Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to a real-time location system (RTLS) having tags, bridges, bay-level event sensors and a location engine. To determine which bay a tag is in, bay-level event sensors sense motion events in the bay, transmit the motion event reports to a location engine, and/or tags. Tags contain an accelerometer, to sense motion of the tags. A series of location-engine steps estimates the bay-level-location of the tags based on a combination of received signal-strength analysis, and a comparison of tag-motion status to the perceived motion events in a bay. The analysis of tag-motion status and motion-in-bay events produces a better estimate of bay-level location of the tag than a received-signal-strength estimate can produce alone.

Claim (Index 1):
A real-time location system (RTLS) having tags, bay-level event sensors, bridges, and a location server for providing people and asset-tag locating, comprising:\n at least one tag which transmits a report of its motion status as sensed by its accelerometer; at least one bay-level event sensor, which transmits a report of motion events that occur in a bay to a location engine; at least one bridge for receiving reports from at least one tag and measuring at least one characteristic of the received transmissions, including received signal strength, and forwarding those reports to a central server, and which also receives transmissions of reports from at least one bay-level event sensors, which report motion events that occur in a bay; and a location engine utilizing a both received-signal-strength information and bay-level motion-sensing information for determining bay-level location of the at least one tag.
