20090067392FLOOR DETERMINATION FOR A WIRELESS DEVICE - An apparatus configured to acquire received signal strength intensities (RSSIs) for a wireless device from a plurality of access points (APs) located on a plurality floors. The apparatus is configured to determine which floor the wireless device is on by analyzing the RSSIs. In an example embodiment, the RSSIs are adjusted, and the adjusted RSSIs for each floor are summed. The floor with highest sum of adjusted RSSIs is determined to be the floor the wireless device is on. In an example embodiment, the floor that the wireless device is on is determined by calculating the probability that the wireless device is within the cell of each AP on the network, and combining the probabilities for each floor. Known RSSIs between APs can be employed for comparing measured RSSIs with the known RSSIs to determine the probability that the wireless device is within the cell of each AP.03-12-2009

20090060148METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO CONNECT CONSUMERS TO INFORMATION - The present invention provides a method and apparatus for specifying and obtaining services through audio commands, resulting in a live conversation between a user and a selected service provider using an audio-transmission medium (the telephone). A service seeker locates a service provider by entering a keypad code corresponding to a field of service or by speaking the name of a profession, which is recognized by the system. The seeker can then specify, via voice or keypad entry, a price range, quality rating, language, and keyword descriptors of the service provider, such as a service provider code number. In response, the system offers currently available service providers. Once an available service provider is selected, the system connects the service seeker with the service provider for a live conversation. The system bills the seeker for the time spent conversing with the service provider and compensates the service provider accordingly.03-05-2009
