Title: Identification based on a location of a mobile communications device
Inventor: ANTHONY TIMSON
IPC: G08G1/017
Filed: 2021-06-07
Abstract: A system and method for identifying a person or vehicle 102 associated with a mobile communications device 104 (for example a mobile phone). A transmitter transmits 106 a beacon signal that is received by the mobile communications device. The mobile device transmits measurement reports via a base station system 107 to a timer device 116, which calculates a time at which an image should be captured based on when the peak beacon signal strength is measured. A camera 118 captures an image at the calculated capture time. The timer device may maintain a dedicated communication channel with the mobile device, and thereby receive multiple measurement reports. The capture time may be calculated when a first report indicates that the received signal strength of the beacon strength is lower than a previous measurement, indicating that the peak signal strength has passed. A stream of images of the target may be captured and the timing device may retrospectively identify an image captured at the capture time based on the image timestamps and the peak signal strength time. The system may be used for automatic number plate recognition (ANPR).
