Patent number: 11836857Abstract: Systems, methods and instructions for creating building models of physical structures is disclosed. The building model may be a collection of floors defined by outlines containing regions that may be offset relative to a main region, and a collection of connectors. Connectors may have connection points for tracking, routing and sizing. Connectors may indicate elevation changes through georeferenced structural features. Signal elements may also be features that provide corrections when tracking. Feature descriptors are data that describes the structural configuration and signal elements enabling them to be matched to previously collected data in a database. User interface elements assist a user of a tracking device in collecting floor information, structural features and signal features and validating certain collected information based on previously known information. The height of floors may also be inferred based on sensor data from the tracking device.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: TRX Systems, Inc.Inventors: Travis Young, Daniel Hakim, Daniel Franchy, Jared Napora, John Karvounis, Jonathan Fetter Degges, Tim Wang, Benjamin Funk, Carole Teolis, Carol Politi, Stuart Woodbury

Patent number: 11199412Abstract: This disclosure provides techniques for the creation of maps of indoor spaces. In these techniques, an individual or a team with no mapping or cartography expertise can contribute to the creation of maps of buildings, campuses or cities. An indoor location system can track the location of contributors in the building. As they walk through indoor spaces, an application may automatically create a map based on data from motion sensors by both tracking the location of the contributors and also inferring building features such as hallways, stairways, and elevators based on the tracked contributors' motions as they move through a structure. With these techniques, the process of mapping buildings can be crowd sourced to a large number of contributors, making the indoor mapping process efficient and easy to scale up.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: TRX SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Kamiar Kordari, Benjamin Funk, Carole Teolis, Jared Napora, John Karvounis, Dan Hakim, Christopher Giles, Carol Politi

Publication number: 20090006116Abstract: A system and method for the real-time management of a device, and more particularly to the establishment and enforcement of policies or rules associated with the feature or functions that may be performed with the device. Modern communication devices are capable of many things, including making and receiving calls, exchanging data, playing games and music, sending and receiving email, accessing web sites, and paying for goods and services. Depending on who is using the communication device, such as a child or an employee, there may be a need or desire to regulate how that communication device can be used and to determine who will pay for what goods or services. In addition to providing all of the features associated with a device, service providers need to be able to establish and enforce rules (policies) regulating how and when that device can be used and who will pay for a good or service requested by the user of the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2007Publication date: January 1, 2009Applicant: Kajeet, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Baker, Steven Geller, Douglas Kesser, Daniel Neal, Carol Politi, Ben Weintraub

Publication number: 20090005000Abstract: A system and method for the real-time management of a device, and more particularly to the allocation of electronic wallets that are associated with one or more devices and various controls that enable at least two entities to manage how the device is utilized for various activities and to pay for goods and services. Each device is associated with at least two electronic wallets, a user wallet and an administrator wallet. The administrator can establish rules that designate how and when the device can be used and which wallet will be used to pay for goods and services desired by the user, but in the event the user wallet is depleted or low on funds, the administrator wallet can serve as a backup funding source for specified types of goods and/or services.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2007Publication date: January 1, 2009Applicant: Kajeet, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Baker, Steven Geller, Douglas Kesser, Daniel Neal, Carol Politi, Ben Weintraub
