  • Power conservation on user devices having location identification hardware
    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.

  • Reducing power consumption on location reference devices
    Patent number: 9326242
    Abstract: A device may request location information for a location reference device (LRD); receive, based on the request, the location information for the LRD via a cellular network connection; transmit, via the cellular network, an instruction to direct the LRD to activate a non-cellular radio on the LRD; receive wireless signals outputted via the non-cellular radio; determine a distance between the user device and the LRD based on a strength of the wireless signals received by the user device; and audibly or visually indicate, by the user device, the determined distance between the user device and the LRD.

  • Self-activation of user device
    Patent number: 9276934
    Abstract: A first user device and second user device may be coupled, such as by an audio interface included in the second user device. The second user device is unable to generate a registration request, and the first user device may acquire device data associated with the second user device and form the registration request. The registration request may include the device data and information associated with the first user device. The registration request may be authenticated, and activation data may be generated based on the information associated with the first user device and the device data. The activation data is forwarded to the second user device to enable the second user device to access a restricted service or data.
