20140071004 | BATTERY ANTENNA HAVING A SECONDARY RADIATOR - A combination battery and antenna includes a battery having a positive contact and a negative contact, at least one of the positive contact and the negative contact comprising an antenna coupled to a matching circuit and to a radio frequency choke, whereby direct current (DC) is supplied to a battery circuit and a radio frequency (RF) signal is supplied to an RF circuit, and at least one secondary radiator parasitically coupled to the at least one of the positive contact and the negative contact of the battery. | 03-13-2014 |
20140044307 | SENSOR INPUT RECORDING AND TRANSLATION INTO HUMAN LINGUISTIC FORM - Systems, methods, and devices use a mobile device's sensor inputs to automatically draft natural language messages, such as text messages or email messages. In the various embodiments, sensor inputs may be obtained and analyzed to identify subject matter which a processor of the mobile device may reflect in words included in a communication generated for the user. In an embodiment, subject matter associated with a sensor data stream may be associated with a word, and the word may be used to assemble a natural language narrative communication for the user, such as a written message. | 02-13-2014 |
20130246175 | SELECTIVELY PRESENTING ADVERTISEMENTS TO A CUSTOMER OF A SERVICE BASED ON A PLACE MOVEMENT PATTERN PROFILE - In an embodiment, a first communications device monitors movement of a customer that subscribes to a service of a vendor, determines, based on the monitoring, a list of places that are habitually visited by the customer within a threshold period of time of each other, and generates a place movement pattern profile (PMPP). In another embodiment, a second communications device determines advertisement campaign rules for presentation of advertisements for the service based on the PMPP, detects that the customer is engaged in a visit to the list of places in a manner consistent with the PMPP, and delivers advertisements to the customer on behalf of the vendor based upon the advertisement campaign rules in response to the detection. The first and second communications devices can be the same or different, and can each correspond to a server or a mobile device operated by the customer. | 09-19-2013 |
20130203440 | SELECTIVELY PERFORMING A POSITIONING PROCEDURE AT AN ACCESS TERMINAL BASED ON A BEHAVIOR MODEL - In an embodiment, an access terminal (AT) measures and reports location information when positioned at a user-defined place associated with a geofence to a server, and the server updates a place fingerprint configured to identify the user-defined place based on the reported location information. In another embodiment, the AT or the server obtains location information associated with a set of user-defined places that are identifiable by a set of place fingerprints, determines whether a location event has occurred and updates a behavior model for the access terminal based on the determination. In another embodiment, the AT receives a request for its location and evaluates a set of factors (e.g., the behavior model, etc.) to determine whether to acquire the AT's location with a high power-consumption positioning procedure (e.g., GPS). | 08-08-2013 |
