  • Patent number: 9560143
    Abstract: A system and method for automatic session data transfer between computing devices based on zone transition detection are disclosed. A particular embodiment is configured to: determine if a mobile or wearable computing device is located within a proximity zone around a location of a stationary computing device; establish an authorized wireless data connection with the mobile or wearable computing device via a wireless transceiver; determine if the mobile or wearable computing device is likely departing the proximity zone and if so, upload user session data to the mobile or wearable computing device; and determine if the mobile or wearable computing device is likely approaching the stationary computing device and if so, download user session data from the mobile or wearable computing device.

  • Patent number: 9317150
    Abstract: Systems and methods may provide virtual and configurable touchscreens. The systems and methods may include a plurality of micro impulse radar (MIR) transceivers and logic to determine a location of an input object such as a finger or pointer based on signals from the plurality of MIR transceivers. The MIR transceivers may also create a virtual touchscreen in a plane coincident (adjacent) to or spaced apart from (offset) with respect to a display screen. The MIR transceivers may also map the location of the input object to a position on the display screen. In one example, the system uses triangulation to determine the location of the input object in a virtual plane that creates the virtual touchscreen.
