Abstract: To determine whether a mobile device has entered a geo-fenced region, a first geo-location of the mobile device at a first time is identified. Also, a second geo-location of the mobile device at a second time is identified. A potential travel path of the mobile device is determined between the first geo-location and the second geo-location. The potential travel path is in at least two dimensions. A determination is made as to whether the potential travel path intersects with the predetermined geo-fenced region. If the potential travel path intersects the predetermined geo-fenced region by an amount that satisfies an intersection requirement, a determination is made that the mobile device entered the predetermined geo-fenced region.

Abstract: A method of recording media transmitted to or from a first party communicating through one of a plurality of mobile telecommunications networks with a second party is described. Either the first party or the second party initiates a call with the other party. One of a set of call splitters distributed through the plurality of telecommunications networks is then determined to be a local call splitter to one of the parties. A connection is then established between the first party and the local call splitter to split the call into a recording part and a call part. The call part is routed between the first party and the second party via the call splitter to provide transmission of media between the first party and the second party, and the recording part is provided by the local call splitter to a recording service associated with the first party.

Abstract: The Radiofrequency Identification and Location System represents a novel system and method for locating a Remote Transceiver by means of a Tracking Transceiver whereby the Tracking Transceiver transmits its identification (ID) to the Remote Transceiver which responds with its own ID. The IDs consist of unique PN code sequences which alternately can be PN cover codes and orthogonal codes. A Remote Transceiver can respond to multiple Tracking Transceivers simultaneously while a Tracking Transceiver can receive from multiple Remote Transceivers. By measuring the transit time of its transmitted PN code with respect to the PN code received from a Remote Transceiver, the Tracking Transceiver can measure the distance to that Remote Transceiver and home in gradually.

Scan results received from each of the plurality of access points comprise a list of neighboring access points from the plurality of access points relative to each access point. Responsive to a number of the plurality of access points exceeding a number of non-interfering channels, assigning each of the plurality of access points to a non-interfering channel with sharing of at least one of the non-interfering channels, using a GCA (Graph Coloring Algorithm) in which each color assignment corresponds to a non-interfering channel assignment in order to prevent neighboring access points from sharing a non-interfering channel. Lowest RSSI measurements collected by access points can also be a factor in channel selection.
