Systems, methods and devices for location-based services are disclosed in the present invention. A multiplicity of network devices, a database, and a server platform in network-based communication. The database stores a space-network model binding IP addresses and physical locations. The server platform is operable to generate at least one geofence in the space-network model and specify entitlements for the location-based services within the at least one geofence. The at least one geofence and specific entitlement are stored to the database. The multiplicity of network devices is configured to learn the space-network model and the at least one geofence and perform tasks based on the entitlements specified for the location-based services within the at least one geofence.

A LED based emergency illumination source with integrated communications and processing functions, which can communicate via wireless communications to a mobile phone, smart phone, smart pad, smart watch, wrist band, key fob, notebook, tablet, desktop, or other computing device. The LED based emergency illumination source can be operated from a backup battery source in the event that power is disrupted, can be programmed to operate autonomously, and is able to alter its behavior, based on the proximity of a controlling element. The communications and processing functions can be integrated into LED lighting household and commercial illumination devices, as well as other electrical devices, such as wall outlets, light switches, plug in timers, appliances, and the like.

A method for monitoring an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a processor obtaining a datagram based on monitoring data for a UAV-detector communication between the UAV and one or more detectors. The monitoring data indicates at least one of a location of the UAV or a location of a control station in communication with the UAV. The method further includes determining a risk level by retrieving pre-stored risk information associated with the UAV based on the datagram.

Systems and methods for connecting a private device to a public device based on various connection parameters. For example, a media guidance application may receive a communication requesting to use the public device from a private device that is implementing a private interface application (e.g., Netflix™ a streaming media application). In response, the media guidance application may generate an authorization key that is unique to the private device and comprises connection parameters. The media guidance application may transmit the authorization key to the private interface application to initiate a session between the public device and the private device. Whenever a command is received from the private device, the media guidance application may verify the authorization key and determine whether the connection parameters are satisfied. In response to verifying the authorization key and the connection parameters, the public device may execute the received command.

An application manager of a mobile device can provide a user with the ability to control whether an application can use location information provided by a location subsystem of the mobile device. The application can request a current location of the mobile device and the location subsystem can provide the location of the mobile device in accordance with a location services authorization type that is assigned to the application.
