System and Method for Determining and Maintaining Object Location and Status

An asset information management system for obtaining and storing information on assets disposed within a structural environment, the system comprising:

• at least one mobile interface device configured for variable disposition within the structural environment and for capturing information about a target object disposed within the structural environment and for transmitting the target object information over a network;
• a local positioning system in communication with the at least one mobile interface device via the network and configured to provide information usable to determine a mobile device pose, said mobile device pose comprising a position and orientation of the mobile interface device relative to the structural environment;
• a central processor in communication with the at least one mobile interface device and the local positioning system via the network and having an information management operating system operating thereon, the information management operating system being configured for receiving and processing the target object information;
• a domain coordinate management system comprising one or more computers configured for establishing and maintaining spatial addresses for spaces and points within the structural environment;
• an asset log comprising one or more data storage modules configured for storing information associated with objects disposed within the structural environment;
• and
• a spatial indexing engine in communication with the domain coordinate management system, the asset log and the central processor, the spatial indexing engine being configured for assigning a spatial address to the target object and for storing information associated with the target object in the asset log.
