Abstract: Described is a method which includes the following steps: detecting an input into a touch screen; detecting the release of the input from the touch screen; calculating an elapsed time between the input and the release of the touch screen; and activating a function based on the elapsed time. Described is also a device. The device includes a memory storing a plurality of functions and a corresponding time interval for each function; a tactile input detecting an activation and a release; a timer determining an elapsed amount of time between the activation and the release of the tactile input; and a processor activating one of the plurality of functions based on the elapsed time and the corresponding time interval.

Abstract: Described is a method including receiving initial location values of an asset within a monitored region, inserting the initial location values into a web-based document, and rendering an initial position of an icon on the web-based document. Further described is a device including a communication interface receiving initial location values of an asset within a monitored region, a display displaying an image of the monitored region, and a processor inserting the initial location values into a web-based document and rendering an initial position of an icon on the web-based document. The icon represents a location of the asset within the monitored region.

Abstract: Systems, devices and/or methods that facilitate improved form factors for RFID enabled mobile devices with RFID antenna component(s) are presented. These RFID antenna component(s) can be deployable, for example, foldable, slidable, detachable, or combinations thereof, among other means of deployment. By being able to place the RFID antenna component(s) in a packed configuration and/or one or more deployed configurations, the resulting improved form factor can improve usability, reduce maintenance complexity, and facilitate improved performance. Similarly, in a deployed configuration, the resulting form factor can function in a manner equivalent to, or at an improved level over, conventional devices, systems, and/or methods with regard to aspects related to the form factor.

Abstract: Systems, devices and/or methods that facilitate location optimization of mobile devices and/or systems are presented. Location optimization can result in an improved user experience by providing information and/or software tailored to the location of the device and/or system. Location aware devices/systems can include a deterministic or inferential determination of the granular location of the device/system. Location aware devices/systems can also include deterministic or inferential determinations of potential location zone transitions. These determinations and/or inferences can be employed to determine the availability of, and relevance of, device/system updates. Available relevant updates can be downloaded to the device/system at varying levels of granularity and overlap. The downloaded updates can then be installed and made available to the user.
