  • Patent number: 9996234
    Abstract: A system includes a processor, a display device, an input device and a memory with an application executable on the processor. The display device has a display frame of reference with an origin, in which the display device displays an object with the origin contained within the object. The object includes an object start point and the frame of reference includes a predetermined target point. In a user rotation mode the display device shows at least one rotation indicator, where one of multiple axes is associated to the rotation indicator. The object start point is indicated by a location on the rotation indicator. The input device selects the location on the rotation indicator and the processor in turn rotates the object to a new orientation by rotating the object about the associated axis to align the object start point with the target point.

  • Patent number: 9706513
    Abstract: A user device may detect, using a first radio associated with the user device, a presence of a location reference device; and determine a location associated with the user device. When determining the location associated with the user device, the user device is to receive location information from the location reference device, via the first, and refrain, based on detecting the presence of the location reference device, from determining the location using a second radio associated with the user device while the user device is within a communication range of the location reference device.
