Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward controlling electronic devices based on hand gestures detected by detecting the topography of a portion of a user's body. For example, pressure data indicative of a user's bone and tissue position corresponding to a certain movement, position, and/or pose of a user's hand may be detected. An electromyographic (EMG) sensor coupled to the user's skin can also be used to determine gestures made by the user. These sensors can be coupled to a camera that can be used to capture images, based on recognized gestures, of a device. The device can then be identified and controlled.

Abstract: Techniques for designing a sensor module that may be inserted into a container, for example, a box, for tracking RFID-labeled items enclosed in the container. In an exemplary embodiment, at least two planar surfaces are adjoined along a linear interface. Each of the planar surfaces supports a planar antenna whose radiation pattern may cover the volume of the container. A battery-powered tracking unit is attached to at least one of the planar surfaces to drive the planar antennas. In an exemplary embodiment, the planar antennas may be driven in succession to avoid collisions between the RFID communication signals, and for better RFID coverage of the items enclosed in the container.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a location of a wireless device using radio waves and pressure measurements is disclosed. In one embodiment, a plurality of Radio Signal Strength (RSS) measurements are used to trilaterate an approximate location of the wireless device. The wireless device also takes pressure measurements that are compared with a second pressure measurement made by at least one other pressure sensor at a known elevation and in a local area near the wireless device. This comparison is used to generate an accurate estimate of the elevation of the wireless device. The accurate estimate of elevation may be combined with the RSS measurements to yield an accurate estimate of the location of the wireless device.

A group profile request may be received for a set of mobile access terminal users in the identified geographic region. User profile information may be requested for each of the users. User profiles may be aggregated to generate an aggregated group profile. The aggregated group profile may be distributed (e.g., for use in selecting advertisements at an entertainment venue to reflect the users currently in attendance).

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for determining the geospatial position/location of a mobile device by using transmissions from surrounding wireless utility meters and prior knowledge of the locations of the surrounding meters. A mobile device may receive transmissions from a plurality of wireless utility meters, and determine signal strengths and meter identifiers of each of the plurality of wireless utility meters from the received transmissions. The signal strengths and meter identifiers may be compared to data records stored in a wireless utility meter signal signature database to identify a best match data record, which may include geographic coordinates that may be used by the mobile device to determine its current geospatial position and/or location.

The portable token device may include: an interface; and a processor. The processor may execute operations including: determining if a close proximity coupling through the interface to a first device has occurred; transmitting a PIN request to the first device; and obtaining a PIN. Further, the processor may determine if a close proximity coupling through the interface to a second device has occurred. If so, the processor may command transmitting the PIN to the second device. The second device may perform device registration with the first device based upon the received PIN.
