Abstract: A method comprising: collecting from each of multiple access points in a network of access points a set of measurements made at a respective access point for signals transmitted by other access points, wherein the network of access points is for use in positioning a device that communicates with the network of access points; processing the collected sets of measurements to classify changes in the network of access points; and performing an action that is conditional upon how a change is classified.

Abstract: An apparatus including: a radio transmitter configured to transmit radio signals that are at least partially reflected by a human body; one or more radio receivers configured to receive the transmitted radio signals after having been at least partially reflected by a human body of a user; a gesture detector configured to detect a predetermined time-varying modulation that is present in the received radio signals compared to the transmitted radio signals; and a controller configured to interpret the predetermined time-varying modulation as a predetermined user input command and change the operation of the apparatus.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to permit improve gesture recognition based on fusion of different types of sensor signals. In the context of a method, a series of image frames and a sequence of radar signals are received. The method determines an evaluation score for the series of image frames that is indicative of a gesture. This determination of the evaluation score may be based on the motion blocks in an image area and the shift of the motion blocks between image frames. The method also determines an evaluation score for the sequence of radar signals that is indicative of the gesture. This determination of the evaluation score may be based upon the sign distribution in the sequence and the intensity distribution in the sequence. The method weighs each of the evaluation scores and fuses the evaluation scores, following the weighting, to identify the gesture.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product are disclosed for identifying the geographic location where an object is created in a mobile wireless device, based on the known locations of a plurality of wireless access points. When the object is stored by the mobile device in a media object file format, the mobile wireless device determines the current location with respect to a plurality of wireless access points having known geographic locations. This enables identifying the geographic location of the wireless device at the time the object is created and then associating the location information with the object as a geo-tag, which can be attached to the object at the time it is created or later.
