Abstract
A method for managing a moving entity may include forming an outer zone including a building, forming an inner zone within the outer zone, monitoring a signal from the moving entity, the signal including an identity of the moving entity and a signal strength, monitoring a location of the moving entity, and correcting the moving entity based on the signal strength, the identity, and a location of the moving entity relative to the outer and inner zones and the building.
Claims22
A method for managing a moving entity, comprising:
- forming an outer zone including a building;
- forming an inner zone within the outer zone;
- monitoring a signal from the moving entity, the signal comprising an identity of the moving entity and a signal strength;
- monitoring a location of the moving entity;
- and
- correcting the moving entity based on the signal strength, the identity, and a location of the moving entity relative to the outer and inner zones and the building.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a first device associated with a moving entity, comprising:
- a first memory device, configured to store an identity associated with the first device, boundaries of an outer zone, boundaries of an inner zone within the outer zone, and boundaries of a building within the outer zone;
- a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, configured to produce current coordinates of the first device;
- a first Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver;
- and
- a first processor, coupled to the first memory device, the GNSS receiver, and the RF transceiver, configured to transmit notifications through the RF transceiver in response to the first device crosses one or more boundaries of the outer zone, the inner zone, or the building, the notifications including the identity, a location of the first device, and an indication of the one or more boundaries crossed;
- a second device associated with the building, comprising:
- a second memory device;
- a second RF transceiver, configured to receive the notifications from the first RF transceiver;
- and
- a second processor, coupled to the second memory device and the second RF transceiver, configured to:
- determine a signal strength of the notifications;
- extract the identity, the location, and the indication of the one or more boundaries crossed from the notifications;
- and
- correct the moving entity based on the signal strength, the identity, the location, and the indication of the one or more boundaries crossed.
