  • Approximation of the physical location of devices and transitive device discovery through the sharing of neighborhood information using wireless or wired discovery mechanisms
    Patent number: 9438499
    Abstract: A method of constructing an approximate spatial representation of electronic devices in a neighborhood of devices is described. The method may include collecting data from electronic devices within a range, wherein the data comprises one or more of a unique identifier for an electronic device, endpoints of original electronic devices, and level of indirection of a discovered endpoint and building a data collection representing a neighborhood of electronic devices from the collected data. The collected data may further include relative distance or received signal strength indication or other information about physical location of the electronic device.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING USER PREFERENCES FOR ONE OR MORE SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS RUNING ON A MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20080167050
    Abstract: A computer-based method and system for managing user preferences for one or more software applications running on a mobile computing device comprises the steps of: using the mobile computing device to receive data concerning a location of the mobile computing device; using the mobile computing device to receive data about each wireless device present and/or available for connection in the location; querying a first database to ascertain optimal user preferences for the one or more software applications running on the mobile computing device based on the location of the mobile computing device and the wireless devices present and/or available for connection in the location; and communicating instructions to one or more software applications for changing the user preferences associated with each software application to the optimal user preferences.
