Abstract
Disclosed are a system and method for managing a shared personal mobility device (SPM) capable of acquiring accurate location information of the SPM. The system for managing the SPM may include a dock configured to store SPMs, and an SPM management server configured to receive, from the dock and using an LPWA protocol, state information associated with the doc. The state information may include coordinates of the dock. The SPM management server may be further configured to receive location information associated with a returned SPM, and update, based on the coordinates of the dock, the location information associated with the returned SPM.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a dock configured to store one or more shared personal mobility devices (SPMs);
- and
- an SPM management server configured to:
- receive, from the dock using a low power wide area (LPWA) communication protocol, state information associated with the dock, wherein the state information comprises coordinates of the dock;
- receive, from an SPM operator server, location information associated with a returned SPM;
- compare the state information of the dock and the location information associated with the returned SPM;
- and
- update, based on the coordinates of the dock, the location information associated with the returned SPM in a database connected to the SPM operator server.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a shared personal mobility device (SPM) management server, sensor information from a dock storing one or more shared personal mobility devices (SPMs), wherein the sensor information comprises coordinates of the dock;
- receiving, by the SPM management server from an SPM operator server, location information associated with a returned SPM;
- comparing the sensor information of the dock and the location information associated with the returned SPM;
- and
- updating, by the SPM management server and based on the coordinates of the dock, the location information associated with the returned SPM in a database connected to the SPM operator server.
