  • Publication number: 20210176728
    Abstract: A system for locating a mobile device emitting a radio frequency signal. A wireless access point device of a wireless local area network is configured to communicatively connect to a wide area network. The system comprises a first access device for wirelessly communicatively detecting a first signal strength of the radio frequency signal in relation to the first access device, a media access control (MAC) address, and a first timestamp of the first signal strength, of the mobile device; a second access device for wirelessly communicatively detecting a second signal strength of the radio frequency signal in relation to the second access device, the MAC address, and a second timestamp of the second signal strength, of the mobile device; a third access device for wirelessly communicatively detecting a third signal strength of the radio frequency signal in relation to the third access device, the MAC address, and a third timestamp of the third signal strength, of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 7827063
    Abstract: A point of sale device includes a point of sale functional component, such as, for example, a display, an input device, a printer, scales, a card reader, or other. An interface is connected to the component, through a standard port of the component. The interface includes a radio frequency communications function. The interface communicates information regarding the component over a wireless communication network. The wireless communication network connects to a maintenance gateway for the device, either via the network, other networks, or by other communicative connection. The device can be monitored and maintained by the maintenance gateway, and the maintenance gateway can be located at a remote location from the device. The interface can also include cooling elements and controls for the device and/or the interface.

  • Patent number: 7751540
    Abstract: A telemetry system includes at least one telemetry communication device for handling security event information available to the telemetry communication device. The system also includes a central host device, and an “always on” network, such as the Internet, communicatively connected to the telemetry communication device and the central host device, for communications between the telemetry communication device and the central host device. Encryption key information is exchanged between the central host device and the telemetry communication device, via a secure path, such as a cellular telephone call between the devices wherein identity and authentication can be ensured by Calling Line Identity information, or other secure exchange. Telemetry information is communicated by the telemetry communication device and the central host device over the “always on” network, in encrypted format according to the particular encryption keys exchanged.
