Abstract
A method by which the position of a display panel or of a vehicle can be determined by broadcasting a message from a beacon associated with the display panel or the vehicle, receiving the broadcast message at a consumer device, determining the position of the consumer device when the message is received, and taking that position to be the position of the display panel or of the vehicle. If this is done with multiple messages and/or multiple consumer devices the position of the display panel or of the vehicle can be determined as a function of time.
