A method for proximity detection and ranging with neighboring devices is described here. The method includes identifying, by a processor of a first tag, a second tag from a group of tags within a predefined range of the first tag. The method further comprises initiating, by the processor, transmission of a packet to the second tag in the group of tags identified within the predefined range. The method further comprises, in response to the transmission of the packet, receiving, by the processor, a response packet from the second tag. The method includes in response to receiving the response packet, determining a tag distance between the first tag and second tag. The method includes determining that the tag distance associated with the second tag is less than a predefined distance, generating, by the processor, an alarm or notification to the first tag indicating that the predefined distance is crossed.

A method in a computing device includes: capturing, via a sensor, an image of an indicium; determining a confidence level associated with machine recognition of the indicium; based on the confidence level, selecting a feedback attribute; prior to outputting content encoded in the indicium, generating, via an output device, a feedback signal having the feedback attribute, wherein the attribute is configured to indicate a likelihood of success of a decode event to decode the content encoded in the indicium.

A work glove including a dorsal section, a strap section, a trigger and a holder for an electronic module. The dorsal section includes a first opening on the side-of-the-hand edge and the strap section extends from the thumb-side edge or the dorsal section includes a first opening on the thumb-side edge and the strap section extends from the side-of-the-hand edge of the dorsal section. The strap section passes through the first opening and a portion of the strap section that passed through the first opening fastens the dorsal section detachably. Moreover, a wearable sensor device is shown.

Devices, methods, and systems to actively or passively scan an RFID microchip in a companion animal, transmit the associated data to software, allow users to augment the data with additional information to create a post, and allow users to interact in the software in the context of reuniting the lost animal with its owner.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for triggering a back-of-the-hand-worn electronic device (such as a scanner) via a trigger button toward the end of a removable flexible trigger button assembly or arm that is left/right-handed reversable in accordance with the preference of the user. The flexible trigger button assembly has at least a portion that is user bendable and twistable over a wide range to a desired user-customized static configuration for optimal ergonomic placement of a trigger button relative to the user's thumb. In a second embodiment, the flexible trigger button assembly instead has a simple cable terminating in a trigger button ring assembly that can be secured on the user's forefinger. Both embodiments allow each user to press the trigger button more easily, comfortably, and repeatedly.
