  • Geolocation Service Discovery Tool
    Publication number: 20160066144
    Abstract: A geolocation discovery system provides an application executing on an individual's mobile wireless device that may detect the presence of hardware used to implement geolocation services or a location associated with known geolocation services. Upon such detection, the program consults with a location registry that identifies specific application programs or permissions necessary to use those geolocation services. The individual is then provided with information or access to the necessary programs or permissions.

  • Privacy-hardened geolocation system
    Patent number: 9241321
    Abstract: A lightweight, wireless geolocation node monitors mobile wireless devices for the purpose of the geolocation and has restricted functionality to better preserve privacy information. MAC addresses acquired from probe signals of mobile wireless devices may be one-way encrypted before being transmitted from the node. Reduced transmission strength may be used for localized transmission without consumer tracking.
