Abstract
A sensing device can include an accelerometer, a transceiver, and a computing device in communication with the accelerometer and transceiver. The computing device can transmit a first set of signals at a first power level to a remote device. The computing device can determine, via the accelerometer, a movement of the sensing device. The computing device can increase a power level for transmission from the first power level to a second power level in response to the movement. The computing device can transmit future signals at the second power level to the remote device.
Claims20
A sensing device, comprising:
- an accelerometer;
- a transceiver;
- and
- a computing device in communication with the accelerometer and the transceiver, the computing device being configured to:
- transmit a first plurality of signals at a first power level to a remote device;
- determine, via the accelerometer, a movement of the sensing device;
- in response to the movement, increase a power level for transmission from the first power level to a second power level;
- and
- transmit a second plurality of signals at the second power level to the remote device.
A method, comprising:
- transmitting, via a transceiver of a sensing device, a plurality of first signals at a first frequency to a remote device;
- determining, via an accelerometer of the sensing device, a movement of the sensing device;
- and
- in response to the movement of the sensing device, transmitting, via the transceiver of the sensing device, a plurality of second signals at a second frequency to the remote device.
A sensing device, comprising:
- at least one sensor;
- a transceiver;
- and
- a computing device in communication with the at least one sensor and the transceiver, the computing device being configured to:
- receive a plurality of signals from a remote device over a period of time via the transceiver;
- determine a plurality of signal strength values individually associated with a respective one of the plurality of signals;
- determine that a subset of the plurality of signal strength values passes a predefined threshold value;
- and
- in response to determining that the subset of the plurality of signal strength values passed the predefined threshold value, send instructions to the remote device to cause the remote device to generate signals at a different power level.
