Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A

Claim 0:
1. A local positioning system comprising:
a plurality of anchors placed within a facility, the anchors intended to be left in position following calibration;
a plurality of calibration tags, placed at predetermined positions relative to a space having parameters of known dimensions within the facility;
a calibration server for:
instructing the plurality of anchors and the plurality of calibration tags to engage in a calibration procedure reliant upon ultrawide band communications;
using the predetermined positions of the plurality of movable tags to determine a placement of each of the plurality of anchors; and
storing the placement of each of the plurality of anchors, thereby completing the calibration procedure, to enable tracking movement of a subsequent set of movable tags within the facility,

wherein the calibration server is further for:
instructing the plurality of anchors and the plurality of calibration tags to engage in a recalibration procedure;
using the predetermined positions of the plurality of calibration tags to determine an updated placement of each of the plurality of anchors; and
storing the updated placement of each of the plurality of anchors, thereby completing the recalibration procedure, to enable tracking movement of the subsequent set of movable tags within the facility.
