Abstract
In embodiments, a method of detecting a transmitting device within an obstruction rich environment is disclosed. The method may involve detecting the transmitting device with a wireless transmission detection facility; communicating signal information relating to the detected transmitting device from the wireless transmission detection facility to a central unit; determining the location of the transmitting device; displaying information of the detection and location of the transmitting device through a user interface; and providing an action facility for causing actions related to the detected transmitting device.
Claims15
A method of detecting a transmitting device within an obstruction rich environment comprising:
- detecting a transmission signal from the transmitting device with at least one wireless transmission detection facility;
- determining a signal type of the detected transmission signal by determining a wave shape of the detected transmission signal, wherein a signal strength of said detected transmission signal is greater than a known threshold value for a predetermined period of time, said predetermined period of time being less than an expected shortest period of time for a corresponding signal type,
- providing a unique identifier and time code as an identification of said signal;
- communicating signal information relating to the detected transmitting device from the wireless transmission detection facility to a central unit, said signal information including said identification;
- determining a location of the transmitting device based on detection of said signal from at least one wireless transmission detection facility;
- displaying information of the detection and location of the transmitting device through a user interface;
- and
- providing information regarding the detected transmitting device to an action facility for causing actions related to the detected transmitting device.
