A method performed within a user device includes receiving at least one response signal corresponding to a respective tag. The method includes, identifying a directional location of the respective tag relative to the user device. The method includes estimating a distance of the respective tag relative to the user device. The method includes correlating the directional location and distance of the respective tag to generate corresponding position information. The position information provides more precise point location of the object. The method includes outputting the corresponding position information to an electronic display.

Method to correlate an object with a localized tag

A computing device includes a control system that communicates with multiple sensors that capture data regarding a user. The control system communicates with each of the sensors to obtain information regarding the capabilities of each sensor, and uses this capability information to determine how to configure each of the sensors. The control system also selects one of the multiple sensors to be the master sensor, and the rest of the multiple sensors are slave sensors, and notifies the multiple sensors of whether they are a slave sensor or a master sensor. The master sensor collects sensor data for the multiple sensors, capturing data itself as well as receiving data captured by the slave sensors from the slave sensors. The master sensor sends an indication of the collected data (e.g., the collected data itself or data resulting from processing the collected data) to the control system for analysis and/or processing.

Multipoint sensor system for efficient power consumption

A method, a system, and a computer program product for configuring output devices of a wearable device based on a detected orientation and body location of the wearable device. The method includes measuring at least one orientation input from at least one orientation module of a wearable device. The method further includes analyzing, via a processor of the wearable device, the at least one orientation input to determine a body location of the wearable device and a current orientation of the wearable device at the body location. The method further includes configuring at least one output device of the wearable device for operation in the current orientation at the body location.

Determining an orientation and body location of a wearable device

A method and data processing device for receiving at least one response signal corresponding to a respective tag. The method includes, identifying a directional location of the respective tag relative to the user device. The method includes activating a camera device to focus on one or more focal points in an area in the directional location of the respective tag. The method includes estimating a distance of the respective tag relative to the user device. The method includes capturing an image of an object located within the area in the directional location of the respective tag. The method includes correlating the directional location, distance of the respective tag, and image of the object to generate corresponding position information. The position information provides more precise point location of the object. The method includes outputting the corresponding position information to an electronic display.

A method includes receiving an incoming biometric identification request on a first device from a user. First location data for the first device is determined. Second location data associated with at least one previous biometric identification request associated with the user is retrieved. A second level identification request is selectively initiated on the first device based on at least the first and second location data. A device includes a location module to determine first location data for the device, a biometric sensor to generate an incoming biometric identification request from a user, and a processor to retrieve second location data associated with at least one previous biometric identification request associated with the user and selectively initiate a second level identification request on the device based on at least the first and second location data.

Biometric identity verification with location feasibility determination

In aspects of a wearable article for determining a task, a system includes a delivery device usable to administer a liquid responsive to an applied force, and includes a wearable article with multiple sensors to detect movements of the wearable article and handling of the delivery device. A task determination module is implemented to receive sensor data identifying the movements of the wearable article and the applied force, and can determine a task from a set of tasks associated with the delivery device that corresponds to the movements of the wearable article. The task determination module can then determine whether the task was performed correctly based on a comparison of the sensor data to a correct pattern of use for the task.

Wearable article for determining a task

An electronic device includes one or more processors, an audio interface, operable with the one or more processors, and a voice interface engine. The audio interface receives first acoustic signals identifying a control operation for the one or more processors. The one or more processors cause the audio interface to exchange second acoustic signals with at least one other electronic device, thereby negotiating which device will perform the control operation.

Methods and devices for negotiating performance of control operations with acoustic signals

In aspects of location correlation in a region, a mobile device implements a location module that determines a current location of the mobile device in a region within communication range of a radio system based on location data received in radio signals from the radio system. The location module determines region coordinates at the current location of the mobile device in the region. The location module can then associate the region coordinates at the current location of the mobile device in the region with pixel grid coordinates determined from a digital image view as captured by a camera system in the region, and generate a location mapping of the region based on the current location and subsequent locations of the mobile device in the region. The location mapping correlates the locations of the mobile device in the region based on the pixel grid coordinates at the respective locations.

Location correlation in a region based on signal strength indications

A mobile device includes a wireless transceiver operative to establish a wireless connection with a connected device. The connected device may be either a peer-to-peer device or an access point. The mobile device also includes a battery monitor and a processor, operatively coupled to the wireless transceiver and to the battery monitor. The processor is operative to obtain a charge level from the battery monitor, and negotiate with a connected device for a transceiver power output level based on the charge level. The processor is also operative to control the wireless transceiver to reduce the wireless transceiver power output to the negotiated transceiver power output level in response to an acknowledgement message from the connected device.

Apparatus and method for sensor based radio power control

A method of operating a real time locating system (RTLS) includes: obtaining object gesture pattern data for an RTLS tagged object, in response to a gesture pattern motion of the RTLS tagged object; receiving camera gesture pattern data from a video camera, in response to the gesture pattern motion of the RTLS tagged object; determining that the object gesture pattern data matches the camera gesture pattern data; and sending the RTLS coordinates of the RTLS tagged object to a monitoring device, in response to the object gesture pattern data matching the camera gesture pattern data.

A method includes receiving headset motion data over a headset interface of a device while playing an audio selection on the device. A preference indicator for the audio selection is generated based on the headset motion data. A device includes a headset interface and a processor coupled to the headset interface. The processor is to receive headset motion data over the headset interface while playing an audio selection over the headset interface and generate a preference indicator for the audio selection based on the headset motion data.
