Method and system for tracking equipment employing RF-ID technology

A method for determining a location of at least one transducer having at least one uniquely identifiable characteristic, the at least one transducer is located within one of a plurality of known areas, the areas including first sensors distributed within said plurality of known areas and second sensors located between adjacent areas of said plurality of known areas, said method comprising acts of:

• requesting information for locating a first transducer,
• receiving the information from the plurality of first and second sensors, said information including said uniquely identifiable characteristic and signal strength of the first transducer;
• associating said received information based on said identification characteristic;
• and
• determining a known area of said first transducer location by correlating a relative magnitude of the signal strength received from the first transducer on each of said first and second sensors.

A computer-readable medium comprising a program of instructions for executing a method for determining a location of at least one transducer having at least one uniquely identifiable characteristic, wherein the at least one transducer is located within one of a plurality of known areas, the areas including first sensors distributed within said plurality of known areas and second sensors located between adjacent areas of said plurality of known areas, said method comprising acts of:

• requesting information for locating a first transducer,
• receiving the information from the plurality of first and second sensors, said information including said unique identification characteristic and signal strength of the first transducer;
• associating said received information based on said transducer identification;
• and
• determining a known area of the first transducer location by correlating a relative magnitude of the signal strength received from the first transducer on each of said first and second sensors.
