  • Patent number: 8754863
    Abstract: A fixed display system that can interact with a communication device includes a display system including a fixed display operable to display information. A sensor is operable to provide a first signature upon an occurrence of a predetermined event, and the communication device is also operable to provide a second signature upon the occurrence of the same predetermined event. A processor compares the first and second signatures and determines whether these first and second signatures describe the same predetermined event, whereupon the processor initiates a communication session between the display system and the communication device. In addition, personal information of the user on the communication device may be used locally or partially/fully transferred to the display system to provide a personalized interactive experience for the user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7885606
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for providing measurement assistance in a survey of a wireless communication network includes a first step (1) of defining a scope of measurement targets to complete the survey. A next step (2) includes measuring an RF parameter at a specific spatial coordinate. A next step (3) includes analyzing the measurement to determine if the measurement is valid. A next step (5) includes storing the measurement. A next step (6) includes recommending further measurement locations for survey completeness. A next step (4) includes determining whether the survey is complete. A next step (7) includes implementing the wireless communication network in accordance with the final survey.
