted by the operation portion of the first apparatus and the operation information from the second apparatus, generates an application image including a result of execution of the application processing, shows the application image on the display of the first apparatus, and transmits the application image to the second apparatus through the radio communication unit of the first apparatus. The second apparatus shows the application image from the first apparatus on the display of the second apparatus.
