A method for registering an unregistered radio frequency (RF) location tag carried by a participant, the method comprising:
- receiving blink data from an unregistered RF location tag;
- determining a tag location based on the blink data received from the unregistered RF location tag;
- directing a camera to view the tag location determined based on the blink data received from the unregistered RF location tag;
- identifying a participant at the tag location using image data obtained by the camera;
- and
- registering the unregistered RF location tag with the identified participant.
An apparatus for registering an unregistered radio frequency (RF) location tag carried by a participant, the apparatus comprising a processor coupled to memory, the memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the apparatus, configure the apparatus to:
- determine a tag location based on blink data received from an unregistered RF location tag;
- direct a camera to view the tag location determined based on the blink data received from the unregistered RF location tag;
- identify a participant at the tag location using image data obtained by the camera;
- and
- register the unregistered RF location tag with the identified participant.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage device for registering an unregistered radio frequency (RF) location tag carried by a participant, the computer readable storage device including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a machine to:
- determine a tag location based on blink data received from an unregistered RF location tag;
- direct a camera to view the tag location determined based on the blink data received from the unregistered RF location tag;
- identify a participant at the tag location using image data obtained by the camera;
- and
- register the unregistered RF location tag with the identified participant.
