Publication number: 20140306694Abstract: A method for determining direction of travel of a tag is described. The method includes a tag that receives sample signals from two spatially separate LF magnetic fields generated by an exciter. The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) data associated with each of the sample signals is determined. A first RSSI profile is created for the first LF magnetic fields. A second RSSI profile is created for the second LF magnetic fields. The first and second RSSI profiles are compared to determine a direction of travel of the object. A tag, an exciter and a computer readable medium are configured to facilitate the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2014Publication date: October 16, 2014Applicant: Lyngsoe Systems LimitedInventors: Alex Oprea, Xiaohui Yu, Xiaojuan He

Publication number: 20140095405Abstract: An automated item notification device is described. The automatic notification device is configured to be secured within a drop box and comprises a communication module, a deposit sensor, a camera and processor. The communication module communicates with a remote resource. The deposit sensor senses deposit of an object and provides a wake-up signal in response thereto. The camera captures an image of an interior of the drop box in response to the wake-up signal. The processor is configured to compare the captured image with a previously acquired reference image stored in memory to determine if the object has been received in the drop box. In response to detection that the objected has been received in the drop box, a message is transmitted to the remote resource that the drop box needs to be serviced, and the processor enters an extended sleep mode. In response to detection that the objected has not been received in the drop box, the processor enters a sleep mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2013Publication date: April 3, 2014Applicant: LYNGSOE SYSTEMS LTD.Inventors: Don FERGUSON, Alex OPREA
