CPC Class H04W

A fully self-contained portable location tracking device autonomously compares a current location with a latitude-longitude map stored in memory. The latitude-longitude map stores guidance zone values indicative of a predetermined safe zone, progressive alert zones, and a predetermined reference point. The guidance zone values represent actions to be taken based upon current location. When initiated by some combination of current location or zone value, location history, and time, or when otherwise queried, the tracking device transmits the offset from reference location, rather than actual current location data, to at least one wireless communications monitoring apparatus. The monitoring apparatus also stores a copy of the latitude-longitude map and reference point. Using the received offset, the monitoring apparatus knows both the location of the location tracking device and the actions to be taken based upon current location.

Motion tracking systems and methods for determining how a plurality of trackers is positioned on a plurality of body members of a person may include: wirelessly receiving, by a computing device, one or more first data packets of each tracker of the plurality of trackers; digitally determining a first direction in which the computing device is relative to the respective tracker by computing an angle of departure of the one or more first data packets; digitally determining based on the first directions, a second direction in which each tracker of the plurality of trackers is relative to one or more other trackers of the plurality of trackers; and digitally determining on which body member is each tracker of the plurality of trackers positioned on the person at least based on both the second directions and the plurality of body members requiring to have a tracker positioned thereon.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for multimodal audience detection and identification. An example system disclosed herein includes at least one memory, instructions in the apparatus, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: select a portion of a set of signal strength values associated with advertising packets from a device associated with a user, the advertising packets captured by a multi-axis receiver on a plurality of different signal polarizations; calculate a first representative signal strength value based on the selected portion of signal strength values; and determine a presence of the user based on whether the first representative signal strength value satisfies a threshold.

A boat, power sport, recreational vehicle or other asset system for GPS tracking with extended battery life comprising a GPS tracking device with internal battery supply attached to the boat, power sport, recreational vehicle or other asset, an SaaS Application in communication with the GPS tracking device that determines which data to collect from the GPS tracking device, which data to distribute and a frequency of data transmissions required as the boat, power sport, recreational vehicle or other asset moves from a manufacturer to a consumer in a supply chain, and collects the data that the GPS tracking device sends through wireless, cellular, WIFI or Blue Tooth technology, firmware that communicates with the SaaS Application and the GPS tracking device and updates rules within a chip or board on the GPS tracking device that determines what data to collect, what data to distribute, when to send data, how often data is sent, when the GPS tracking device will wake up and when the GPS tracking device will sleep, and an accelerometer embedded in the GPS tracking device that determines whether the GPS tracking device is moving or stationary
