  • Patent number: 12019140
    Abstract: A mobile device may receive a plurality of timestamps, wherein the plurality of timestamps indicate sending and receiving time for ranging packets and response packets. The mobile device may calculate a responder turn-around time as a first difference between the second time and the first time. The mobile device may calculate a responding round trip time as a second difference between the second time and the third time. The mobile device may receive from the electronic device an initiator turn-around time and an initiator round trip time. The mobile device may calculate a frequency offset for the wireless protocol using the responder turn-around time, the responding round trip time, the initiator turn-around time, and the initiator round trip time. The mobile device may compare an observed frequency offset to the calculated frequency offset to determine a frequency offset difference and whether it exceeds a threshold, adjusting a ranging measurement.

  • Patent number: 10323942
    Abstract: Techniques provided herein are directed toward enabling on-device learning to create user-specific movement models that can be used for dead reckoning. Because these moving models are user-specific, they can be later used to identify user-specific motions in a manner that provides for a dead reckoning location estimation. In some embodiments, these models can be focused on pedestrian movement, based on the repetitive motion that occurs when a user takes a stride (walking, jogging, running, etc.) or other repetitive motion (swimming, riding a horse, etc.).

  • Patent number: 10041800
    Abstract: Techniques provided herein are directed toward resolving a direction of travel of a mobile device based on MEMS sensor data by identifying a type of motion the mobile device is subject to and offsetting vertical acceleration data with horizontal acceleration data by a predetermined time offset based on the identified type of motion. The offset vertical and horizontal acceleration data can then be used to resolve, with an increased accuracy, a direction of travel of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 10045154
    Abstract: A method of performing functions by proxy for a set of associated proximate devices is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method may comprise associating a set of user equipments (UEs), wherein upon determination that a first UE in the set is unavailable for performing a requested function, at least one alternate second UE in the associated set of UEs is selected, wherein the at least one second UE is proximate to the first UE and the at least one second UE is available for performing the requested function. The performance of the requested function on the at least one second UE is initiated.
