AUGMENTED DEVICE RETRIEVAL ASSISTANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17529485 titled 'AUGMENTED DEVICE RETRIEVAL ASSISTANCE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a system that assists in retrieving lost or misplaced devices. The system uses augmented device retrieval assistance (ADRA) data structure to track the location and position of devices within a specific timeframe.

  • The system adds identification information of a device to the ADRA data structure.
  • ADRA clients monitor the device's network connection status and time-based position.
  • The ADRA data structure is dynamically updated with the device's location, current position, and timeframe of monitoring.
  • A request for ADRA assistance is received, including the identification of a target device, timeframe, and location.
  • Location images, such as floor plans, are generated.
  • A time-spatial axis is created and sent to an ADRA client, showing location images and the target device's position within those images at specific timeframes.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Device tracking and retrieval in large buildings or campuses.
  • Inventory management in warehouses or storage facilities.
  • Asset tracking in hospitals or other healthcare facilities.
  • Lost and found services in public spaces like airports or shopping malls.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Locating lost or misplaced devices quickly and efficiently.
  • Providing a visual representation of the device's position over time.
  • Streamlining the process of retrieving devices in complex environments.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Saves time and effort in searching for lost devices.
  • Increases the chances of successfully retrieving misplaced devices.
  • Provides a clear visual representation of the device's location and movement.
  • Improves overall efficiency in device tracking and retrieval processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

One or more processors to add identification information of a device to an initialized augmented device retrieval assistance (ADRA) data structure. Received data from ADRA clients monitoring the device within a location includes a network connection status and a time-based position of the device. The ADRA clients dynamically update the ADRA data structure with the location, a current position of the device, and a timeframe of the data from the monitoring by the ADRA clients. A request for ADR assistance is received that includes an identification of a target device, the timeframe, and a location. Location images are generated that include a location layout or floor plan. A time-spatial axis is rendered and sent to an ADRA client and includes location images and target device position within the respective images associated with a specific timeframe on the time-spatial axis.
