Abstract:
A method for detecting the proximity of a signal source using wireless systems is contemplated in which a wireless mobile device wirelessly receives packets from a signal source and determines a received signal strength for each packet. The wireless mobile device may store information based upon the received signal strength for each packet, and calculate from the information stored for all the packets, a current path loss value corresponding to a current distance from the wireless mobile device to the signal source. The wireless mobile device may then determine whether the current distance is sufficient to be an enabling condition such as tap, for example, for a data transfer or a transaction between the wireless mobile device and the signal source.

Claim (Index 36):
An apparatus comprising:\n a processing element, the processing element configured to cause a wireless device to:\n determine a received signal strength corresponding to each of a plurality of packets wirelessly received, from an access point, by a receiver/transmitter of the wireless device; \n calculate, based at least in part on the received signal strength corresponding to each of the plurality of packets, a current path loss value; \n determine a current distance corresponding to the current path loss value; \n determine whether the current distance is within a threshold distance; and \n enable a data transfer with the access point when the current distance is within the threshold distance.
