Abstract: A visitor verification system 1000 is disclosed and described that can automatically authenticate a Mobile Service Provider (MSP) 3 arriving to provide assistance to a patient, or client 5 at their residence 7 while being off-line with the agency server. It also verifies the time and location a MSP session begins, periodically verifies that the MSP 3 is within the client's residence 7, logs the MSP out of the system and reports on the session. The visitor verification system employs at least one visual code located at the residence 7 that is scanned by a mobile computing device (MCD) 100. Information in the visual code is decoded and reconciled with locations determined by executable code (the App) running on the MCD 100. Once the location is verified by the App/MCD 100, the MSP 3 is authenticated. The system includes at least one beacon that transmits a signal that the MSP receives on the MCD 100.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for selecting at least one SIM card for data communication at a wireless communication device which is capable of housing a plurality of SIM cards. When a switching condition is satisfied, the wireless communication device selects a second SIM card group, and disconnects one or more connections established using any non-second group SIM card. Non-second group SIM cards are SIM cards that are not in the second SIM card group. A selected SIM card from the second SIM card group is then used for data communications. The steps are repeated until (i) the switching condition is no longer satisfied, (ii) no more SIM cards selected from the second SIM card group can be used for data communications or (iii) no more connection is made using non-second group SIM cards.

Abstract: Described are various embodiments of a mobile operator-mediated telephony-over-data system and implementation, and mobile smartphone-over-data device and computer-implemented environment therefor.

Abstract: A method for improving the ability to detect passive beacon receiver devices is disclosed. According to the method, a beacon communication system which comprises one or more short-range wireless beacon transmitter devices, at least one of which is configured to repeatedly transmit a short-range wireless beacon advertisement signal on a first beacon broadcast channel, is operated by causing a device among the short-range wireless beacon transmitter devices to temporarily transmit a short-range wireless beacon refresh signal on a second beacon broadcast channel. The beacon refresh signal is adapted to cause one or more short-range wireless beacon receiver devices being in a passive mode to enter into a short-range wireless beacon scanning mode.

Abstract: A system, methods, nodes and computer program for redistributing a registration of a UE (100) from a first MSC (320) to a second MSC (124) is provided. The first MSC (320) and the second MSCs (124) are members of a pool of MSCs (130). The UE (100) is registered in the first MSC (320) and is attached to the first MSC (320) via a packet control node (340, 440) such as MME or SGSN. The first MSC (320) receives an order from an O&M center to redistribute the registrations of UEs (100) in the pool. The first MSC (320) sends a redistribution order to the packet control node (340, 440). The packet control node (340, 440) triggers the UE (100) to perform a routing or tracking area update procedure and triggers a location area update procedure to the second MSC (124), causing the UE (100) to be registered to the second MSC (124).
