  • Publication number: 20220261578
    Abstract: A mobile device includes: a camera; a display; a tracking sensor; and a controller connected to a repository of item identifiers and item positions in a facility frame of reference for items disposed on support surfaces within a facility, the controller configured to: track, via the tracking sensor, successive poses of the mobile device in the facility frame of reference; control the camera to capture a stream of images while tracking the poses, and for each image: determine, based on the tracked poses, whether to perform item detection, and when the determination is affirmative, (i) process the image to detect respective indicia affixed to a subset of the items and decode respective item identifiers from the indicia, (ii) generate positions of the detected indicia in the facility frame of reference, based on the poses of the mobile device, and (iii) update the repository with the decoded item identifiers and the generated positions.

  • Patent number: 8352767
    Abstract: The invention relates to systems and or methodologies for intelligent and adaptive power management in mobile devices. A peripheral power management component can set peripheral devices to active or inactive based on one or more schemas. The schemas can be predetermined or generated by the peripheral power management component. In addition, an adaptive component can modify the schemas to reflect actual usage or changing trends for each peripheral device.

  • Publication number: 20050239518
    Abstract: The present invention manages power for state machines. The system and methods selectively apply, remove and/or reduce power to portions of the state machine, based on power management schemes, intelligence, a user, an application, etc. Such novel systems and methods provide for sustaining a CPU and/or a network radio in an “on” state, while lowering and/or removing power to other portions of the state machine to reduce power consumption. The foregoing enables a wireless mobile terminal to maintain network connectivity and be able to wake to service events such as a link status change, a network keep alive, a proxy-ARP packets, a re-authentication packets, etc. Such power management can execute in the background and return the wireless mobile terminal to a “run” state via invocation from a wake source such as a power control, a key, a trigger, a touch screen, a wake up timer, a wake-on-LAN, etc.
