    摘要: This invention provides a method for locating a lost object by utilizing a stripped down cell-phone transceiver which is controlled in an on-off periodicity by an independent timer which is always on, and also has a low power GPS module. The invention provides for a software application to reside, for example, in an I-phone® and to interrogate the stripped down cell phone transceiver which is attached to the lost object and to display the lost object's location on a scalable map.

    摘要: Systems and methods for determining a direction and range, at a predetermined level of granularity, for a transmitting device in a communications system are presented. Determinations, based on indicia related to the signal conditions, information contained in the received signals, and/or inferences surrounding the transmission conditions can be employed in identifying a transmitter, determining the range and direction of a transmitter and/or identifying a relative location of a transmitter without relaying, retransmitting, and/or conveying the transmitted and received signal across a supporting communications network. These determinations can be formed centrally at the transmitting or receiving user equipment or mobile device or formed in a distributed manner between the transmitting and receiving user equipment or mobile devices across a communications system.

    摘要: An Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) comprising an integrated wireless receiver, a graphical display device, capability to utilize both internal and external GPS coordinate sources, an infrared background lighting adjustment algorithm, and a multi-LED strobe light array. The receiver provides a return communications path back to the beacon, which is used to acknowledge the receipt of the beacon's outgoing emergency signal by Search and Rescue satellites. The display is used to visually display various operational status information as well as any received messages coming back into the receiver. The GPS receiver system switches between internally derived and/or externally supplied GPS coordinates. The present invention also incorporates an Automatic Background Light Adjustment (ABLA) algorithm to compensate for the maximum range of light intensity encountered by infrared communications LEDs during daytime and nighttime operation. Additionally, a multi-LED array is used to flash a signaling strobe in a universal hemispherical pattern.

    摘要: A position determining system for a vehicle comprises an imaging unit for collecting image data. A wireless device reads or interrogates a radio frequency identification tag. An identification module determines whether the collected image data contains a visual landmark. A confirmation module determines whether the identified visual landmark is associated with a corresponding radio frequency identification tag having a particular tag identifier. A range finder or distance estimator determines a position offset of the vehicle with respect to the identified visual landmark. A data processor determines a vehicular position of the vehicle based on the determined position offset and a stored reference position associated with at least one of the visual landmark and the radio frequency identification tag.
