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 28):
A method comprising:\n at a wireless mobile device:\n receiving signals via an antenna of the wireless mobile device, wherein the signals comprise packets received from an access point; \n generating, for the received packets, an associated signal strength; \n estimating a distance value representing a distance of the wireless device from the access point, based at least in part on the associated signal strength for each of a plurality of the received packets; \n determining to exclude a packet of the received packets from use in estimating the distance value when the associated signal strength for the packet represents an outlier value; and \n enabling a data transfer with the access point when the distance value is within a predetermined range.
