Abstract: Using scent fingerprints and sound fingerprints for location and proximity determinations can include detecting a movement of a user device relative to an environment, and determining if a fingerprint associated with the user device and the environment is available. The fingerprint can include a sound fingerprint, a scent fingerprint, and usage data defining resource usage of the user device at the environment, The fingerprint associated with the user device and the environment can be obtained with an instance of sensor data including a scent detected at the user device and a sound detected at the user device. Based on the instance of sensor data and the fingerprint associated with the user device and the environment, a location and proximity of the user device can be determined.

Abstract: An inertial head-tracking system includes light emitting diodes (LEDs) and photoreceptors. The LEDs and photoreceptors are positioned around the environment and helmet respectively. A processor periodically receives measurements from the photoreceptors and resets inertial drift based on those measurements. Either the LEDs or the photoreceptors are constrained to a specified range to allow for more accurate drift estimation.

Abstract: Provided is an in-store dual-mode communication system in which shelves are disposed within a commercial space. A server is coupled to the Internet and/or a wide-area network and is configured to send and receive communications. Also provided are light-based messaging units that are located on and/or attached to such shelves, each: 1) having a light source, 2) receiving a communication from the server, and 3) in response to receipt of such communication, turning the light source on and off so as to broadcast a digital message that was included within such communication, as a binary-encoded digital signal corresponding to on/off states of the light source. A user device: (i) receives, via its light sensor, and then decodes the binary-encoded digital signal from a light-based messaging unit in order to obtain the digital message that corresponds to it; and also (ii) communicates with the server via its wireless interface.

Abstract: A method for identifying and tracking an inventory item is provided. The method includes using two or more sensors to produce two or more outputs associated with an inventory item, including at least one of a possible identifier for the inventory item and a possible event type indicating whether the inventory item has been taken from a shelf or placed onto a shelf. The method further includes generating confidence levels for the inventory item, wherein each respective confidence level is based on a subset of one or more outputs, and identifying, based on the confidence levels, a prediction for the inventory item including at least one of a predicted identifier for the inventory item and a predicted event type for the inventory item.

Abstract: A sensor system and a method of operating a sensor system including a plurality of sensors tracking a moving object in an area having known bounding surfaces. The apparatus and method calculate a time-specific position of the object based on data and sensor parameters from at least two of the plurality of sensors and determine errors between the calculated time-specific positions calculated. The method and apparatus calculate a minimum system error attributable to the at least two sensors by constraining at least one dimension in the data of the sensor used in the calculated time-specific position of the object associated with the sensor, the constraining based on an object/surface interaction, the minimum system error calculated by solving for modified sensor parameters for each sensor.
