摘要:
Embodiments calculate an estimated latency between computing devices. A latency service aggregates latency records defining latency measurements and corresponding latency factors from a plurality of computing devices. From the aggregated latency records, the latency service defines relationships between the latency measurements and the corresponding latency factors. Responsive to a request for an estimated latency from a mobile computing device, the latency service applies the defined relationships to estimate the latency based on the latency factors associated with the received request. In some embodiments, the estimated latency includes three portions: a first latency value representing the latency from the mobile computing device to a cell site, a second latency value representing the latency from the cell site to an access point, and a third latency value representing the latency from the access point to a destination computing device.

Training datasets and test datasets consisting of observations (i.e., RSS measurements) partitioned per a mapping tile system are used to evaluate possible RSS weighting functions for each such tile. The observations from the training dataset are used to determine an optimal weighting function based on the training dataset that minimizes the error for the test data, wherein the error may be a function of the deltas between GPS positions of observations in the test dataset and predicted positions from the RSS weighted functions applied to test data. The accuracy of the optimal weighted function for each tile is characterized to determine whether to use the weighted function or an alternative (such as a non-weighted function) for subsequent inquiries.
摘要:
Determining geospatial patterns from device data collected from a plurality of computing devices. The devices represent, for example, a plurality of sources providing the device data. The device data describes the computing devices and/or environments thereof. Some embodiments present the determined patterns to users for editing, update maps with the edited patterns, and distribute the maps to the users. The maps are stored to create a searchable map library.

Location inference using selected beacons. Data is received representing a set of beacons observed by a computing device. The beacons are located within a first geographic area. A subset (e.g., a clique) of the beacons is selected based on a coverage area of each of the beacons, where each of the beacons in the selected subset has a coverage area that overlaps with the coverage area of each of the other beacons in the selected subset. Using known or estimated positions of the beacons, a second geographic area is defined based on the selected subset of beacons and the beacon reference data and the coverage areas associated therewith. The second geographic area, smaller than the first geographic area, represents an approximate location of the computing device. In some embodiments, the computing device is calculated to be within the second geographic area with 95% probability.

A selective call radio (100) has a radio frequency transceiver (102), and a processor (104) for controlling operations of the transceiver. The processor is programmed to cause (202) the transceiver to receive a third party call while the SCR is actively engaged in an end user call, and respond (203) to the third party call according to a call response profile defined by an end user of the SCR.
摘要:
Software code sections can include at least one calling procedure (110) and a called procedure (140). The called procedure can include an interpreted code body (144). Execution of the interpreted code body can require the use of an associated interpreter. The software code sections can also include prologue (142) associated with the called procedure. The prologue can be invoked by the at least one calling procedure and can responsively actuate the interpreted code body causing programmatic actions defined within the interpreted code body to execute. Execution of the prologue does not require use of an interpreter. In one embodiment, the interpreted code body of the called procedure can execute upon a platform having an application binary interface (115). The prologue can actuate the interpreted code body according to specifications of the application binary interface.

A method (500) of activating an application in a client/server environment can include the steps of selectively highlighting (502) an application on a user interface on a client device (10) wirelessly linked to a server (25, 26, or 27) and launching and activating the application and connecting (508) to the server upon selecting an input (37) (such as such as a PTT button) on the client device. The step of selectively highlighting can include the optional steps of scrolling (504) through a phonebook menu of options and selectively highlighting a connectivity identifier (506) among a plurality of connectivity identifiers. The client device can optionally connect to the server via a network associated with the connectivity identifier selectively highlighted (510). The method can further include the step of receiving (512) a response from the server in a form emulating a push-to-talk response.
