Abstract
A method for managing transmission of a location of a first geo-tag capable of communicating with a second geo-tag, the tags being classified in several respective categories, the first tag being associated with a first category. The method includes implementing following steps in the first tag: a. detecting a proximity between the first geo-tag and the second geo-tag; b. obtaining the category associated with the second tag; c. transmitting, to the second tag, a request to transfer management of the transmission of the location of the first tag, if the obtained category belongs to a second tag category.
Claims7
A method comprising:
- managing transmission of a location of a first geo-tag, which is able to communicate with a second geo-tag, depending on a proximity between the first and second geo-tags, the first and second geo-tags being classified into a plurality of respective tag categories, the first geo-tag being associated with a first tag category, the managing being implemented in the first geo-tag and comprising:
- obtaining the tag category associated with the second geo-tag;
- detecting whether the first geo-tag is proximate the second geo-tag;
- and
- in response to detecting proximity between the fist geo-tag and the second geo-tag and if the obtained tag category belongs to a second tag category:
- transmitting, to the second geo-tag, a request to transfer the management of the transmission of the location of the first geo-tag;
- otherwise, the first geo-tag transmitting the location to a server.
A management entity for managing transmission of a location of a first geo-tag, which is able to communicate with a second geo-tag, depending on a proximity between the first and second geo-tags, the first and second geo-tags being classified into a plurality of respective categories, the first geo-tag being associated with a first tag category, the management entity comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon which when executed by the processor configure the management entity to:
- obtain the tag category associated with the second geo-tag;
- detect whether the first geo-tag is proximate the second geo-tag;
- and
- in response to detecting proximity between the fist geo-tag and the second geo-tag and if the obtained tag category belongs to a second tag category:
- transmit, to the second geo-tag, a request to transfer the management of the transmission of the location of the first geo-tag;
- otherwise, the first geo-tag transmitting the location to a server.
A non-transitory computer-readable data medium storing at least one series of program code instructions for executing a method for managing transmission of a location of a first geo-tag, which is able to communicate with a second geo-tag, depending on a proximity between the first and second geo-tags, when the instructions are executed by a processor of the first geo-tag, the first and second geo-tags being classified into a plurality of respective categories, the first geo-tag being associated with a first tag category, the method comprising:
- obtaining the tag category associated with the second geo-tag;
- detecting whether the first geo-tag is proximate the second geo-tag;
- and
- in response to detecting proximity between the fist geo-tag and the second geo-tag and if the obtained tag category belongs to a second tag category:
- transmitting, to the second geo-tag, a request to transfer the management of the transmission of the location of the first geo-tag;
- otherwise, the first geo-tag transmitting the location to a server.
