Abstract: Providing distanced audio from a remote location using mobile devices, which a change in the orientation of a destination mobile device to a pointing orientation, aimed to an object of interest, is detected using an exploration application that is installed in advance on the mobile device. The azimuth to which the mobile device is currently pointing is calculated and all point and/or of objects of interest which are within a predetermined range from the pointing device, are detected. Then the exploration application automatically connects to a remote server which continuously collects the current location information of any user of a mobile device and maps its location with respect to stationary object or points of interests, or to moving objects. The server provides via the application, one or more audio alerts to the user of the destination device that one or more object or points of interest are in range.

Abstract: A method for providing elected sounds to a user—isolated from sounds of the environment—of a mobile device to increase his awareness regarding entities or events in his vicinity. The user wears sound isolating headphones connected to his mobile device. A mobile application is installed on the mobile device, and is automatically activated when the headphones are connected to his mobile device. The application is adapted to automatically activate the device's microphone when the isolating headphones are plugged into the device and periodically compare in real-time, sounds received from the environment, to a predefined collection of reference sounds. Sounds of the environment, which match one or more reference sounds from the collection are selectively filtered out and as long as the sounds received from the environment match the one or more reference sounds from the collection, the filtered sounds are continuously passed to the isolating headphones.

Abstract: A method for providing geographically based sound cues to a user of a mobile device, each sound cue informs the user on a nearby point of interest. The method is an eight step process that has as its eighth step: sounding said sound cue at the right and left earphones of the device at respective levels that are based on said calculated right-left balance.

Abstract: The invention is a system for analyzing and displaying results of the analyses of the large amounts of data related to the locations of the users of mobile communication devices available from the devices in a way that can be immediately useful as a decision making tool to a business by yielding actionable insights from the data.

Abstract: In a system and method for monitoring exposure of people to physical advertisements, a computing device receives positional data records associated with each of a plurality of mobile devices within a given geographical region, from a base station, sets a mobility descriptor for each corresponding user, determines whether each user is predicted to be within a predetermined viewing range of one or more advertisements, in response to the set mobility descriptor, instantaneous speed and direction, and a predetermined viewing range, and counts the number of users who are predicted to be within the predetermined viewing range.
