Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of location determination during network address lookup are disclosed. In one embodiment, a mobile device comprises a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver is configured to transmit, to a wireless router having a wireless router network address, a request for a mobile device network address to be associated with the mobile device, receive one or more signals representative of an assignment of the mobile device network address to the mobile device, where the assignment of the mobile device network address includes an association of the mobile device network address with the physical location of the wireless router. The processor is configured to determine the physical location included in the assignment of the mobile device network address. The transceiver can then transmit the physical location to emergency services upon making a subsequent emergency call.

Abstract: A system and method for conditionally transitioning a navigation process on a mobile device between an active state and a reduced activity state are described. In particular, a transition of the navigation process between the active state and the reduced activity state may occur in response to the mobile device approaching a transition location on a predetermined route where the navigation process is to transition to the active state.

Abstract: Dynamic connection management of a network connection at an electronic communications device is disclosed. In an example, one or more connection criteria associated with connection establishment at the electronic communications device is determined at the electronic communications device. The electronic communications device determines a connection acquisition priority list based on current values of the one or more connection criteria, the connection acquisition priority list being a prioritized order of connection types. The electronic communications device attempts to establish a network connection based on the connection acquisition priority list.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a system and method for acquiring signal received from satellite vehicles (SVs) in a satellite navigation system. In one example, although claimed subject matter is not so limited, information processed in acquiring a signal from a first SV may be used in acquiring a signal from a second SV.

Abstract: Spoofing of a satellite positioning system is detected by receiving position location data from multiple sources. The received data is compared and inconsistent data is marked. A position location is estimated based on the received position location data, while accounting for the marked inconsistent data.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and techniques for calibrating a barometric pressure sensor of a mobile device. In one embodiment, a barometric pressure sensor of a mobile device may be calibrated by determining that the mobile device has returned to a frequently visited location at which an altitude is known. The know altitude may then be used for calibrating the barometric pressure sensor for obtaining altitude measurements based on raw measurements obtained by the barometric pressure sensor.

Abstract: A method and system for a mobile station to determine its position (or velocity) and time using a hybrid combination of satellite orbit data. In one aspect, the mobile station combines predicted orbit data from one satellite and real-time orbit data from another satellite in the determination of a fix. The combination can be made to the satellites in the same or different satellite systems. The mobile station can use the real-time orbit data of a satellite at one time period and the predicted orbit data of the same satellite at another time period. In another aspect, the mobile station can use the real-time orbit data to correct the clock bias in the predicted orbit data. The correction to the clock bias can be made to the same satellite that provides the real-time orbit data, or to a different satellite in the same or in another satellite system.

Abstract: A method and system for assisting mobile stations to locate a satellite use an efficient messaging format. A server computes a correction between coarse orbit data of a satellite and precise orbit data of the satellite. A coordinate system is chosen such that variation of the correction is substantially smooth over time. The server further approximates the correction with mathematical functions to reduce the number of bits necessary for transmission to a mobile station. The mobile station, upon receiving the coefficients, evaluates the mathematical functions using the coefficients and a time of applicability (e.g., the current time), converts the evaluated result to a standard coordinate system, and applies the conversion result to the coarse orbit data to obtain the precise orbit data.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods and techniques for calibrating an altimeter of a mobile device. For example, a characterized motion of a mobile device may be used to infer an altitude of the mobile device. If it is further inferred that the mobile device is in an outdoor environment, an altitude of the mobile device may be based on application of an estimated location of the mobile device to an altitude terrain map.

Abstract: Securing access to a portable electronic device (PED), securing e-commerce transactions at an electronic device (ED) and dynamically adjusting system settings at a PED are disclosed. In an example, usage or mobility characteristics of the PED or ED (e.g., a location of the ED or PED, etc.) are compared with current parameters of the PED or ED. A determination as to whether to permit an operation (e.g., access, e-commerce transaction, etc.) at the ED or PED can be based at least in part upon a degree to which the current parameters conform with the usage or mobility characteristics. In another example, at least a current location of a PED can be used to determine which system settings to load at the PED.
