An antenna device, a positioning system and a positioning method are provided. The positioning method includes: dispersedly arranging a plurality of receivers to form a target area, in which each of the receivers includes the antenna device; receiving a wireless signal from the target area through the antenna device, and generating a difference signal strength and a sum signal strength; calculating, for each of the receivers, a sum-difference ratio between the difference signal strength and the sum signal strength, and estimating a corresponding one of estimated incident angles according to the sum-difference ratio and a comparison table; executing, in response to obtaining the estimated incident angles corresponding to the receivers, a positioning algorithm according to the estimated incident angles, so as to generate a plurality of possible positions; and executing an optimization algorithm to calculate a best estimated position of the possible positions.

A device may create a list of identifiers for base stations that support a fixed wireless service for a user device. The device may receive a first identifier of a first base station associated with a first attach request of the user device. The device may enable the fixed wireless service for the first base station for the user device when the first identifier is included in the list of identifiers. The device may disable the fixed wireless service for the first base station for the user device when the first identifier is not included in the list of identifiers.

A virtual care system can include a location module configured to receive location information associated with a device from the device, and a graphical user interface (GUI) module configured to generate a medical provider user interface accessible via the device. The medical provider user interface can be contextually generated based on the location information and includes interface characteristics associated with the location information.

Systems and methods are described for a cyber-physical vehicle management system generated by an Integrated Secure Device Manager (ISDM) Authority configured to manage licensing and approval of Cyber-Physical Vehicle (CPV)s, a public/private key pair and a unique ID for the Authority, create a self-signed Authority token signed by the private key, send the Authority token to a plurality of ISDM Node device configured to verify Module device authenticity and in communication with the Authority, store, by each Node, the Authority token, and mark, by each Node, the Authority token as trusted.

Presented are intelligent electronic footwear and apparel with controller-automated features, methods for making/operating such footwear and apparel, and control systems for executing automated features of such footwear and apparel. A method for operating an intelligent electronic shoe (IES) includes receiving, e.g., via a controller through a wireless communications device from a GPS satellite service, location data of a user. The controller also receives, e.g., from a backend server-class computer or other remote computing node, location data for a target object or site, such as a virtual shoe hidden at a virtual spot. The controller retrieves or predicts path plan data including a derived route for traversing from the user's location to the target's location within a geographic area. The controller then transmits command signals to a navigation alert system mounted to the IES's shoe structure to output visual, audio, and/or tactile cues that guide the user along the derived route.

Systems and methods of testing the handling of, or response to, transmitted Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) that include a geofenced area. The testing can include providing first location Global Positioning System (GPS) signals to user equipment, causing the user equipment to determine it is geographically located at the first location. A WEA alert can be provided to the user equipment and the WEA can include a geofenced area that does not include the first location. The user equipment can be provided GPS signals corresponding to a second location that is within the geofenced area of the WEA. Verification can then be performed to check that the user equipment displays the WEA alert, or message, in response to the user equipment determining its geographical position as corresponding to the second location that is within the geofenced area.
