Abstract: Methods and systems for communication between remote internet enabled devices to RF network based devices. The remote device is able to communicate through a gateway device connected to the internet and capable of RF network communication. It is by communication to this gateway device is that a server is able to identify and communicate with an RF device, such as a Bluetooth enabled tracking device, to uniquely identify it and alter its state, so that multiple users could simultaneously control the RF device without having a direct RF connection to the device.

Abstract: A method of an application to identify wireless peripherals in an iOS environment or other environment when peripheral identification information such as address is limited or not available. The application assigns a unique identifier to each peripheral as it connects to a wireless network such as Bluetooth. The unique identifier is a settable/readable parameter that the operating system assigns as a property to the wireless peripheral, for example audio volume. The application assigns a unique value to the identifier for each peripheral, and if the parameters are equal for two or more peripherals, the values are slightly adjusted to be different. The application is particularly useful for keeping track of multiple Bluetooth headsets.

Abstract: A system for the prevention of loss of wallets, keys, purses and the like. The system uses a programmable wireless appliance such as a cell phone as a wireless tracker, and utilizes lightweight wireless tag devices attached to the items to protected. A software application executes on the wireless appliance to query the wireless tags and determines when any part of the system is going out of range.
