Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a location service and method for providing a location aware computing device extensible by allowing different types of location awareness providers to operate with the service. SOLUTION: The method comprises functions of receiving a request for a location context, acquiring data associated with a current location from one or more location detecting devices, reconciling the acquired data for any inconsistencies concerning the current location by applying either or both of a hierarchical process and a metric process, and generating a location object accessible to applications. The service comprises a location management component configured to route location data, a fuser engine configured to receive location reports generated from the location data, to reconcile conflicts between the location reports and to generate a location object, and a location application programming interface (API) coupled to the location management component to transmit the location object from the fuser engine to an application.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for selecting a network and an interface which span a plurality of media. SOLUTION: This disclosed system facilitates automated network interface configuration decision-making, that spans a set of networks supporting communications via differing media. A set of media specific modules associated with differing communications media acquire network interface status/capabilities information. A rules engine thereafter applies a designated network selection rules to the acquired network interface status/capabilities information, and any other appropriate parameters attributable to either an interface or network, and selects one or more networks and interfaces, in order to establish/maintain a connection.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain a zero configuration nomadic wireless and wired computing environment. SOLUTION: This system examines predefined user preference or profile settings (step 268) to determine to which of a competing number of wireless networks available it should connect, and what type of authentication should be used for such connection (step 274). A user may set a preference for infrastructure (288) or ad hoc modes (step 280) in the auto mode. With infrastructure mode preference setting, when the user has already operated off-line or in ad hoc mode (step 288), the system automatically detects and transfers connection to a newly available infrastructure wireless network (steps 292 to 294 to 266).

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a zero configuration nomadic wireless and wired computing environment. SOLUTION: The system examines predefined user preferences or profile settings (Step 268), to determine to which of competing number of wireless networks available it should connect, and what type of authentication should be used for such a connection (step 274). In automatic mode, the user may set a preference for infrastructure (step 288) or and hoc modes (step 280); and in infrastructure mode preference set, if the user has previously operated off-line or in ad hoc mode (step 288), the system will automatically detect and transfer connectivity to a newly available infrastructure wireless network (steps 292-294-266).

Abstract: A system and method for enabling a zero configuration nomadic wireless and wired computing environment presenting a just works experience is presented. The system examines predefined user preference or profile settings to determine to which of a competing number of wireless networks available it should connect, and what type of authentication should be used for such connection. Nomadic wireless computing between infrastructure wireless networks and ad hoc wireless networks may be accomplished without further user intervention required in an auto mode. Also, both infrastructure only and ad hoc only modes are available through the system of the invention. Further, the user may set a preference for infrastructure or ad hoc modes in the auto mode. With an infrastructure mode preference set, the system will automatically detect and transfer connectivity to a newly available infrastructure wireless network if the user was previously operating off-line or in ad hoc mode.

Abstract: A location service and method provides a location aware computing device that is extensible by allowing different types of location awareness providers operate with the service. The method includes receiving a request for a location context, acquiring data associated with a current location from one or more location detection devices, reconciling the acquired data for any inconsistencies concerning the current location by applying either or both of a hierarchical and a metric process, and generating a location object accessible to applications. The service includes a location management component configured to route location data, a fuser engine configured to receive one or more location reports generated from the location data, reconcile conflicts between the location reports and generate a location object, and one or more location application programming interfaces (APIs) coupled to the location management component to transmit the location object from the fuser engine to an application.
