Abstract:
A system and method for determining and tracking a location of a participant traveling along a route wherein the participant being tracked with an RFID tag using an RFID tag reader and a timing system, the system includes a location device associated with the RFID tag and has a location data receiver for receiving location information from a location providing source, and a wireless communication interface and time stamps each received location information, and transmits tag location data over the wireless interface, and a location detection device that is in wireless communication with the location device receives the transmitted tag location data, and transmits the received location data to the timing system, with the timing system associating the received location data with the RFID tag number as provided by the RFID tag reader provided tag reads of the RFID tag associated with the location device.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for determining and tracking a location of a participant traveling along a route wherein the participant being tracked with a RFID tag during an event using a timing system communicatively coupled to an RFID tag reader system, the tag reader system configured to be located at a fixed location in proximity to the route at a first monitored location point for receiving one or more tag reads from the RFID tag as the tracked participant with the RFID tag travels in proximity to said location along the route, and configured for determining a time for each tag read, identifying the tag number of the RFID tag, and transmitting a tag read message including at least a portion of the received tag reads with the RFID tag number and the determined tag read time, the timing system configured for receiving and storing the transmitted tag read message including the tag number and the determined tag read times as transmitted by the tag reader system, the tag reader system configured for receiving one or more RFID tag reads from the RFID tag as the tracked participant with the RFID tag travels the route, determining a time for each tag read, identifying the tag number of the RFID tag, and transmitting a tag read message including at least a portion of the received tag reads with the tag number and the determined times, the timing system configured for receiving the tag read messages as transmitted by the tag reader system and storing the tag read message including the tag number from the tag reader system, the method for use with location device that is configured to be associated with the RFID tag of the participant and configured for:\n receiving a plurality of location data from a location providing source; time stamping each received location data; and transmitting location data including the time stamps for each the method comprising: in a location detection device configured to be located at a fixed location in proximity to the route and in wireless communication with the location device:\n receiving the transmitted location data; and \n transmitting the received location data to the timing system; \n in the timing system:\n receiving the location data including the plurality of location data and time stamps; \n associating the location data with the RFID tag number as provided by the RFID tag reader system from at least one of the tag reads from the tag associated with the location device; \n determining a plurality of tracked locations of the participant along the route of the event as a function of the plurality of location data and time stamps provided by the location information that is associated with the at least one tag read number for the participant \n storing the plurality of location data associated with the RFID tag number.
