An intelligent real estate system including an intelligent real estate sign having embedded processing functionality and a wireless communication device capable of receiving wireless electronic queries and programming instructions and for communicating with local and remote information sources about a real estate property and with controlling agents for reporting status. Further included is an electronic lock box controlling access to the real estate property and having an embedded wireless communication device capable of receiving messages and control signals from the real estate sign and from a property owner/occupant and/or real estate agents for reporting status. An earth battery may also be included, at least partially contained within the real estate sign and supplying power to the real estate sign.

A personal information system comprises a personal kiosk system ( ) and a personal presence identifier ( ) carried by a user and coupled to the personal kiosk system by a short-range two-way wireless link. The personal kiosk system and the personal presence identifier are arranged and programmed to establish a two-way personal area network with one another when the personal presence identifier is within wireless transmission range of the personal kiosk system. The personal presence identifier and the personal kiosk system are also arranged and programmed to exchange needs specifications and capability specifications with one another after establishing the two-way personal area network.

An entryway system includes a door entry system ( ) located near an entry door ( ), and a personal presence identifier ( ) carried by a guest and coupled to the door entry system by a short-range wireless link ( ). The door entry system and the personal presence identifier are arranged and programmed to establish a personal area network with one another when the personal presence identifier is within wireless transmission range of the door entry system. The door entry system is also programmed to determine ( ) whether further communications with the personal presence identifier are authorized. The personal presence identifier and the door entry system are also arranged and programmed to exchange ( ) needs specifications and capability specifications with one another after the door entry system has determined that further communications with the personal presence identifier are authorized.

A peer device ( ) is arranged and programmed for maintaining a virtual queue for an event, and a personal presence identifier ( ) is carried by a user and coupled to the peer device by a short-range two-way wireless link. The peer device and the personal presence identifier are arranged and programmed to establish (58) a two-way personal area network with one another when the personal presence identifier is within wireless transmission range of the peer device. The personal presence identifier and the peer device are also arranged and programmed to exchange (82) needs specifications and capability specifications with one another after establishing the two-way personal area network.

A communication and position locating system (2) suitable for air traffic control is described. Multiple satellites (40) are provided in two geosynchronous constellations. One constellation (e.g., 4 satellites) has a first closed ground track (14). The other (e.g., 2 satellites (161, 182)) has a different ground track (18) or is geostationary, located outside of the first ground track (14). Geolocation information is transmitted by the satellites (40) to aircraft (28) and ground stations (26) so that aircraft (28) can determine their current position. A pseudo range correction map is provided to the aircraft (28) by the base stations (26) to permit differential geolocation measurements. The satellites (40) include communication transceivers (80) so that aircraft (28) can communicate voice and data to other aircraft (28) and to the ground stations (26, 30, 32) and automatically report their position to air traffic control centers (30), e.g., via the satellites (40). High positional accuracy over large geographic areas is obtained.
