    Abstract: A system for determining a new orientation and/or position of an object comprises a sky polarimeter configured to record image data of the sky, a signal processing unit, and logic configured to receive and store in memory the image data received from the sky polarimeter. The logic calculates the Stokes parameters (S0, S1, S2,), DoLP, and AoP from the image data, detects obscurants and filters the obscurants (such as clouds and trees) from the image data to produce a filtered image. The logic is further configured to find the Sun and zenith in the filtered image, and to determine the roll, pitch, yaw, latitude and longitude of the object using the filtered image. A method for determining a new position/orientation of an object comprises recording raw image data using a sky polarimeter, calculating S0, S1, S2, DoLP, and AoP from the image data, detecting obscurants and filtering the obscurants from the image data to produce a filtered image, obtaining last known position/orientation data of the object, finding the Sun and zenith in the filtered image, and determining the roll, pitch, yaw, latitude and longitude of the object using the filtered image.

    Abstract: Methods, program products, and systems of using a mobile WAP for location and context purposes are disclosed. In general, in one aspect, a server can estimate an effective location of a wireless access gateway using harvested data. The server can harvest location data from multiple mobile devices. The harvested data can include a location of each mobile device and an identifier of a wireless access gateway that is located within a communication range of the mobile device. In some implementations, the server can identify a mobile wireless access gateway based on a distance comparison. Data indicating the mobility of a wireless access gateway can be used by a mobile device to initiate one or more actions, including managing power of the mobile device, modifying entrance and exit conditions of virtual fences and determining a context of the mobile device.

    Abstract: Techniques for supporting positioning are described. In an example implementation, a method of positioning may be provided which comprises, at a mobile station, receiving at least one signal from a transmitter device. Here, the received signal may comprise an identity of the transmitter device. The mobile station may send an identity of the transmitter device to a location server, and receive one or more positioning assistance messages from the location server, wherein the one or more positioning assistance messages are generated in response to the identity of the transmitter device. The mobile station may subsequently perform positioning based at least in part on the one or more positioning assistance messages received from the location server.

This light based positioning service uses light information transmitted by each light source to determine the position of the device. The positioning information can include three dimension position information in a building that can then be used to deliver services and information to a mobile device. The content delivered to a mobile device can include multimedia, text, audio, and/or pictorial information. The positioning information along with other location or positioning information can be used in providing augmented reality or location aware services. The light sources can be independent beacons that broadcast information in visible light at a rate that is undetectable by the human eye. Content can be retrieved from a server over a communications connection.

    Abstract: A portable device, for example an offender monitor, can utilize a location detector, such as a GPS receiver, to provide location information for the device. The portable device can utilize geofences in connection with managing device location and can communicate over a cellular network, for example using a radio to transmit location readings over the network. The location detector and the radio can draw power from an onboard battery. To conserve battery life, the rate of acquiring location readings can be adjusted according to distance between the device and a geofence of interest. For example, a GPS data acquisition rate can increase as the device approaches a geofence and decrease as the device moves away from the geofence.
