    Abstract: A wireless device comprising: a wireless interface for communicating with a network of reference nodes, and a location module configured to obtain a measurement of a respective signal communicated between the wireless interface and each of a plurality of said reference nodes. The location module is also supplied with a respective set of transformed coordinates for each of said plurality of reference nodes, transformed relative to their actual physical coordinates. Using said signal measurements and the transformed coordinates of said plurality of reference nodes, the wireless device then submits information indicative of a transformed location of the wireless device to an interpretation function. Based on the interpretation function, the wireless device is thereby able to access functionality relating to the physical location of the mobile terminal.

    Abstract: In a people counting system, a plurality of vision sensors is arranged to provide sensor coverage of an area. Each is arranged to provide individual sensor coverage of a portion of the area within its field of view. Each of a plurality of local image processors is connected to a respective one of the vision sensors. Each of the local image processors is configured to apply a local person detection algorithm to at least one image captured by its respective vision sensor, thereby generating a local presence metric representative of a number of people detected in the at least one image. A central processor is configured to estimate the total number of people in the area covered by the vision sensors by applying an aggregation algorithm to the local presence metrics generated by the local image processors. As it is critical that user privacy be taken into account when utilising such people counting technology, an opt-out is enabled. For instance, there may be users who do not want to reveal any information that may be perceived give away information related to their presence. In this context, a user is a person in the environment where people counting may be implemented. The disclosure applies not only to people counting, but to other contexts where people may be monitored, for example, a CCTV environment.

    Abstract: Devices (10) comprise target detectors (11) for detecting presences of targets in first areas (1) and transmitters (12) for in response to detected presences transmitting multicast messages to controllers (20) and lamps (21-24) in wireless networked lighting systems. Such multicast messages increase reliabilities of the systems. The multicast messages switch on the lamps (21-24). Preferably, the multicast messages are only transmitted in case relatively small amounts of light are detected in second areas (2). In case relatively large amounts of light are detected in the second areas (2), unicast messages are in response to detected presences transmitted from the devices (10) to the controllers (20) that in response control the lamps (21-24) to be switched on. The first and second areas (1, 2) may be at least partly overlapping areas. The devices (10) may comprise internal light detectors (13) for detecting the amounts of light in the second areas (2) or receivers for receiving light detection information from external light detectors.

    Abstract: A method of determining a location of a mobile device based on a first location estimation performed using a first location system, the method comprising: obtaining an initial estimate of the mobile device's location based on a second location estimation that is coarser than the first location estimation; using the initial estimate to select a subset of the reference nodes of the first network that are within a defined vicinity of the mobile device's location; and from amongst a database of respective assistance data for each of the wireless reference nodes stored on a server of the first location system, selectively providing the respective assistance data for each of said subset of wireless reference nodes to a localization module on the mobile device, for the localization module of the mobile device to calculate a finer estimate of the mobile device's location.

    Abstract: A system comprising a localization database mapping reference nodes to zones; and a localization module configured to determine a representative measurement based on a combination of measurements for the nodes of each zone (e.g. RSSIs), and to compare the representative measurements with one another in order to directly determine which one or more of the zones the mobile device belongs to. The system further comprises a lighting database mapping between lamps and zones, configured to receive an index of each of the one or more determined zones from the localization module, and based thereon to directly relate the one or more determined zones to one or more of the lamps in the lighting database; and a lighting access service configured to grant the mobile device with access to control of those lamps on condition of being related to the one or more determined zones by the lighting database.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an application server which provides a user of a mobile device with a location based service controlling functionality of an environment external to the mobile device, where the control of the functionality is conditional on an estimated location of the mobile device as estimated by a positioning algorithm. A feedback module is configured to infer a quality of the estimation from the behavior of the user, based on a manner in which the user interacts or attempts to interact with the functionality of the location based service. The feedback module then sends feedback of the inferred quality to the positioning algorithm.
