Embodiments disclosed herein include security systems and methods for securing an electronic device. In some embodiments, the security system may include an electronic device including surveillance components, including a microphone and a camera. The security device may be secured to the electronic device in a way that blocks or interferes with one or more of these surveillance components. Additionally, the security device may be placed near or on the electronic device. The security device may also include security components to distort sounds from a sound source to be detected by the microphone. As a result, this may prevent third parties from at least remotely streaming or recording live audio and/or video from various audio and video recording components present on the electronic device.

System and method for securing electronic devices

The disclosure is directed to determining a change in position of a location marker. In an aspect, it is determined whether the location marker is in a motion state or a static state using sensors integrated into the location marker, in response to the determining, one or more reachable nodes are discovered, and distance measurements are calculated from the location marker to each of the one or more reachable nodes.

Method and apparatus for determining a change in position of a location marker

A system and method are provided for tracking an interrogator relay unit (IRU) associated with a mobile asset within a structure, comprising: integrating one or more RFID tags within building materials within the structure; emitting an RF interrogation signal using the IRU; receiving, at the IRU, location data from one or more RFID tags in response to the RF interrogation signal; and transmitting the location data, an identification information of the IRU, and timestamp data to a remote server using the IRU.

System and method for tracking shopping behavior

The present invention provides a system and method for tracking an interrogator relay unit disposed on a shopping cart within a store. The method comprises emitting an RF interrogation signal using the IRU; receiving, at the IRU, location data from an RFID tag in response to the RF interrogation signal; transmitting the location data, an identification information of the IRU, and timestamp data to a remote server using the IRU; and generating a behavior report using the transmitted location data, the identification information, and the timestamp data.

System and method for tracking shopping behaviors

The present invention provides a system and method for obtaining location-based data on a mobile device that comprises receiving location data from a RFID tag using the mobile device, transmitting identification data of the mobile device and the location data to a remote system, receiving customized data from the remote system, wherein the customized data are based on the location data from the RFID tag and the device ID, and presenting the customized data on the mobile device.

Systems and methods for location based communication

The present invention provides systems and methods for locating an entity both within and outside of a structure using an RFID system in conjunction with other location systems and methods. The RFID systems may include a portable RF transmitter/receiver transported by the entity within the structure, a base unit, and a plurality of RFID tags. The methods may comprise the steps of: (a) emitting an RF interrogation signal at constant, predetermined intervals; (b) powering up and emitting a signal containing location data; (c) receiving the location data and broadcasting the location data to the base unit; and (d) receiving and displaying the location data; wherein steps (a) and (c) are performed by the RF transmitter/receiver, step (b) is performed by an RFID tag when the RF interrogation signal is within an effective range of the RFID tag, and step (d) is performed by the base unit.

Systems and methods for locating an entity

The present invention provides method for locating an entity within a structure using RFID system including a portable RF transmitter/receiver transported by the entity within the structure, a base unit, and a plurality of RFID tags, the method comprising the steps of: (a) emitting an RF interrogation signal at constant, predetermined intervals; (b) powering up and emitting a signal containing location data; (c) receiving the location data and broadcasting the location data to the base unit; and (d) receiving and displaying the location data; wherein steps (a) and (c) are performed by the RF transmitter/receiver, step (b) is performed by an RFID tag when the RF interrogation signal is within an effective range of the RFID tag, and step (d) is performed by the base unit.

Methods for locating an entity within a structure using RFID

The present invention provides an RFID system for locating an entity within a structure, the system comprising a portable RF transmitter/receiver transported by the entity within the structure, a base unit, and a plurality of passive RFID tags, wherein the RF transmitter/receiver records the location of an RF tag and broadcasts the location of the RF tag to the base unit.
