Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for enabling a controller configured for controlling devices of a first system via a first backend to control devices of a second system via a second backend. The method, performed by the second backend, includes receiving, from the first backend, location information of the controller and credentials of the controller or/and of a user of the controller, receiving, from a source trusted by the second backend, location information of the controller and credentials of the controller or/and of the user, and performing context matching to enable the controller to control the devices of the second system by comparing the location information received from the first backend with the location information received from the source trusted by the second backend and by comparing the credentials received from the first backend with the credentials received from the source trusted by the second backend.
Abstract:
When having detected a failure of a subordinate sink node, a node (100) according to this embodiment transmits neighborhood exploration request information to each child node, thereby receiving neighborhood exploration report information from each child node. On the basis of the neighborhood exploration report information acquired from the child nodes, the node (100) identifies an optimum child node serving as a substitute for the failed sink node. The node (100) transmits sink node formation command information to the identified child node to form it into a sink node, thus reconstructing a network.
Abstract:
The invention concerns means for triggering an action in • obtaining a first set of information related to the user; and, according to the current geographical location, a second set of places; • for each place of the second set, determining a combined posterior probability distribution that the user is currently located in said place, according to the first set of information, a first posterior probability distributions based on a set of parameters related to global user habits, a second posterior probability distributions based on a set of parameters related to user habits, and a third posterior probability distributions based on a set of parameters related to local user habits; • triggering at least one action according to the combined posterior probability distributions of the places of the second set.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the field of location-based services, and in particular to the field of location-based services involving mobile devices. With the disclosed method it is possible to provide individual information at a certain location to individual users, wherein said information may be based on a location profile that may be updated depending on inputs of the user itself or other users.
Abstract:
Augmented reality (AR) systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed. A user's gaze point may be estimated and may be used to search for and present information, e.g., information relating to areas on which the user is focusing. The user's gaze point may be used to facilitate or enable modes of interactivity and/or user interfaces that may be controlled by the direction of view of the user. Biometric techniques may be used to estimate an emotional state of the user. This estimated emotional state may be used to be the information that is presented to the user.
Abstract:
A method for distributing micro-location-based notifications to a computing device, including: receiving a unique identifier from a first entity, the unique identifier collected from a wireless beacon by a computing device proximal the wireless beacon, the unique identifier generated locally on the wireless beacon according to a rule assigned to the wireless beacon; resolving the unique identifier into an identity of the wireless beacon based on the rule; identifying a second entity affiliated with the wireless beacon based on the identity of the wireless beacon; and in response to agreement between the first entity and the second entity, authorizing delivery of a communication through a native application executing on the computing device responsive to receipt of the unique identifier at the computing device, the communication affiliated with the first entity.
Abstract:
A transportable container is enabled with radio frequency identification (“RFID”) technologies to maintain automated inventory levels of those items that are inside the container. The inventory data is communicated via wireless methods, such as cellular or Wi-Fi, to a remote device such as enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The ERP system may use the inventory data received from the remote device to automatically update appropriately and generate appropriate records (e.g., container inventory, restocking, invoicing, etc.). In some embodiments, automated RFID scans are triggered when the container is opened and subsequently closed. The container may include RF containment/screening to prevent inadvertent scanning of RFID tags outside of the container. The container may also include a location device to allow the location of the container to be readily determined.
Abstract:
A location server includes: a first receiver module configured to receive, from a location-based services application server (LBS AS), a first identification for a first mobile device associated with the LBS AS; a second receiver module configured to receive, from an access/location network (ALN), a second identification for a second mobile device associated with the ALN; a comparison module, communicatively coupled to the first and second receiver modules, configured to determine whether the first and second identifications match and whether the first and second mobile devices are the same mobile device based at least in part on whether the first and second identifications match; and a location service information module, communicatively coupled to the comparison module, and configured to provide a location service for the first mobile device in response to the comparison module determining that the first and second mobile devices are the same mobile device.
Abstract:
Embodiments relate generally to a pump control system for a pressure sewer installation. The system comprises a controller arranged to control supply of power to a pump of the pressure sewer installation. The controller is arranged to receive an output signal from a sensor in a fluid reservoir of the pressure sewer installation, the output signal being indicative of a measured fluid level in the fluid reservoir. A memory is accessible to the controller and is arranged to store operation information pertaining to operation of the pressure sewer installation. A wireless transceiver is in communication with the controller to allow the controller to communicate with a remote server over a communications network.
