20090156231 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A LOCATION AREA OF A MOBILE USER - A computer system determines location probabilities for defined sub-areas ( | 06-18-2009 |
20120142376 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOCATING A MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL IN A GEOGRAPHICAL AREA - A method, and corresponding system, for locating mobile communication terminals associated with a mobile radio network covering a geographical area. Antenna probabilities for a plurality of sub-areas of the geographical area are determined and stored, and locations of mobile communication terminals are estimated based on antennas used by the mobile communication terminals and the antenna probabilities for the sub-areas. The antenna probabilities are determined based on expected field strength. In this regard, the antenna probabilities indicate for at least some of the antennas the probability that in a respective sub-area the field strength of the corresponding antenna is higher than the field strength of other antennas, and the antenna probabilities indicate the probability that the mobile communication terminal, located in the respective sub-area, uses the corresponding antenna for at least one of registering or communicating with the mobile radio network. | 06-07-2012 |
20130178228 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING ANTENNA PROBABILITIES IN SUB-AREAS OF A GEOGRAPHICAL AREA - A system and method are provided for determining antenna probabilities for a plurality of sub-areas of a geographic area covered by a plurality of antennas. In this regard, the antenna probabilities may indicate for each of the plurality of sub-areas a probability that in a respective sub-area a field strength of a particular antenna is higher than a field strength of at least one other of the plurality of antennas, and may indicate the probability that a mobile communication terminal, located in the respective sub-area, uses the particular antenna for communicating. The antenna probabilities may be determined based on field strengths. The antenna probabilities for the plurality of sub-areas may be determined based on normal distributions of field strengths. In this regard, expected field strengths for antenna(s) in each sub-area may be calculated. The real field strengths may be measured, such as by use of mobile terminals. | 07-11-2013 |
20140057650 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A LOCATION AREA OF A MOBILE USER - A system and a method for determining a location area of a user using a mobile communication terminal in a geographical area covered by a mobile radio network, based on location probabilities for defined sub-areas of the geographical area. The location probabilities may be determined based on, e.g., field strengths expected in the sub-areas from antennas and based on the antenna used by the mobile communication terminal. The location probabilities may indicate, for a sub-area, the probability that the mobile communication terminal is located in the respective sub-area. At least one ellipse defining the location area may be determined, such as based on the location probabilities. The location probabilities may enable determining elliptical location areas of mobile users much smaller than the area each antenna does cover physically, but without the need for measuring at the mobile communication terminal signal properties such as signal strength or observed time differences. | 02-27-2014 |
20150050949 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING ANTENNA PROBABILITIES IN SUB-AREAS OF A GEOGRAPHICAL AREA - Methods and systems are provided for determining signal source probabilities. For example, signal source probabilities for a plurality of sub-areas of a geographic area covered by a plurality of signal sources may be determined. The signal source probabilities may indicate for each of the plurality of sub-areas probable field strength of the plurality of signal sources, and the signal source probabilities may indicate the probability that a mobile device, located in a respective sub-area, is operable to detect the particular signal source for communicating. Determining signal source probabilities may comprise calculating expected field strengths in the plurality of sub-areas. Determining signal source probabilities may comprise obtaining power information indicating a detected power of respective signals received by the mobile device from multiple transmitters. A probability model, including the signal source probabilities, may be determined. The probability model may be a three dimensional model. | 02-19-2015 |

20110184892 | Apparatus and Method for Baggage Check and Promotional Advertisement - A luggage tag for identifying luggage and providing promotional material includes a substrate comprising an elongated portion for forming a loop with which to attach the tag to a piece of luggage; a first scratch surface portion on the substrate which is removable to reveal a first printed indicator; and a second scratch surface portion on the substrate which is removable to reveal a second printed indicator, wherein, if the first and second printed indicators match, the tag is a prize winner. The substrate has a detachable portion, the second scratch surface being disposed on the detachable portion of the substrate. The elongate portion for forming the loop and the first scratch surface are disposed on a main portion of the substrate which remains as the luggage tag after the detachable portion is detached. | 07-28-2011 |
20130275191 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BAGGAGE CHECK AND PROMOTIONAL ADVERTISEMENT - A luggage tag system includes a main portion comprising an elongated portion for forming a loop to attach the luggage tag system to a piece of luggage; a removable portion detachable from the main portion; a unique serial number provided on both the main portion and the removable portion; an area of the removable portion comprising a printed coupon or prize indicator; and an adhesive panel covering the area to prevent the area from being seen until the adhesive panel is removed. Any portion of the adhesive panel that is separated from the removable portion of the tag system loses its ability to adhere to the removable portion so that premature removal of the adhesive panel, in whole or in part, is detectable. | 10-17-2013 |

20120239191 | REAL TIME EXPLOSIVE HAZARD INFORMATION SENSING, PROCESSING, AND COMMUNICATION FOR AUTONOMOUS OPERATION - Methods, computer readable media, and apparatuses provide robotic explosive hazard detection. A robot intelligence kernel (RIK) includes a dynamic autonomy structure with two or more autonomy levels between operator intervention and robot initiative A mine sensor and processing module (ESPM) operating separately from the RIK perceives environmental variables indicative of a mine using subsurface perceptors. The ESPM processes mine information to determine a likelihood of a presence of a mine. A robot can autonomously modify behavior responsive to an indication of a detected mine. The behavior is modified between detection of mines, detailed scanning and characterization of the mine, developing mine indication parameters, and resuming detection. Real time messages are passed between the RIK and the ESPM. A combination of ESPM bound messages and RIK bound messages cause the robot platform to switch between modes including a calibration mode, the mine detection mode, and the mine characterization mode. | 09-20-2012 |

20140129273 | System and Method for Visual Role Engineering - The system and method of visual role engineering uses a visual assessment tool to identify clusters of users and to define roles. A “cluster image” is generated that visually depicts the cluster tendencies of users and permissions. An operator of the visual assessment tool can visually identify clusters of users with the same permissions. The operator may select a cluster representing a subset of users, define a role for the subset of users, and assign permissions to the role. The process may be repeated in an iterative fashion until it is determined that no more roles are needed. | 05-08-2014 |
