Abstract: The examiner has taken the exact language in WO 2015/094370 A1 to transcribe it: Systems, apparatus, and methods to determine relationships, group memberships, and social networks and circles automatically through an analysis of media content, such as photos or videos, and ascertaining the connections between individuals or groups. Embodiments include identifying individuals in photos with or without other people in different situations, and developing a context based on objects in the photo. The extracted context may be stored in a predefined ontology structure in a database and analyzed to determine relationships or group memberships. A database of automatically determined relationships may be analyzed in order to provide relationship recommendations, social advice, or to support law enforcement investigations. The database may be continuously updated with additional information provided by individuals or obtained through a secondary social network that includes user media or social information.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe a method and device for controlling a physical layer of a communication device to operate in one of three modes of communication. In a first mode, the device is able to demodulate frames of a Complimentary Code Keying (CCK) modulation type. In a second mode, the device is able to demodulate frames of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation type. In a third, autodetection mode, the device is able to automatically detect the modulation type of a received frame and to configure the communication device to demodulate the received frame according to the detected modulation type. Control of the physical layer may be based on criteria related to prior transmissions received or transmitted by the communication device.
