    Abstract: Many indoor location services do not require precise knowledge of the position of a mobile device, but simply whether a mobile device is within a particular zone of an indoor area. Existing signals in an indoor space may provide enough information to distinguish between different zones of an indoor area, allowing a server to provide indoor location services without requiring the installation of new signal sources in the indoor area.

  • Patent number: 9152624
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing a browsing application that allows users to navigate image-based content. Images and associated descriptive attributes describing the images are stored in a database. The user may select an item of interest and an example-based proximity search function may be executed to search for similar images. Images having common descriptive attributes may be grouped together and displayed. A web browser may be implemented and users may select reduced-size images of previously viewed web pages in order to access the web page.

  • Publication number: 20110076663
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for selecting survey questions and response for inclusion in a survey using a survey software application. Survey questions may be selected based on the response variance or inclusion value of each survey question. A non-inclusive list of survey responses may be selected based on the selection rate of each survey response. The response rates may be adjusted to correct for instances where survey participants selected a response indicating that none of the provided responses was adequate because a hidden response was not provided. Selected survey questions and responses may be provided to a survey participant.
