Server for communicating with mobile and vehicle devices
One or more servers may include a first communication interface to communicate with a mobile device; a second communication interface to communicate with devices associated with a plurality of vehicles; and a selection mechanism. The first communication interface may receive, via a network, a request from the mobile device based on an interaction with the mobile device. And, the selection mechanism may determine weighted scores for two or more, of the plurality of vehicle, and select one of the two or more vehicles by using a selection function that improves access to vehicle services and decreases waste of resources used by the plurality of vehicles.
Assisting execution of manual protocols at production equipment
One variation of a method for assisting execution of manual protocols at production equipment includes: identifying a site occupied by a mobile device based on a geospatial location of a device; identifying a space within the building occupied by the device based on identifiers of a set of wireless access points wirelessly accessible to the device and known locations of wireless access points within the building; loading a protocol associated with an equipment unit in the space; calculating a position of the device within the space based on positions optical features, detected in a field of view of an optical sensor at the device, relative to reference features represented in a space model of the space; and, when the position of the device falls within a threshold distance of a reference location proximal the equipment unit defined in a step of the procedure, rendering guidance for the step.
Context-based remote autonomous vehicle assistance
Systems and methods for controlling autonomous vehicles are provided. Assisted autonomy tasks facilitated by operators for a plurality of autonomous vehicles can be tracked in order to generate operator attributes for each of a plurality of operators. The attributes for an operator can be based on tracking one or more respective assisted autonomy tasks facilitated by the operator. The operator attributes can be used to facilitate enhanced remote operations for autonomous vehicles. For example, request parameters can be obtained in response to a request for remote assistance associated with an autonomous vehicle. An operator can be selected to assist with autonomy tasks for the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the operator attributes for the operator and the request parameters associated with the request. Remote assistance for the first autonomous vehicle can be initiated, facilitated by the first operator in response to the request for remote assistance.
Contact tracing based on comparing geo-temporal patterns of wireless terminals, including mobility profiles
A method for performing contact tracing. An analysis system performing the method receives geo-temporal data comprising location data points for various wireless terminals, including the wireless terminal being used by a person diagnosed as having a specified disease and the wireless terminals of people who possibly have come in contact with the infected person. Based on filtering the geo-temporal data, the analysis system generates relatively-condensed mobility profiles that are representative of each person's locations and movements, and analyzes the mobility profiles. Through careful selections of various parameters based on the disease that is being analyzed, the mobility profiles are used instead of the relatively large amounts of geo-temporal data, to represent users of wireless terminals and to determine their interactions in regard to disease transmission.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASSISTED PARKING
A computer-implemented method for assisted parking, an electronic device, and a storage medium are provided. The method for assisted parking includes: obtaining a set of images around a vehicle; determining environment information for the vehicle based on the set of images; obtaining location information associated with a target parking location according to the environment information; and sending the location information to provide such to a user terminal.
AUTOMATIC LOCATION OF ACCESS POINTS IN A NETWORK
Examples described herein provide automatic location of access points by a computing device. Examples may include receiving, by the computing device from each AP in a subset of a plurality of APs, a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal measurement, and based on each received GNSS signal measurement, constraining, by the computing device, the map of relative AP locations by at least one translational degree of freedom or one rotational degree of freedom. Examples may include resolving, by the computing device, locations of the plurality of APs in the map of relative AP locations.
Analyzing Wi-Fi Motion Coverage in an Environment
A method includes receiving a ground-truth motion indication from a measurement device. The ground-truth motion indication is a time series of locations and a corresponding indication of a motion state at each location of the time series of locations. The method also includes receiving a time series of detected motion states based on wireless signals communicated through a space over a time period by a wireless communication network comprising a plurality of wireless communication devices. The detected motion states for a time interval within the time series are compared to the ground-truth motion indication for the time interval within the time series to generate a time series of consistency scores. The consistency scores are processed to produce an aggregate motion-detection capability score at each location. The method also includes providing, for display as a graphical representation of motion-detection capability within the space, the aggregate motion-detection capability at each location.
WIRELESS MAPPING IN REAL-TIME FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES USING CORRELATIVE PASSIVE RECEIVER
Systems and methods for mapping location and characteristics about traffic participants are described. The systems and methods advantageously use correlative receivers for observing wireless emissions from or reflected by a plurality of traffic participants to allow for tracking geolocation and velocimetry information in real-time. The real-time geolocation and velocimetry information can be useful in autonomous vehicle navigation applications and useful for reducing computational burdens associated with tracking locations of many multiple traffic participants using direct sensor measurements, for example.
Package Tracking System
The present invention relates generally to the field of tracking devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to a package tracking system. The system is primarily comprised of at least one sleeve and at least one tracking device with a body, further comprised of at least one transmitter and at least one label. In the preferred embodiment, the tracking device is encased within the sleeve. The sleeve is preferably adhesive and can therefore be placed inside a package and secured within a package. The transmitter of the tracking device can be activated once inside the package to allow a user to view the GPS location of the package via a mobile application. In this manner, a package the tracking device is in can be tracked if said package is stolen after delivery of the package, but before the package could be received by a consumer.
LOCATION DETERMINATION USING ANONYMOUS BROWSER DATA
Systems, methods, and apparatus are described herein for determining a location from anonymous data. For example, a computing device may receive anonymous data associated with a browser session initialized by a user via a browser on a user computing device. The computing device may determine that the user has not been assigned a unique identifier. The computing device may determine whether the user opted-in to location tracking. If the user opted-out of location tracking, the computing device may determine a latitude coordinate and a longitude coordinate of the user computing device during the browser session. The computing device may identify a physical address for the user based on the latitude coordinate and the longitude coordinate, for example, using a map application programming interface (API). The computing device may assign the unique identifier to the user. The computing device may associate the unique identifier to the physical address.
