Patent

Methods for providing location of wireless devices using Wi-Fi

Cyril Houri
TL;DR: In this article, the authors maintain a collaborative database on a database server containing geographic location information pertaining to Wi-Fi access points and retrieve geographic location data for one or more access points from the database.
Patent

User interface for content channel hud (heads-up display) and channel sets for location-based maps

TL;DR: In this article, a navigation device for displaying at least one point-of-interest on a map comprises a channel set module to record a user defined channel set, and a display module to display the point of interest criteria associated with the user selected channel set.
Patent

Wireless end-user device with per-application data limit and traffic control policy list limiting background application traffic

TL;DR: In this article, a differential traffic control policy list is used to determine whether or not to apply a differential Traffic Control Policy (TCP) to an application requesting Internet service access.
Patent

Systems and methods for providing location-based security and/or privacy for restricting user access

TL;DR: In this article, a system is configured to restrict and condition access to the system and/or data based on a user's selection of location-based data from a plurality of options presented by the system for selection by the user.
Patent

Target addressing system

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and service for addressing users, vehicles, and service providers to targets using multi-segmented routes and/or targets whom are persons is presented.

RADAR: an in-building RF-based user location and tracking system

TL;DR: RADAR is presented, a radio-frequency (RF)-based system for locating and tracking users inside buildings that combines empirical measurements with signal propagation modeling to determine user location and thereby enable location-aware services and applications.

Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR)

TL;DR: The Optimized Link State Routing protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm tailored to the requirements of a mobile wireless LAN and provides optimal routes (in terms of number of hops).
