Embodiments described herein provide a localization mechanism that blends location data collected from hardware sensors equipped with a personal mobile vehicle and location and/or status data collected from external location source other than the personal mobile vehicle to generate adjusted location data for the personal mobile vehicle.

Dynamic radio frequency (RF) beam pattern adaptation in a wireless communications system (WCS) is provided. The WCS typically includes a number of wireless devices, such as remote units and/or base stations, for enabling indoor wireless communications to user devices. The wireless devices are typically mounted on a fixed structure. Notably, a wireless device may be preconfigured to support RF beamforming based on an RF beam pattern that corresponds to a configured orientation. However, the wireless device can be installed with a different orientation from the configured orientation, thus requiring the RF beam pattern to be adapted accordingly. In this regard, a wireless device is configured to dynamically determine an actual orientation of the wireless device and automatically adapt the RF beam pattern based on the determined actual orientation. As a result, it is possible to reduce installation and calibration time associated with deployment of the wireless device in the WCS.

An orthogonal or multi-dimensional fabric interface is described herein to select and present content to a user. A location is determined and time is selected for the user. An area of interest for the user is determined based on the determined location and the selected time. The multi-dimensional fabric is accessed for content based the area of interest. Content stored in the multi-dimensional fabric at location and time coordinates within the area of interest are selected and presented to the user.

A computing system for presenting on a mobile device pieces of content each connected to a geographic location is described. The facility plots visual indications of the pieces of content in a two-dimensional display with respect to an origin point representing a user geographic location. In particular, for each piece of content, the facility plots a visual indication at a point that is (1) in a direction from the origin point that corresponds to a compass direction from the user geographic location to the geographic location to which the piece of content is connected, and (2) at a distance from the origin point that corresponds to a predicted amount of time to travel from the user geographic location to the geographical location to which the piece of content is connected.

A processing system including at least one processor may obtain at least one input indicating an expected travel sequence associated with the luggage item. The processing system may then obtain a set of sensor inputs for the luggage item, obtain location information of a user associated with the luggage item, and apply the set of sensor inputs and the location information of the user to at least one machine learning model, where the at least one machine learning model is to detect a deviation from the expected travel sequence. The processing system may next determine, via an output of the at least one machine learning model, that a deviation from the expected travel sequence has occurred, and provide an alert via at least one of an output component of the luggage item or a computing device of the user.

An automated door system includes a first door control module configured to be mounted in a fixed position relative to a powered door and a second door control module configured to be carried by a user and configured to be in electronic communication with the first door control module to control at least one of an opening actuation and a closing actuation of the powered door. A method of controlling the powered door may include wirelessly electronically connecting a second door control module to a first door control module, determining a proximity of the second door control module to the first door control module, an automating the opening and closing of the powered door in response to a position of the second door control module relative to the first door control module.

A mobile device can include ranging circuitry to determine distance to another mobile device. A first wireless protocol can establish an initial communication session to perform authentication and/or exchange ranging settings. A second protocol can perform ranging, and other wireless protocols can transmit content. In one example, the distance information can be used to display a relative position of another device on a user interface of a sending device. The user interface can allow a user to quickly and accurately select the recipient device for sending the data item. As other example, the distance information obtained from ranging can be used to trigger a notification (e.g., a reminder) to be output from a first mobile device or used to display a visual indicator on a receiving device. Proximity of a device (e.g., as determined by a distance) can be used to suggest recipient for a new communication.

Combined taxi signage may be generated from taxi signage for a first origination node and taxi signage for a second origination node, the first origination node and the second origination node being of a select proximity and orientation relative to an aircraft. The taxi signage for the first origination node may be generated from the first origination node and at least a first termination node stored within an airport surface routing network data, and a first turning angle determined based on a comparison between the first origination node and the at least the first termination node. The taxi signage for the second origination node may be generated from the second origination node and at least a second termination node stored within the airport surface routing network data, and a second turning angle determined based on a comparison between the second origination node and the at least the second termination node. The combined taxi signage may be included in a combined billboard displayed on the display device of the aircraft.

Wireless communications may be established between mobile computing devices via wireless protocols in asymmetric modes, using the orientation of the mobile devices to determine the asymmetric modes in which the mobile devices are operated. Requests may be received to initiate wireless communications using a wireless protocol that supports at least two asymmetric communication modes. The orientation of the mobile devices may be determined, and the asymmetric communication modes to be used by the mobile devices may be based on the orientations of the mobile device. Each mobile device may be configured to operate in the determined asymmetric communication mode of the wireless protocol, for establishing communications via the wireless protocol with other mobile devices.

An indoor location positioning system comprises at least one processor, Wi-Fi scanners, and a RSSI fingerprint database. The Wi-Fi scanners and the RSSI fingerprint database works with the processor. The Wi-Fi scanners are positioned at locations within an environment that is partitioned into interconnected zones. The Wi-Fi scanners receive anonymous probe messages from Wi-Fi devices that are present in the environment during a calibration phase of the indoor location positioning system. The RSSI values are collated to create RSSI fingerprints corresponding to the different locations respectively. One or more of the Wi-Fi scanners are used as anchor scanners to counter the difference in transmit power levels of different Wi-Fi devices that result in different RSSI fingerprints for the different types of Wi-Fi devices, wherein the RSSI value at each anchor scanner is subtracted from the RSSI values at rest of the Wi-Fi scanners to generate the RSSI fingerprint.
