Systems and methods for ultrasonic collision management in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (xR) applications are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: execute an xR application to display an xR image to a user of the IHS; and detect, via an ultrasonic sensor coupled to the processor, a potential physical interaction between the user and a physical object during execution of the xR application.

Disclosed are methods, assemblies and devices useful for identifying the location and/or motion of a mobile device in a specified area, for assisting in mapping a specified area and also to methods, assemblies and devices for determining a location of anchors found at fixed locations in a specified area.

A delivery device includes an image capture device for generating delivery image data of a delivery at a service address. A processor executes a delivery application to bidirectionally communicate delivery data with the delivery data server via the network interface, wherein the delivery data includes a delivery tracking number and the delivery image data. The delivery data server processes the delivery data to provide a delivery confirmation to a customer at the service address, wherein the delivery confirmation includes the delivery tracking number and the delivery image data.

A real-time location system including a backbone communication network having a plurality of network access point devices and a real-time location system server, a plurality of monitor devices where each monitor device being located at a location around a facility, each of the plurality of monitor devices being configured to transmit a unique monitor identification code using a secondary transmission technology, each of the monitor identifications codes being mapped to a single location in the facility at which a monitor device is located, each of the monitor devices further being configured to transmit an RF beacon using a first RF protocol, and at least one tag being configured to receive, detect and retransmit the monitor identification code back to at least one of the plurality of monitor devices using a second RF protocol.

Autonomous vehicles may communicate with each other to avoid hazards, mitigate collisions, and facilitate the flow of traffic. To enhance such cooperation, it would be highly advantageous if each vehicle were able to determine which vehicle in view corresponds to each communication message, which is generally unknown if a plurality of vehicles are in range. Systems and methods provided herein can enable autonomous vehicles to determine the spatial location of each proximate vehicle by detecting a pulsed localization signal emitted by each of the other vehicles. In addition, each vehicle can transmit a self-identifying code, synchronous with the emitted localization signal, so that other vehicles can associate the proper code with each vehicle. After such localization and identification, the vehicles can then cooperate more effectively in mitigating potential collisions.

A delivery data server includes at least one processor that executes a delivery data server application to bidirectionally communicate delivery data with a first user of a first client device via a network. The delivery data includes delivery menu data sent to the first client device and delivery location data received from the first client device that indicates a service address associated with a user of the first client device and a delivery location associated with the service address for receiving at least one delivery to the service address. The delivery data server application processes the delivery location data to direct the at least one delivery to the service address.

A system for determining a location of a work machine operator relative to a work machine comprises a machine controller, a radio frequency receiver, and an infrared transmitter unit. The unit comprises a plurality of infrared transmitters configured to generate infrared signals that collectively divide a 360-degree area around the infrared transmitter unit into a plurality of zones. A remote controller remote from the work machine, which comprises a radio frequency transceiver and an infrared receiver, is configured to receive the infrared signal generated by at least one of the plurality of infrared transmitters. The remote controller has a computer system which is configured to decode information within the one or more infrared signals to determine whether the operator is in an approved zone. The computer system enables the radio frequency transceiver to communicate with the radio frequency receiver upon determining that the operator is in the approved zone.

Apparatuses, components and methods are provided herein useful to provide assistance to customers and/or workers in a shopping facility. In some embodiments, a shopping facility personal assistance system comprises: a plurality of motorized transport units located in and configured to move through a shopping facility space; a plurality of user interface units, each corresponding to a respective motorized transport unit during use of the respective motorized transport unit; and a central computer system having a network interface such that the central computer system wirelessly communicates with one or both of the plurality of motorized transport units and the plurality of user interface units, wherein the central computer system is configured to control movement of the plurality of motorized transport units through the shopping facility space based at least on inputs from the plurality of user interface units.

Disclosed are techniques for receiving reference radio frequency (RF) signals for positioning estimation. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a network node, multiple resource sets for tracking (TRSs). Each TRS comprises a plurality of reference signal resources. The multiple TRSs are signals from a same antenna port or are quasi-co-located signals. The UE processes the multiple TRSs to determine positioning-related quantity(ies). The UE can estimate its position based on the positioning-related quantity(ies) and/or send the positioning-related quantity(ies) to the network.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for using a smart shipping to track one or more products contained therein. An embodiment operates by a transporting unit comprising a microcontroller, a transceiver, and a reliever, each of which is in communication with each other. The microcontroller is also in communication with a server external to the transporting unit. The transceiver is configured to o detect a transmitter attached to a product when the product is inside of the transporting unit. The receiver is configured to receive identifying information and a geographical location pertaining to the product. The microcontroller is then configured to send a message containing the identifying information and the geographical location pertaining to the product to the server.
