    Abstract: Indoor positioning networks are faced with several challenges. The methods employed by many indoor positioning systems require highly accurate time synchronization. Where many responders must be synchronized together, the accuracy of the time-synchronization can be improved via a synchronization tree that identifies preferable paths to synchronize responders and eliminates ambiguity. Moreover, where absolute location information is available for less than all of the responders, accurate round trip time measurement can be used to obtain the relative locations of the responders to each other. Where the relative locations are known, any absolute location of a responder can be extrapolated to the remaining responders. Finally, with the use of appropriate algorithms, these round trip time measurements can be collected in reference to a device that is stationary or moving.

    Abstract: In a recognition method, movement characteristics of an object are determined based on sensor information; image information of the object is determined based on the sensor information; and one or more gesture recognition operations are performed based on the movement characteristics and the image information to generate gesture recognition information. The recognition method may further include determining one or more physical characteristics of the object based on the image information; performing one or more physical characteristic pattern recognition operations based on the one or more physical characteristics to generate pattern recognition information; and generating a recognition output signal based on the gesture recognition information and the pattern recognition information.
