Abstract

Disclosed herein are techniques of geo-location for building sites including: providing means for determining a precise position; providing an application; starting the application; providing at least one feature option to the user of the application, the at least one feature option including at least one option that uses the precise position; acting upon at least one feature action on behalf of the user, the at least one feature action including at least one action that uses the at least one feature option; interacting with a 3D end point on the basis of the at least one feature action; and providing a final output that takes into account the interaction with the 3D end point. Users are enabled to precisely position building information that specifies precise construction deficiencies of a building site in a 3D model and to address those deficiencies during construction.

Claims12

Dependent claims

A method of geo-location for a building site, the method comprising the steps of:

(a) providing a portable device on a building site, the portable device using an angle-of-arrival or time-of-arrival system using a long-range wireless communication protocol technology using at least one transponder and at least three receiver/transmitters at known positions on the building site for determining a precise position of the portable device wherein the long-range wireless communication protocol technology includes at least one sensor or data bank connected to at least one receiver/transmitter;
(b) providing an application on the portable device;
(c) starting the application;
(d) providing at least one feature option to a user of the application, the at least one feature option including at least one option that uses the precise position;
(e) acting upon at least one feature action on behalf of the user of the application, the at least one feature action including at least one action that uses the at least one feature option;
(f) interacting with a 3D end point on the basis of the at least one feature action;
(g) the at least one sensor or data bank transmitting information on the building site to the portable device, the information selected from the group consisting of room temperature, concrete hardness, humidity, how many people came into a room, and photo of a room;
and
(h) providing a final output resulting from the interaction with the 3D end point,
where the final output identifies a precise position of building information.

A system of geo-location for a building site, the system comprising:

(a) at least three receiver/transmitters at known positions on the building site;
(b) a portable device including a transceiver/transponder using a long-range wireless communication protocol technology to communicate with the three receiver/transmitters for determining a precise position of the portable device using an angle-of-arrival or time-of-arrival wherein the long-range wireless communication protocol technology includes at least one sensor or data bank connected to at least one of the receiver/transmitters;
(c) an application on the portable device;
(d) the application comprising functionality for starting the application;
(e) at least one feature option provided to a user of the application, the at least one feature option including at least one option that uses the precise position;
(f) the application comprising functionality for acting upon at least one feature action on behalf of the user the at least one feature action including at least one action that uses the at least one feature option;
(g) the application comprising functionality for interacting with a 3D end point on the basis of the at least one feature action;
(h) the at least one sensor or data bank comprising functionality for transmitting information on the building site to the portable device, the information selected from the group consisting of room temperature, concrete hardness, humidity, how many people carne into a room, and photo of a room;
and
(i) the application comprising functionality for providing a final output that results from the interaction with the 3D end point;
where the final output identifies a precise position of building information.
