Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and tangible non-transitory carrier media encoded with one or more computer programs that can determine the path or route most likely navigated by a mobile target are described. In accordance with particular embodiments, the most likely path or route is determined based on path-based scoring of position estimates obtained from different types of complementary locationing signal sources. Instead of fusing the position data derived from the different types of signal sources, these particular embodiments determine the most likely path navigated by the mobile target based on an independent aggregation of the position estimates derived from complementary signals of different source types.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to wireless sensor networks installation, deployment, maintenance, and operation. A distributed network of wireless tags enable a wide variety of different indoor and outdoor applications to be implemented, including asset finding, workflow automation, and internet-of-things applications. The physical premises environment may be any location in which there are persons, places or things to be monitored, tracked, sensed, or inventoried, or other defined space. The distributed network of wireless tags is associated with a wireless client device that enables a customer to configure and retrieve status data, event data, and sensor data from wireless tags and other components in the physical premises environment. Embodiments utilize different types of network nodes to collect data from the physical premises environment. Examples of the types of data that may be collected by the wireless tags include asset status information, event data, and sensor data.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable data storage apparatus provide automated identification techniques that seamlessly and accurately bridge the differences between different identification systems to enable more useful and advanced product and service offerings, such as realtime tracking of shipment location and status.

Abstract: A low-cost task specific device system for scheduling tasks that are performed by one or more devices is described. After a preceding task is performed, the performance of a successive task is delayed for a task-specific recharge interval associated with the preceding task. The successive task is performed after the task-specific recharge interval has expired.

Abstract: A low-cost, multi-function tracking system with a form factor that unobtrusively integrates the components needed to implement a combination of different localization techniques and also is able to perform a useful ancillary function that otherwise would have to be performed with the attendant need for additional materials, labor, and expense.

Abstract: The disclosure features a method of creating a communications network. In this method, a first tape node includes a first type of wireless communication interface and a second type of wireless communication interface having a longer range than the first type of wireless communication interface. A second tape node includes the first type of wireless communication interface that is operable to communicate with the first tape node over a wireless communication connection established between the first type of wireless communication interfaces of the first and second tape nodes. Over a wireless communication connection, the first tape node sends programmatic code executable by the first tape node to function as a master tape node with respect to the second tape node.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for creating a monitoring network are described. A server associates a master wireless node with a package in a first set of associated packages. The server and the master wireless node communicate with one another over first type of wireless communications interface. The server also associates a peripheral wireless node with another package in the set and with the master node. The peripheral wireless node and the master wireless node communicate with one another over a second type of wireless communications interface. The peripheral node includes a sensor operative to generate sensor data by sensing an environmental condition. The master wireless node processes the sensor data to generate one or more package-level statistics of the processed sensor data.
