    摘要: Techniques for determining movement of a device away from a preferred location which provide notification. An example method includes receiving a signal from a beacon, determining a measure of a characteristic of the signal, performing a comparison of the measure of the characteristic to a predetermined threshold which is based upon a distance from the preferred location, determining that the device has moved at least the distance from the preferred location based upon the comparison, and issuing an alert.

    摘要: Devices to aid in finding items, along with methods of operation of the devices. The resultant movement of an item during use, and lack of movement of an item during non-use, are exploited to alert a user to the whereabouts of the item through adaptive techniques. A device is associated with an item (e.g., attached to an item) and is configured to sense motion events corresponding to movement of the device and to track corresponding times of occurrence of the motion events. The device may adaptively determine a time interval of motion inactivity or an alert time at which to provide an indication of a current location of the device based on one or more of the motion events and the times of occurrence.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for tracking group members' proximity include associating a plurality of sensors with an application installed on each of a plurality of user devices and assigning each of the sensors to a corresponding one of the user devices. Assignments received on one of the user devices are wirelessly communicated to at least one other of the user devices, and proximity of each of the sensors to the corresponding user device is monitored. Status information is communicated between two or more of the user devices, and the status information indicates proximity of sensors to the corresponding user device and/or sensor assignments.

    摘要: A device locator system is disclosed for locating misplaced smart devices or other electronic devices. The device locator system comprises a key fob component and a device component. The key fob component comprises a hand held unit and a transceiver that receives and transmits a signal. The device component is in communication with the misplaced smart device and comprises a transceiver that receives and transmits the signal from the key fob component. Once the response signal from the device component is received by the key fob component, the distance between the key fob and the misplaced device is calculated and then displayed on the LCD screen of the key fob component. The key fob component also comprises a software application that enables the key fob component to be able to register and maintain a list of all smart devices owned by the user.

    摘要: A method for locating a transmitter using a receiver which include, but are not limited to the steps of transmitting a plurality of distinctive and orthogonally polarized signals from a transmitter; receiving the transmitted signals at a pair of separated antennas; demodulating the distinctive orthogonal signals received at each of the pair of separated antennas; and determining a direction to the transmitter from the signals received at the pair of antennas. The system for determining the location of a transmitter using a receiver includes, but is not limited to, having a transmitter adapted for orthogonally transmitting a plurality of distinctive signals; a receiver having a pair of separated antennas for receiving the orthogonally transmitted signals; separate demodulators in the receiver for each antenna of the pair of separated antennas for demodulating the distinctive signals; and signal processing circuitry in the receiver adapted for using the demodulated distinctive signals for determining a direction to the transmitter.

    摘要: The invention provides a determination of direction to a remote object which omnidirectionally transmits a signal. The invention includes a handheld directional and omnidirectional antenna at a user's location and a handheld circuit coupled to the antennas to determine field strengths of the signal received from the remote object by the two antennas. A comparison of the received signals at the antennas during a sweep a field of observation is made and a probable direction of the remote object relative to the user's location is selected from the data sweep. The apparatus may further comprise a digital compass which generates a compass heading corresponding to each direction in which the directional antenna is pointed. The circuit stores field strength data by compass heading and averages the field strength data according to a predetermined protocol over compass headings.
