20090061770 | BLUETOOTH DEVICE WITH ON-DEMAND PAGE SCAN - A Bluetooth device that includes a Bluetooth transceiver operatively configured to perform inquiry scans and page scans periodically during a standby mode, and to carry out communications during a connection state. The device further includes a Bluetooth controller for controlling operation of the transceiver, the controller being operatively configured to selectively control the transceiver to perform the inquiry scans and the page scans concurrently in a normal standby mode, and to perform the inquiry scans alone in the absence of the page scans in an on-demand page scanning mode, as a function of a predefined criteria. | 03-05-2009 |
20120088519 | MOBILE DEVICE FOR LOW POWER IDENTIFICATION OF ITS POSITION AND A METHOD THEREFORE - The present invention relates to a method in a mobile device and a mobile device for low power identification of its position in an indoor environment, in which beacon transmitters of a beacon system are present. The device receives a notification from at least one of the beacon transmitters of the beacon system that notifies the mobile device that it is within the range of the beacon system. Thus it is the beacon transmitters that perform the continuous scanning to identify if the mobile device is within range and not the mobile device itself. This will reduce the power consumption of the mobile device substantially. The mobile device will than request that the beacon transmitters within range to send data pertaining to their position, and then determine its position by performing calculations based on such data. | 04-12-2012 |
