Abstract:
1. A method for displaying radio frequency (RF) coverage information, comprising: obtaining formatting data for displaying the radio frequency coverage information on a client device, the formatting data executed on the client device including a display, processor, communication port and memory; receiving first radio frequency coverage raw data at the client from a server, the first radio frequency coverage raw data utilized by the processor using the formatting data to construct an overall radio frequency coverage representation of a site, wherein the first radio frequency coverage raw data comprises measured signal strength information received from one or more subscriber radio frequency devices; subject to a subsequent request from the client device about a specific portion of the wireless environment, receiving from the server second radio frequency coverage raw data of measured signal strength information received from one or more radio frequency devices and representative of radio frequency coverage for that portion of the site, the second radio frequency coverage raw data utilized by the processor using the formatting data on a supplemental basis to update the overall radio frequency coverage representation, wherein the second radio frequency coverage raw data comprises updated signal strength information received from one or more radio frequency devices for the portion of the site, wherein the location of the one or more radio frequency devices is determined and provided by the server along with the second radio frequency coverage raw data, and wherein the signal strength and associated location information are used to update a representation of the wireless environment at that portion of the site; and displaying an indicator on the client device display reflecting the radio frequency coverage for the portion of the site, wherein the indicator is a scalable vector graphic (SVG) compliant with an Asynchronous JavaScript and extensible markup language (XML) specification.
