Abstract:
A processing system including at least one processor may detect a first location and a first orientation of an augmented reality endpoint device of a user at a venue, identify an entryway of a first enclosed space of the venue that is within a first field-of-view of the augmented reality endpoint device in accordance with the first location and the first orientation of the augmented reality endpoint device, and present, via the augmented reality endpoint device, first visual information of the first enclosed space. The first visual information may include first imagery of the first enclosed space and may be presented within the first field-of-view.
Abstract:
A processing system including at least one processor may detect a location and an orientation of an augmented reality endpoint device of a user at a venue, identify a permission zone of the venue within a field of view of the augmented reality endpoint device in accordance with the location and the orientation of the augmented reality endpoint device, determine at least one condition for the user to access the permission zone, and present, via the augmented reality endpoint device, first visual information associated with the at least one condition for the user to access the permission zone, where the first visual information associated with the at least one condition is presented within the field of view and comprises at least one feature indicative of an association with the permission zone.
Abstract:
An anonymous location wireless network service for use in a wireless network. The service provides content providers with the location of network users without revealing their identities. The service includes a wireless network having a proxy server, a network communication link to a plurality of web sites, and a wireless communication link to a plurality of handheld devices. The proxy server blocks identity by reading the location and identity information of network devices, generating dummy identifications, relating the dummy identifications to the identity information, storing the relationships in a memory storage, and forwarding the location information and dummy identifications to the global computer network. Upon receiving messages from the global computer network, the proxy server reads the dummy identifications, looks up the related identification information in the memory storage, and forwards the data to the appropriate network devices.
Abstract:
The present invention is a system and method for conducting survey using wireless devices. The system architecture of the present invention comprises a location server and a location system. The location server can receive a survey request from a subscriber, delineate a survey area for the survey, broadcast a query containing the survey to a plurality of wireless devices, process responses received from the wireless devices, and deliver a result of the survey to the subscriber. The location system can generate location information for each of the wireless devices that received the query. The location system may be a network-based unit or a portable unit provisioned at each of the wireless devices. In one of the embodiments, the location system is a GPS receiver that generates the longitude and the latitude of the wireless devices at which it is provisioned.

Abstract:
A processing system of a carrier transport vehicle including at least one processor may obtain a notification of a luggage item to be placed in a stowage bin of the carrier transport vehicle, the notification including an identifier of the luggage item, detect, via the identifier of the luggage item, that the luggage item is proximate to the stowage bin, where the identifier of the luggage item is obtained via a wireless signal from the luggage item, and present at least one visual indicator associated with the stowage bin, in response to the detecting that the luggage item is proximate to the stowage bin.
Abstract:
A network-connected electronic device may obtain, at a location, a notification that a network-connected sensor device at the location is activated in response to a triggering of a critical rule of the network-connected sensor device, determine whether the triggering of the critical rule of the network-connected sensor device will activate a function of the network-connected electronic device, activate the function of the network-connected electronic device in response to the determining that the triggering of the critical rule of the network-connected sensor device will activate the function of the network-connected electronic device.
Abstract:
A processing system may detect a physical location of a user via at least one mobile computing device of the user, where the user is to be authenticated for a network-based transaction, identify at least one network-connected sensor device at the physical location, and determine, from the at least one network-connected sensor device, a set of environmental conditions of an environment of the physical location. The processing system may next identify at least one action for the user to perform to interact with at least one aspect of the environment in accordance with the set of environmental conditions and transmit an instruction to the user to perform the at least one action. The processing system may then obtain sensor data from the at least one network-connected sensor device, determine, from the sensor data, that the user performed the at least one action, and authenticate the user for the network-based transaction.
Abstract:
A processing system including at least one processor may detect at least one dark zone in a vicinity of a user, determine at least one lighting feature for an illumination of the at least one dark zone in accordance with a user profile of the user, identify at least one light source to provide the illumination of the at least one dark area in accordance with the at least one lighting feature that is determined, and transmit an instruction to the at least one light source to provide the illumination of the at least one dark zone in accordance with the at least one lighting feature that is determined.
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for using location information associated with wireless devices. The system includes a wireless device, a location system, and a feature server. The wireless device includes any wireless apparatus having wireless communications capabilities. The location system can generate location information pinpointing the location of the wireless device. The feature server can use the location information to determine whether to execute an action in accordance with subscriber rules. A large number of applications may be implemented to execute the action via a number of communication channels, including without limitation, a wireless communications network, a computer network, and a public switched telephone system, for example.
