c) wherein the 

server determines 

a second identifier 

for identifying the 

at least one 

sending positional 

information device 

based on the 

received first 

identifier and 

retrieves the 

requested at least 

one address 

stored in the 

identified at least 

one sending 

positional 

information 

device.

The SteamVR tracking component of HTC Vive (requesting positional information device) requests 

(from the server) for the user’s location (i.e., at least one address stored), before activating the multiple 

sensors (i.e., second identifier) needs to be added to the user’s account identified by the user login ID 

and password (i.e., the first identifier). Hence, the multiple sensors (i.e., second identifier) is mapped 

to the user’s login ID (i.e., the first identifier) for tracking the real-time location (i.e., at least one address 

stored) of user.
