摘要： System and method for determining location-enhanced presence information for a particular entity subscribed to a communications system. Location information indicative of a current location for the particular entity is obtained, as well as presence information indicative of a current activity status of the particular entity within the communications system. A combination of the current location and current activity status of the particular entity is applied as a condition to a set of conditional rules associated with the particular entity, for determining current location-enhanced presence information for the particular entity.

摘要： System and method for dynamically re-directing communications sessions destined for a particular entity in a communications system, each communications session being associated with at least one predefined route. Location information indicative of a current location of the particular entity is obtained and applied to a predefined set of conditional routing rules associated with the particular entity. This rules-based processing generates a routing result, on the basis of which the at least one predefined route associated with each communications session destined for the particular entity is dynamically updated.

摘要： System and method for dynamically reconfiguring communications session routing in a communications system, each communications session being destined for a particular entity and being associated with at least one predefined route. Location information indicative of a current location for the particular entity is obtained and applied, in combination with at least one other type of information affecting routing of communications sessions to the particular entity, to a predefined set of conditional routing rules associated with the particular entity. This rules-based processing generates a routing result, on the basis of which the at least one predefined route associated with each communications session destined for the particular entity is dynamically updated. The at least one other type of information affecting routing of communications sessions to the particular entity may include presence information, location-enhanced presence information, entity profile information and administrative information.

摘要： The present invention relates to a system and method for providing power management to sensing nodes in a sensor network. A system may include a plurality of sensing nodes, each sensing node connected through a power management device to an external power source, such as a powered node of another network, for managing power from the external power source to the sensing node. Beneficially, a plurality of power management devices allow for a sensor network of fixed or mobile wireless sensing nodes or sensor gateways to make use of power from an external source such as an another network e.g. an existing emergency lighting system or other similar powered building system. Thus for example, a sensor or group of sensing nodes and their associated power management devices may be integral with or co-located in proximity to powered nodes of these other networks. An intelligent power management device connected to at least one of the sensing nodes may provide for power policy management to sensing nodes based on monitoring power conditions such as available power, power level status, and information obtained from the sensing nodes indicative of network conditions, detecting a change therein, and regulating power to the sensing node depending on the change

摘要： A method of controlling RF interference in a healthcare establishment. The method comprises receiving data regarding a wirelessly detectable tag associated to a first piece of equipment within the healthcare establishment; determining whether the first piece of equipment is positioned relative to a second piece of equipment within the healthcare establishment such that an RF interference constraint is violated, based at least in part on the data regarding the wirelessly detectable tag; and responsive to the RF interference constraint being violated, causing a variation in RF power transmitted by at least one of the first piece of equipment and the second piece of equipment. In this way, wireless communication equipment can be used in the healthcare establishment without deleterious effects on sensitive medical equipment.

摘要： A system for detecting potentially suspicious motion of a piece of equipment in a healthcare establishment. The system comprises a first functional entity adapted to determine a set of authorized clinicians associated with the piece of equipment; a second functional entity adapted to determine, based at least in part on data regarding wirelessly detectable tags associated with the authorized clinicians and the piece of equipment, when the piece of equipment is in motion and satisfies a remoteness condition with respect to a subset of the authorized clinicians; and a third functional entity adapted to signal potentially suspicious motion of the piece of equipment in response to the piece of equipment being in motion and satisfying the remoteness condition with respect to the subset of the authorized clinicians. In this way, it may be possible to thwart an attempted theft of equipment.
