Filed:

Dec 12, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/636736

Inventors:

Brian William Higgins - Dayton MD, US

International Classification:

G08B 23/00

US Classification:

3405731, 3405734, 34053926, 34053929, 3401462, 340500, 340501, 3404571, 340 52, 340 56, 600300, 600306, 600307, 600346, 600549

Abstract:

A system and method for effectively communicating information using at least one mode of communication is described, in which information recipients proximate to a communications device within a pre-determined space and during a pre-determined time period are identified, from whom physiological state information is obtained that, when coupled with other characteristics information, is used to select from a plurality of information elements at least one information element to better target the information elements. The information element is then provided to the communications device so that it may be provided to the information recipients in the pre-determined space in a manner that is sensed by the information recipients.

G01S 17/93
G01S 19/01
G01S 15/93
G01S 15/86

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described that are configured for determining a path of an apparatus, engaging a motor to cause the apparatus to proceed along the path, receiving one or more of LIDAR data, ultrasonic data, or optical flow data, determining, based on one or more of the LIDAR data, the ultrasonic data, or the optical flow data, one or more objects in the path of the apparatus, and engaging the motor to cause the apparatus to avoid the one or more objects.
