  • Patent number: 10015772
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a geo-tagged beaconing operation. With the geo-tagged beaconing operation, Wi-Fi nodes include geographic information within beacon frames generated by the nodes. In various embodiments, the Wi-Fi nodes include one or more of networking equipment access points, client devices and dedicated Wi-Fi endpoints. Enables a device attempting a Wi-Fi connection to determine its location based upon the geographic information contained within the beacon frame. Upon detecting its location, the Wi-Fi radio then dynamically selects one or more Wi-Fi mode and/or power calibration setting.

  • Patent number: 9922618
    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a processor, a user interface, and a flexible integrated circuit. The user interface may include a user interface comprising a display, a touch sensor overlaid on the display and configured to detect tactile touches on the user interface, a cover overlaid on the touch sensor, and an antenna array comprising a plurality of antennas. The flexible integrated circuit may be configured to couple the antenna array to the processor, the flexible integrated circuit comprising a radio-frequency module for controlling radio-frequency communications to and from the antenna array and a baseband controller for controlling communication of information between the processor and the antenna.

  • Patent number: 9853748
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to optimize or otherwise control radio module transmit power performance from a given wireless-enabled information handling system platform based on a set of system-specific RF parameter values that are provisioned and stored on the information handling system platform and that uniquely represent particular RF characteristics (e.g., such as specific device environment, system chassis configuration, etc.) of the given information handling system.

  • Patent number: 5751885
    Abstract: A centralized video system that is designed for large theme parks and popular tourist areas that allows the user to be in the video by freeing the user from carrying a video cam-corder and can produce a customized video on the spot by adding background music, introductions, and conclusion. The centralized video system includes at least one remote video recorder, imparting apparatus, combining apparatus, producing apparatus, identifying apparatus, and dispensing apparatus. Each remote video recorder records at least one video clip for each customer. The imparting apparatus imparts a different customer identification code for each customer on all the video clips recorded for that customer. The combining apparatus combines all the video clips by the different customer identification code. The producing apparatus produces a video of the combined video clips for each different customer identification number. The identifying apparatus identifies the produced video by the different customer identification code.
