Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods in which one or more existing onboard sensors on a mobile wireless telecommunication computing device, such as a smartphone, are recruited to detect a condition in which an action should be initiated, and the mobile wireless telecommunication computing device uses a wireless signal to identify the desired action. For example, a magnetometer on a smartphone may be used to detect the presence of a nearby magnet as a condition in which an action should be initiated, or an accelerometer and gyroscope on a smartphone may be used to detect a gesture as a condition in which an action should be initiated. Other sensors may also be used to detect other conditions. The approach may be advantageously applied to pull marketing, although it is not limited to such applications.

Abstract: A passive RFID transponder circuit comprises a transducer antenna, a power conditioning unit and an RFID signal module coupled to the transducer antenna and an additional powered element coupled to the transducer antenna in parallel with the power conditioning unit and RFID signal module. The powered element is powered by electrical current from the transducer antenna that bypasses the power conditioning unit and RFID signal module.
