MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647092724 A) filed by Qualcomm Incorporated on July 30, 2026, for Providing Contextual Information For Isolated Passive Devices With High Confidence.

Inventors include Hiscock, Paul Dominic; Burke, Joseph Patrick; and Agrawal, Sumit.

The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.

Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communications. For example, a device can transmit, to passive devices, a transmit signal with a first phase. The device can receive, from each passive device, a respective response signal based on the transmit signal and determine, based on a difference between the first phase and a respective phase of each respective response signal, distances for the passive devices. The device can determine a respective confidence level for each respective distance of each passive device to the device based on a variance of the respective phase of each respective response signal. The device can compare the respective distance of each passive device with each other distance to determine a passive device with a smallest distance. The device can output contextual information based on the passive devices first having the smallest distance, with a confidence level determined for a distance from the passive device to the device.
