20100157345 | SYSTEM FOR AUTHORING EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS - An assessment authoring system implemented by an operative set of processor executable instructions configured for execution by at least one processor includes a user interface and an assessment generation component. The user interface communicates user input and the assessment generation component receives the user input from the user interface. The assessment generation component generates an assessment data structure for printing on a multifunction device. The printed assessment includes a marking region adapted to receive a human marking. The system may utilize a model or rubric that can be used to score the human marks when are processed by image processing. | 06-24-2010 |
20120185206 | METHOD FOR SETTING THE GEOLOCATION OF A NON-GPS ENABLED DEVICE - A method and device for setting a geolocation of a non-GPS enabled device utilizes GPS mapping technology to allow a user to select and set an exact location for a given device within a facility. The method can include obtaining a GPS map of the site where the device is deployed, obtaining a site map of the site, determining the GPS coordinates of at least one of the corners of the site map, overlaying the site map on the GPS map, aligning the at least one corner of the site map with corresponding GPS coordinates on the GPS map, calculating a grid covering the site map, selecting a location on the site map corresponding to the position of the device, and determining the geolocation of the device by calculating the latitude and longitude of said position. | 07-19-2012 |
20140094117 | ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DEVICES USING CLOSE PROXIMITY PROTOCOL - Methods and devices detect a near field communication (NFC) from a near field wireless communication device of an external computerized device, using an apparatus near field wireless communication device. Based on detecting the NFC, the methods/devices generate random identification and security codes, transmit the identification code and the security code from the apparatus near field wireless communication device to the device near field wireless communication device, and place the previously inactive apparatus wide-range wireless communication device in an active state. In response, the method receives the security code from a wide-range wireless communication device of the external computerized device using the apparatus wide-range wireless communication device. Then the method establishes a network communication session only between the external computerized device and the apparatus based on receiving the security code. | 04-03-2014 |
20140292496 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VERIFYING PHYSICAL PROXIMITY TO A NETWORK DEVICE - Systems and methods for verifying physical proximity to a network device are provided. The method includes acquiring a tag identifier from a tag fixed in, on, or proximal to a network device, using a computing device. The tag is configured to be read and written to by electronic communication with the computing device, when the computing device is disposed in proximity to the tag. The method further includes transmitting data indicative of the tag identifier to a server, and receiving an authorization confirmation from the server. The method also includes rewriting the tag so as to replace the tag identifier with a new tag identifier, using the computing device, and performing one or more operations with the network device after receiving the authorization. | 10-02-2014 |

20140333419 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAPPING MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS TO A SINGLE NFC TAG - A method and system are disclosed for mapping multiple applications or services from a single tag. A tag is deployed in a product that stores multiple intent records, the first of which maps to a client multiplexing component. The client multiplexing component, resident on a user device, is automatically initiated upon establishment of a communications link between the user device and the tag. The client multiplexing component then reads each subsequent record on the tag and selectively launches the application or service on the user device. Any data to be written back to the tag is communicated from the corresponding application or service through the client multiplexing component. | 11-13-2014 |
