Patents Assigned to Athentek Innovations, Inc.
  • Patent number: 10117065
    Abstract: An indoor positioning system determines the location of a mobile device by comparing measured signal strengths to a database determined via offline calibration. Automated maintenance and repair of the database are facilitated by accurately characterizing indoor radio signal propagation. Systems and methods for generating spatially-dependent path-loss models are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10117096
    Abstract: Systems and methods to generate safe zones and safe routes associated with a device are disclosed. These safe zones and safe routes can be used to map complicated location behavior into location behavior scores that can be applied systematically to tracking and authentication applications.

  • Patent number: 10114104
    Abstract: An indoor positioning system determines the location of a mobile device by comparing measured signal strengths to a database determined via offline calibration. Automated maintenance and repair of the database are facilitated by accurately characterizing indoor radio signal propagation. Systems and methods for updating a signal strength database are disclosed. In one variation, a computer-implemented method of discovering a new or moved wireless access point (AP) within an indoor environment involves flagging one of the wireless APs as the new or moved AP; determining a location of the new or moved AP using information from at least one of an installation log and an AP location solver; determining transmit strengths and estimated received signal strengths of signals transmitted from calibration reference points (RPs) to the AP using a spatially-dependent path-loss model; and adding the transmit strengths and estimated received signal strengths to the signal strength database.
