Abstract:
A portable-device real-time locating system (RTLS) having portable devices and in-room radio-transmitting beacons. To determine which room a portable device is in, beacons broadcast radio transmissions containing motion-status information about recent history of perceived motion in a room as determined from a motion sensor in the beacon. Portable devices calculate received signal strength indications (RSSI) from nearby beacons, motion-in-room status sensed and reported by those beacons, plus their own motion status based on a portable-device-based accelerometer. A series of portable-device steps estimates the room-location of the portable based on a combination of RSSI analysis, and a comparison of portable-device-motion history to the perceived and recorded motion-status in a room. The analysis of portable-device-motion history and motion-in-room status produces a better estimate of room-level location of the portable device than an RSSI estimate can produce alone.

Claim (Index 14):
The location system as in  claim 10 , further comprising the step of:\n estimating at the at least one portable device its location based upon at least one of current signal strength readings, past signal strength readings, changes in motion status received in the beacon transmission, accelerometer/motion status of the portable device, and beacon transmissions that include the identified floor where the beacon is installed.
