Patent
Automated Device Provisioning and Activation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method comprising providing a plurality of links to end-user devices communicatively coupled to a network system, a particular link of the plurality supporting control-plane communications between the network system and a particular user over one or more wireless access networks, the message comprising payload for delivery to the particular user and an identifier identifying a particular device agent on the particular enduser device.

Preferred contact group centric interface
Andrew Seattle Sherrard,Warren Mcneel,Jasdeep Singh Chugh,Stephen John O'connor,Mikkel Krone Koser,Richard Paul Pinner Turnnidge,Michael Thomas Hendrick,Gary Sentman,Karl Warfel,Wen-Hsing Chang,Sally Abolrous,Adrian Buzescu +11 more
TL;DR: A preferred contact group centric interface for a communication device can be used to facilitate communications by a user as mentioned in this paper, which can be arranged to activate from a user's "home page" on the display, from an idle screen that is accessed after a timeout period expires, or any other appropriate mechanism that activates the preferred contact groups centric experience.
Patent
Eyepiece with uniformly illuminated reflective display
Ralph F. Osterhout,John D. Haddick,Robert Michael Lohse,John N. Border,Gregory D. Miller,Ross W. Stovall +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an eyepiece includes a mechanical frame adapted to secure a lens and an image source facility above the lens, which includes an LED, a planar illumination facility and a reflective display.
Patent
Service Plan Design, User Interfaces, Application Programming Interfaces, and Device Management
Gregory G. Raleigh,Jose Tellado,Jeffrey Green,James Lavine,Justin James,Laurent An Minh Nguyen,Russell Bertrand Carter +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present methods, systems, and apparatuses to enable subscribers of mobile wireless communication devices to view, research, select and customize service plans; to create and manage device groups, share and set permission controls for service plans among devices in device groups; to manage communication services through graphical user interfaces; to sponsor and promote service plans.

Patent
Portable locator system and method
TL;DR: In this article, a tracking and locating system and method which provides for a lightweight and portable tracking locator device is presented, which is easily transferable from one user to another user or from a first object to second object.
Patent
Location based service restrictions for mobile applications
TL;DR: In this article, a cell phone system that controls the functionality of cell phones based upon their geographical locations is proposed, where a local or low power transmitter at each location transmits functionality information from the data bases to cell phones currently at the locations.
Patent
Systems and methods for using multiple hypotheses in a visual simultaneous localization and mapping system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use a visual sensor and dead reckoning sensors to process simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in robot navigation, which can be used to autonomously generate and update a map.
Patent
No-outage GPS/commercial RF positioning system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a no outage GPS/AM position finding system where a GPS system having a plurality of satellites transmits time and location data over radio frequency signals to enable a mobile GPS receiver station on the ground to determine its position, and a cellular telephone is carried with the mobile GPS receivers, traveling in range of a conventional ground based AM transmitters for transmitting AM signals.
Patent
Cell messaging process for an in-vehicle traffic congestion information system
TL;DR: In-Vehicle Traffic Congestion Information System (ICI) as mentioned in this paper consists of a technique to provide real-time traffic congestion data to drivers of suitably equipped vehicles, including apparatus for gathering and formatting data at a central location, transmitting the data to vehicles, processing data in the vehicles and presenting it to the drivers.
