Some implementations disclosed herein enable matching identifiers across multiple sources. This may involve adding a unique attribute (e.g., anonymous unique homomorphic identifiers) and/or using randomization to enable comparing data from multiple sources, while also maintaining data privacy. In one example, matches across multiple sources are identified, for example, identifying that there are 100 user identifiers that are in private data sets of three different sources. Such matching may be used to enable private, multi-touch attribution. In another example, techniques are used to determine that data maintained by one source is not also within other sources (e.g., identifying that there are 200 user identifiers that are in data from a first source but not in data from a second source and not in data from a third source. Such determinations may be used to generate control group data that does not match data from other sources.

Multi-touch attribution and control group creation using private commutative encrypted match service

Location graph-based derivation of user attributes. Location data associated with a user, such as a current and/or past location at which the user has been, is received. A user attribute data associated with the location data is determined and used to update a user profile associated with the user.

Location graph based derivation of attributes

Location graph-based derivation of user attributes is disclosed. In various embodiments, location data associated with a user, such as a current and/or past location at which the user has been, is received. A user attribute data associated with the location data is determined and used to update a user profile associated with the user.

Embedded devices in a data communications network are arranged to formulate XML data messages containing data representing the operation of the embedded device. The software in the embedded device acts as a server that can be accessed over the network by a browser program in a computer to monitor device operation. The browser program can formulate XML command messages which are sent over the network to the embedded device to control its operation.

XML control management

In a wireless local area network which includes access point having variable transmitter power levels, transmitter power data is sent from the access points to the mobile units and used by the mobile units in order to provide a corresponding variation in the transmitter power of the mobile unit.

Transmit power control for mobile unit

A product location information retrieval system for use by a customer in a retail establishment including a computer terminal with an optical reader arranged to receive a data input query from the customer using the terminal and relating to a product, and a display in the terminal for displaying an image of a product to be accessed by the user.

A method and apparatus for the configuration of a wireless network adapter is disclosed. A wireless network adapter is provided with software that enables the adapter to recognize and connect with one or more networks. Software profiles are loaded onto or created on the adapter. The software profiles each correspond to a unique network.

Auto configuration of portable computers for use in wireless local area networks

An improved system and method using multiple basic and extended service set identifiers for a single radio in a wireless local area network is provided. The method includes the use of several basic service set identifiers for at least some access points, associating an extended service set identifier with each virtual local area network, and assigning each of the extended service set identifiers and associated local area network to one basic service set identifier.

Method and system for multiple basic and extended service set identifiers in wireless local area networks

A wireless local area network for data communications between a computer and mobile units is provided with at least two cell controllers connected to the computer and one or more rf ports each connected to a primary interface of one cell controller and to a backup interface of another cell controller. A control program in the cell controller monitors data communications between the other cell controller and the rf port by a backup interface. The program is arranged to cause the second cell controller to assume primary communications functions for the rf port in the event primary communications functions between a first cell controller and the rf port are inoperative.

Backup cell controller

The present invention relates to an improved order fulfillment system. The system is provided with improved data entry system for selecting items for purchase by a customer, and an improved item collection terminal and order delivery system. The portable terminal to be used for collecting of items is provided with an audio as well as video presentation means which are used to provide assistance to the to terminal user.

Portable shopping and order fulfillment system

A computer implemented apparatus captures data from a user into a form specified in accordance with a markup language such as hypertext markup language. The user selects a data type such as text, handwriting, voice, image and video data type to be captured. Once the user indicates the type of data to be captured, the apparatus enables a transducer associated with the selected data type to capture data. The apparatus also formats data from the transducer into a predetermined format, stores and displays the formatted data in the markup language form.

Apparatus with extended markup language date capture capability

A method of integrating host application software with data collection devices (e.g., bar code scanners) located on remote, wireless terminals. A data collection object executes on the host computer, using a predetermined interface between the host application software and the data collection object. That interface, and the communications between the host application software and the data collection object, are configured so that to the host application software the data collection device appears to be local hardware on the host computer. The data collection object creates and executes threads of execution for controlling operation of the data collection device, with the threads communicating with the remote terminals via a host computer transport layer, the wireless link, and a remote computer transport layer at the remote terminals. A data collection device driver on the remote terminal receives communications from the data collection object, and returns information to the data collection object, over the remote computer transport layer, wireless link, and host computer transport layer.
