    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for a proximity-based connection facilitation device (“PBC”) may be described which may facilitate discovery and connection to computing devices. The PBC may present visual elements representing devices based on their locations, such as their proximity to the PBC. The PBC may present visual elements for a limited set of devices. The PBC may present computing devices in a visual manner that may depict their proximity to the PBC. The PBC may also provide for facilitated connection to devices that are not as proximate to the PBC. The PBC may facilitate identification of devices that are proximate to an identified device. By facilitating a user in selecting a first device and then visualizing devices proximate to the first device, the PBC may facilitate a user in chaining from a first device to devices that are less easily identified. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for performing RFID motion tracking in an intelligent manner that facilitates the generation of accurate and useful metrics for marketing and other applications. The techniques function to reduce problematic false positive rates on RFID tags attached to items to improve the accuracy of the motion presence of a small subset of browsed items among a much larger set of tagged items in the same space. This accurate motion inference enables the calculation of metrics such as customer-item interaction duration, pauses in interactions (potentially indicating close examining), and the extraction of patterns of motion that can indicate interest leading to realized sales, as well as concurrent motion detection of multiple items indicating which related items shall be placed in close proximity to increase sales of matching items.

    Abstract: A positioning device and positioning method in which a first wireless signal is transmitted along a first signal path having a first signal path angle that changes relative to time; second wireless signal data representing a response of a wireless station to the first wireless signal is received; a third wireless signal is transmitted along a second signal path; and an assumption that an obstruction is between the wireless communication device and the wireless station is generated if the wireless communication device receives a response from the wireless station to the first wireless signal but does not receive a response from the wireless station to the third wireless signal; wherein the second signal path is a linear path.
