A local navigation system includes: a plurality of beacons located in a local environment and being configured to send signals specified to different routes in said local environment; a plurality of mobile devices, each of them including a client controller; and a wireless communication link configured to receive the signals sent by the beacons; an output means configured to display/emit navigation guide data. In the local navigation system, the client controller is configured to process the signals received via the wireless communication link and to process this data into navigation guide data outputted on an output of the mobile device. Each route included in the local environment is assigned a unitary ID and each beacon is located in one specific location of the local environment along at least one of said routes. Each beacon is configured to send the IDs of all the routes passing along its specific location. The client controller obtains the route ID to a chosen destination from a destination input device of the local navigation system and/or of the mobile device. The client controller is configured to provide the navigation guide data in interaction with the beacons sending said route IDs of the chosen location. This system allows anonymous navigation in the local environment, possibly in a decentralized system without centralized or wired system components.

The disclosure describes embodiments for modifying an operation of a vehicle component based on a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, by a V2X receiver, a V2X message including context data that describes a context of a V2X transmitter in an environment, wherein the V2X receiver is not sufficiently able to identify the V2X transmitter as an originator of the V2X message within the environment. The method includes determining, by the V2X receiver, digital data describing an identity of the V2X transmitter as the originator of the V2X message within the environment based on the context data. The method includes modifying the operation of the vehicle component of the V2X receiver based on the digital data describing the identity of the V2X transmitter. The vehicle component includes, for example, one or more of an autonomous driving system and an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS system).

A processor may receive an indication form a radio frequency identification (RFID) device that a mobile device is in a predetermined area. The processor may send a private key on a first frequency at a first time to the mobile device. The processor may receive a communication request from the mobile device that may contain a public decryption key. The processor may send encrypted configuration information and encrypted state information to the mobile device. In some embodiments, an RFID device, may identify that a mobile device is within a predetermined area. The RFID device may send a tag to the mobile device. The RFID may send a notification to a communicator that the tag has been sent. The RFID may acquire the encrypted configuration information and encrypted state information form the communicator. The RFID device may push the encrypted configuration information and the encrypted state information to the mobile device.

A system and method for identifying a customer's location at a business and provide notification to a company representative upon arrival of the customer at the business location. Real-time location determinations for the customer and customer location tracking can be provided. One or more wireless beacons communicate with the customer's electronic device. The beacons provide the system with real-time data about the customer's whereabouts, allowing for the confirmation and tracking of the customer at the location. A first non-limiting example of use, include a company that provides food and beverage allowing the customer to place an order for food and beverages on their electronic device and having the order delivered to the person at their current location as determined by the system. Another non-limiting example includes a company using the notification system to have assigned staff members notified of the customer's arrival.

A method for monitoring an animal with an autonomous monitoring device in close proximity to the animal, the monitoring device having a first sensor and a second sensor of higher electric power consumption. The method includes measuring a first parameter with the first sensor, the second sensor being deactivated. An estimated status of the animal is determined based on the first parameter. If the estimated status corresponds to a particular status, the second sensor is activated and measures a second parameter which is used to determine a specified estimated status of the animal.
