    Abstract: A proximity fence can be a location-agnostic fence defined by signal sources having no geographic location information. The proximity fence can correspond to a group of signal sources instead of a point location fixed to latitude and longitude coordinates. A signal source can be a radio frequency (RF) transmitter broadcasting a beacon signal. The beacon signal can include a payload that includes an identifier indicating a category to which the signal source belongs, and one or more labels indicating one or more subcategories to which the signal source belongs. The proximity fence defined by the group of signal sources can trigger different functions of application programs associated with the proximity fence on a mobile device, when the mobile device moves within the proximity fence and enters and exits different parts of the proximity fence corresponding to the different subcategories.

    Abstract: An electronic device is described. When this electronic device transmits a request packet to another electronic device with a discovery request, the electronic device stores information specifying the discovery request. If a response packet with an answer to the discovery request is received from the other electronic device, the electronic device stores additional information included in the answer. This additional information specifies a position in an information hierarchy in the other electronic device and a data format associated with the position. By partially caching the information and the additional information, the electronic device may significantly reduce the number of request and response messages, and thus the delay, when the electronic device subsequently accesses data in the information hierarchy.

    Abstract: A method for detecting the proximity of a signal source using wireless systems is contemplated in which a wireless mobile device wirelessly receives packets from a signal source and determines a received signal strength for each packet. The wireless mobile device may store information based upon the received signal strength for each packet, and calculate from the information stored for all the packets, a current path loss value corresponding to a current distance from the wireless mobile device to the signal source. The wireless mobile device may then determine whether the current distance is sufficient to be an enabling condition such as tap, for example, for a data transfer or a transaction between the wireless mobile device and the signal source.
