Patent ID: 8754767

Claim:
A geographic localization system comprising: positioning means for calculating the approximate position of a geographic localization device; means for connecting to at least one data channel; location inference means receiving communication information about at least one data channel from the means for connecting to at least one data channel and inferring the location of the geographic localization system; location resolution means, i) receiving location information from at least one of the following sources: from the location inference means, from the positioning means, and from the at least one data channel. and ii) obtaining the best location information from said received location information; transmission control means for controlling the transmission of data to and from the geographic localization system by means of the at least one data channel; and power supply means, wherein the means for connecting to the at least one data channel provides at least: a Bluetooth network connection, a WiFi network connection, transceiver means comprising a Zigbee, ASK/OOK, or proprietary transceiver module, means for connecting to cellular networks comprising a cellular data module, said means for connecting to a cellular network capable of calculating an approximate location coordinate based on proprietary algorithms using a data signal and timing and other characteristics intrinsic to each particular network which are processed in the cellular data module to be available to the geographic positioning device, and means for connecting to a satellite or to satellite networks comprising a satellite up/down link for sending and receiving information to and from a satellite or network of satellites to allow concentration of information on a main server as well as propagating information from a server connected to the geographic localization system to other devices around the world.
