Abstract
The present invention relates to receiving information of detected wireless electronic tags, comparing the received information to information stored in the server, and updating the information stored in the server based on the received information. Further, the invention relates to receiving a request regarding location information of an electronic wireless tag, determining whether identification information regarding the electronic wireless tag is available, and transmitting the identification information regarding the electronic wireless tag in response to the request regarding location information after determining that the identification information is available.
Claims20
A location tracking method, the method comprising:
- receiving, by at least one server, a first list of identification information and a first list of location information corresponding to a first set of a plurality of detected wireless electronic tags detected by a first device, the first set of the plurality of detected wireless electronic tags being within a detectable zone of the first device;
- comparing, by the at least one server, a second list of identification information of a second set of a plurality of electronic wireless tags and the first list of identification information of the first set of the plurality of detected wireless electronic tags and updating a second list of location information corresponding to the second set of the plurality of electronic wireless tags based on the first list of identification information and the first list of location information of the first set of the plurality of detected wireless electronic tags;
- receiving, at the at least one server, a request from a second device regarding a first location information of a first electronic wireless tag having a first identification information;
- determining, at the least one server, whether the first identification information is included in the second list of identification information;
- and
- transmitting, from the at least one server to the second device based on said determining that the first identification information is included in the second list of identification information, the first location information of the first electronic wireless tag.
