Patent number: 10917846Abstract: According to one embodiment, a beacon device is configured to provide power in the beacon device in response to a signal from a clock to enter a wake state from a sleep state. The beacon device is further configured to receive configuration parameters over the wireless network interfaces from a network device, monitor one or more of a beacon sensor or a user device over the wireless network interfaces according to the configuration parameters, transmit data over the network interfaces to the network device according to the configuration parameters, and monitor the clock for a signal to enter a sleep state. The beacon device is further configured to disrupt the power in the beacon device in response to the signal to enter the sleep state from the clock.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Ian M.

Patent number: 10721595Abstract: A wireless network can include one or more nodes distributed throughout a physical environment. The locations of client devices within the wireless network can be determined based on observing measurements of wireless signals exchanged between the nodes and the client devices. In some example embodiments, the capability of determining location information of client devices more accurately can be utilized for enhancing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) functions. In an example embodiment, a phone call can be intelligently routed to where the user is located within the wireless network. In another example embodiment, the volume of a VoIP-enabled client device can be adjusted depending on the proximity of other users.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Ian M. Snyder, Morgan Teachworth

Patent number: 10326204Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of a switchable, oscillating near-field and far-field antenna that may be used in access control systems. A controller is coupled to a transceiver, wherein the transceiver comprises an antenna module that includes both a near-field antenna and a far-field antenna. The near-field antenna is a subset of the far-field antenna, and the controller is adapted to cause the antenna module to oscillate between a near-field configuration and a far-field configuration while, for example, scanning an RFID tag of a wireless asset and receiving one or more return signals from the RFID tag, in order to determine a location of the wireless asset based on the one or more return signals.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Derrick Pallas, Ian Snyder, Joshua Markell, Morgan Teachworth
