Abstract:
An activity monitoring system comprising a plurality of wireless units wherein a first wireless unit comprises a wireless transceiver to broadcast at least one timing signal; a second wireless unit comprises: a wireless transceiver to receive at least one signal; a monitoring device that generates monitoring data; a memory to store the monitoring data; a processor to synchronize a time with the corresponding monitoring data; and wherein the second wireless unit: processes the received timing signal from the first wireless unit; synchronizes the monitoring data with the timing signal resulting in a time-synchronized data stream.
Abstract:
A method for emulating a physical connection using a wireless connection includes establishing a communication connection with a peripheral according to a communication protocol using a host controller. The method further includes receiving a wireless signal carrying data having a format specified by the communication protocol, extracting the data from the wireless signal, and communicating the data to the peripheral using the communication connection.
Abstract:
A system for estimating the location of a node in a mesh network and predicting future location of the same. Historical RSSI of nodes in a mesh network may be used to determine relative location amongst other nodes. The system may employ statistical approaches to predict future node locations.
Abstract:
A method for emulating a physical connection using a wireless connection includes establishing a communication connection with a host controller according to a first communication protocol and establishing a wireless connection with a wireless device coupled to a peripheral. The method further includes receiving a wireless signal comprising registration information for the peripheral formatted according to a second communication protocol and communicating the registration information to the host controller using the communication connection. The communication of the registration information to the host controller allows the host controller to recognize the peripheral.
Abstract:
A method for storing large amounts of data on a wireless device, said method comprising the steps of placing a wireless device on a wireless transmission unit; initializing the wireless device for transmission of data; authenticating the wireless device with an associated account or profile; verifying the storage capacity of the wireless device; determining what wireless standard is implemented by the device; and transmitting data to the wireless device; whereby the transmitted information may be later viewed and or accessed locally from the wireless device.
Abstract:

Abstract:
This disclosure provides a system of intelligent lights together with control devices and sensors communicating over a wireless network, with methods to allow the lights to take actions based on logical combinations of events generated by other devices. The lights can function autonomously as they have built-in functions of logic processing, storage and wireless communications which allow them to receive events and take actions according to the stored logic configuration data. Complete freedom in the grouping of lights as well as association of control devices and sensors to each individual lights is enabled by this system architecture. Seamless communication coverage is enabled by a wireless protocol that allows the light to form a mesh network. The discovery of devices in the network and their capabilities/services, as well as the setting up of the logic configuration data for the lights, are performed by a smart phone or similarly device with user interface, which facilitates simpler hardware for the lights as well as making it easy to add new devices and discovering their capabilities/services. Additional functions of the intelligent lights are location-based services using periodic broadcast data packets transmitted from the lights, as well as receiving broadcast data packets from other devices.
Abstract:
An access control system that utilizes a combination of passive tags and active RFIDs. The system may combine passive and active circuitry in one package or may be separable. The system may incorporate legacy passive access control tags. An access control tag may be associated with a network protocol ID.
Abstract:
A wireless interface device is used to RF communicate between a computer system and input devices comprising a keyboard and a mouse. The interface device comprises a radio transmitter and receiver, wherein a modem encodes data to be sent by the radio transmitter and decodes data received by the radio receiver. A baseband circuit encrypts data to be transmitted and decrypts received data. The wireless interface device has power saving functions to extend the battery life of the input device and has the capability to automatically select between several communication frequencies or channels as well as automatically select between RF data rates.
