US Patent:

20190326015, Oct 24, 2019

Filed:

Dec 29, 2017

Appl. No.:

16/474793

Inventors:

- Schenectady NY, US
Philip CRAWLEY - Glen Allen VA, US
Shawn REED - Glen Allen VA, US
Ricardo ALEXANDER - Glen Allen VA, US

International Classification:

G16H 40/67
G16H 80/00
G06F 9/54
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to facilitate proximity detection and location tracking. An example apparatus includes a real time location system (RTLS) health processor. The example RTLS health processor includes an event processor to process an event included in a message from an RTLS device to identify event information related to the RTLS device, the event relating to a health of the RTLS device and the event information including an event type and an event detail. The example RTLS health processor includes a health analyzer to compare the event detail to a prescribed bound for the event type, the event relating to a health of the device. The example RTLS health processor includes an output generator to, when the event information is outside the prescribed bound, trigger a response to address the event with respect to the RTLS device.

International Classification:

H04L 12/26
H04W 4/029
G01S 1/68
H04W 4/80

Abstract:

A cloud based processing system receives location information and health status information of a plurality of beacon devices. The location information indicates real-time locations of the plurality of beacon devices, and the health status information indicates real-time conditions of the plurality of beacon devices. The processing system tracks movements of at least some of the plurality of beacon devices based on the location information and identifies problematic beacon devices based on the health status information.

Abstract:

Systems and techniques for an indoor geospatial site builder engine are presented. A system can convert facility artifacts into geospatially-defined indoor space geometry and provides a rich user experience to visualize the facility's indoor space identifying important landmarks as well as providing controls to navigate the indoor space. The system can also provide the ability to record and change the location of fixed assets at run time as well as verify the location of fixed assets in indoor space in real-time. Similarly, geometries can be updated in real-time. The system further provides the geospatial capability to determine precise distances between assets, devices and other points of interest that are defined independently in separate geo-referenced maps that represent space in various facilities across the globe. The location validation component provides for validation of system device locations over time with the actual device location.
