摘要： The position of a mobile gaming object within a video gaming environment is determined using at least one combined Radio Frequency (RF) signal. Each combined RF signal includes at least a pair of RF signals that have a known relationship therebetween. Based on signal information representative of properties of the combined RF signal as received and the known relationship, respective distances between the mobile gaming object and a plurality of transmitter/receivers can be determined. The position of the mobile gaming object within the video gaming environment is then determined from the distances.

摘要： Directional microphone or microphones for position determination. One or multiple directional microphones are implemented in various locations to perform acoustic wave capture of acoustic waves associated with object (e.g., a player, a gaming object, a game controller, etc.). The generator of such acoustic waves may be co-located with the object (e.g., integrated into the object if the object is a device such as a gaming object, a game controller, etc., or integrated into clothing worn by a player such as on a hat, a jacket, etc.). The acoustic waves described herein may be generated by any number of means/devices including audio output devices, speakers, pulse wave generators, audio oscillators, etc. Moreover, such acoustic waves may be ultrasonic. A game module and/or processing module processes directional vectors associated with positions of the directional microphones when detecting relative maximum amplitude of an acoustic wave emits by an acoustic wave generator.

摘要： A GNSS enabled mobile device selects an associated local GNSS clock or host clock as a clock source to operate a GNSS radio and one or more non-GNSS radios within the GNSS enabled mobile device. When the GNSS radio is in a GNSS active mode, the local GNSS clock is turned ON and selected to be shared with the host. The host operates the GNSS radio and the non-GNSS radios only using the local GNSS clock instead of the host clock. The host clock is turned OFF to save power. When the GNSS radio is in a GNSS inactive mode, the host clock is turned ON and selected to operate the non-GNSS radios. The local GNSS clock is turned OFF to save power. The non-GNSS radios comprise a Bluetooth radio, a WiFi radio, a FM radio, a cellular radio and/or a WiMAX radio.

摘要： A GNSS enabled mobile device is operable to receive two or more system clocks via from a plurality of associated non-GNSS communication networks, for example, GSM, GPRS, UMTS, EDGE, EGPRS, LTE, WiMAX, high-speed wireless LAN (WiFi), and/or short-range wireless (Bluetooth). The received system clocks are used to calibrate an local GNSS clock for the GNSS enabled mobile device. The GNSS enabled mobile device communicates the received system clocks with an associated GNSS receiver without using an external circuitry. The GNSS receiver selects a calibration clock from the received system clocks based on the status (active or inactive) of corresponding system clocks. An active system clock is selected as the calibration clock. The associated local GNSS clock is calibrated by removing clock errors from the associated local GNSS clock using the selected calibration clock. The calibrated local GNSS clock is used for detecting GNSS signals and/or processing detected GNSS signals.
