Abstract: A method of determining a location of a mobile device based on a first location estimation performed using a first location system, the method comprising: obtaining an initial estimate of the mobile device's location based on a second location estimation that is coarser than the first location estimation; using the initial estimate to select a subset of the reference nodes of the first network that are within a defined vicinity of the mobile device's location; and from amongst a database of respective assistance data for each of the wireless reference nodes stored on a server of the first location system, selectively providing the respective assistance data for each of said subset of wireless reference nodes to a localization module on the mobile device, for the localization module of the mobile device to calculate a finer estimate of the mobile device's location.

Abstract: A wireless device comprising: a wireless interface for communicating with a network of reference nodes, and a location module configured to obtain a measurement of a respective signal communicated between the wireless interface and each of a plurality of said reference nodes. The location module is also supplied with a respective set of transformed coordinates for each of said plurality of reference nodes, transformed relative to their actual physical coordinates. Using said signal measurements and the transformed coordinates of said plurality of reference nodes, the wireless device then submits information indicative of a transformed location of the wireless device to an interpretation function. Based on the interpretation function, the wireless device is thereby able to access functionality relating to the physical location of the mobile terminal.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for cloud-based monitoring and control of physical environments. In various embodiments, a computing device (1350, 1450, 1550) seeking to verify credentials of a lighting system controller (1352, 1452, 1552) may obtain unverified credentials of the lighting system controller. The computing device may transmit, to a first remote device via a first network communication channel, a request to verify the unverified credentials. The computing device may receive verification from the first remote device or a second remote device via a second network communication channel. The second network communication channel may be different than the first network communication channel. The computing device may compare the unverified credentials to the verification data and verify, based on the comparing, that the unverified credentials are legitimate. Based on the verification, the computing device may establish a lighting information communication channel between the computing device and the lighting system controller.

Abstract: In one aspect, a mobile device is located using a signal sent out from the mobile device to nodes of a location network, and the mobile device also sends a tracking preference associated with the signal. This specifies whether a location network is permitted to use the signal to determine the mobile's location, and/or whether a provider of a location related service associated with a location network is permitted to make use of the location. In embodiments the preference may be tagged with the ID of a particular provider. In another aspect, the localization is based on measurements taken by a mobile terminal of signals sent from the nodes, and the nodes also send out an identifier with the signal identifying a provider of a location related service associated with the network. The mobile device can then use this identifier to determine who to share its measurements or location with.

Abstract: A system (200) for protecting location information has beacons (240), a provider server (220) for providing at least one location based service, a location server (230) and mobile devices (210). The mobile device has a location engine (211) for controlling the location information and a location based application (212) for using the location information. The provider server generates unique data and authorizes the location based application, and subsequently provides location based services in dependence on an encrypted location. The location server determines the location based on a property of the radiation and encrypts the location. The location engine obtains a verification of customer data of the location based application, which indicates that use rights allow transfer of the location information to the location based application, and upon obtaining the verification transfers the encrypted location to the location based application. The location based application is authorized by the provider server, processes the encrypted location and uses the location based service.

Abstract: A wireless network (252) has a mesh structure of wireless communication links between nodes (210, 220). The network enables an unsecured node (230) to join the network by exchanging joining messages with a configurator (200). The configurator (200) is arranged for determining network security states including an insecure state in which all nodes are in the unsecured mode and the network is open for joining nodes; a partially secure state in which at least one node (210, 220) is in the secured mode and the network is open for joining nodes; and a secure state in which the network is closed to nodes in the unsecured mode. The nodes detect the security state and adapt their operation to the detected security state of the network and the mode of the device. The adapted operation enables flexible security bootstrapping of the network.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a lighting system which can be controlled from a wireless device in dependence on complying with an access rule that the wireless device is determined to be within in a spatial region associated with the lighting system. The disclosure provides apparatus for securing against the lighting system being controlled from a device located outside the relevant region via a rogue relay device located in that region. The apparatus comprises a user location module configured to determine user location information indicative of whether a user is accompanying the wireless device in the region associated with the lighting system, and an access module which is configured with a further access rule: that it does not allow the control of the lighting system by the wireless device if the user location information is indicative of the wireless device being unaccompanied by a user.
