  • Patent number: 10869160
    Abstract: A system described herein may identify proximity events using geofencing capabilities of user equipment (“UE”) such as mobile phones. The UE may interact with a mobile client manager (“MCM”) to identify landmarks (or “locations of interest”) near the UE. The UE may identify a set of local landmarks that are nearest to the UE. The UE may utilize geofence-based location services to reduce power consumption when outside geofences associated with local landmarks. If the UE enters a geofence associated with a local landmark, the UE may utilize granular location services for increased accuracy. The UE may notify the MCM when the UE “dwells” near a given landmark by entering the geofence associated with the landmark but does not approach a threshold distance of the landmark. The UE may cease utilizing granular location services when dwelling, and may instead use location services based on push messages received from the MCM.

  • Patent number: 7983686
    Abstract: A centralized wireless resource manager is leveraged to facilitate in reconciling communication conflicts between wireless devices that interact with a computing device and/or reconciling communication conflicts between a wireless device and a locale of a computing device interacting with the wireless devices. One instance allows dynamic reconciliation of a wireless device based, at least in part, on the wireless device's hardware supported communication parameters and/or its currently utilized communication parameters and the like. Another instance provides dynamic communication adjustments based, at least in part, on a locale of a computing device. This facilitates in adjusting communication frequencies based on, at least in part, local laws and regulations and the like.
