Abstract

A wireless sensing system includes a first tape node and a second tape node. The first tape node has a low-power wireless-communications interface and an environmental sensor operable to capture and transmit a first set of environmental data of at least one environmental characteristic to the second tape node. The second node includes an environmental sensor, a low-power wireless-communication interface, a first processor, and a first memory communicatively coupled with the first processor, the first memory storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the first processor, cause the first processor to: capture a second set of environmental data; compute an environmental differential between the first set of environmental data and the second set of environmental data; compare the environmental differential to a predetermined environmental threshold; and transmit a notification to a client application of the wireless sensing system running on a client device of the wireless sensing system when the environmental differential exceeds the predetermined environmental threshold.

A wireless sensing system, comprising:

a first tape node having a low-power wireless-communications interface and an environmental sensor operable to capture and transmit a first set of environmental data of at least one environmental characteristic to a second tape node;
and
the second node comprising:
an environmental sensor;
a low-power wireless-communication interface;
a first processor;
and
a first memory communicatively coupled with the first processor, the first memory storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the first processor, cause the first processor to:
capture a second set of environmental data;
compute an environmental differential between the first set of environmental data and the second set of environmental data;
compare the environmental differential to a predetermined environmental threshold;
and
transmit a notification to a client application of the wireless sensing system running on a client device of the wireless sensing system when the environmental differential exceeds the predetermined environmental threshold.

A method for guiding a user to an event detected by a first tape node of a wireless sensing system, comprising:

receiving, by a client application of the wireless sensing system running on a client device, a notification, from a first tape node, that an event has occurred, indicating that an environmental threshold has been exceeded, the environmental threshold indicating that an environmental characteristic has affected an asset that a second tape node is attached thereto;
generating, by the client application, a digital representation of a map, within a graphical user interface (GUI) of the client device, that guides a user to a location of the event;
generating, by the client application, a display within the GUI of the client device, a graphical icon to represent a location of the event;
responsive to the client device being within a proximity of either the first tape node or the second tape node, activating, by the client application, a camera of the client device to capture live video-footage;
and
generating, within the GUI, an AR overlay on the live video-footage to indicates the location of the event.
