DEVICE TRACKING DETECTION METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17925402 titled 'DEVICE TRACKING DETECTION METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for tracking devices using Bluetooth signals, where the location information of a device is recorded based on the signals received.

  • The method involves detecting a Bluetooth signal from a peripheral device near the electronic device.
  • The recorded trajectory information includes the location of the electronic device when the Bluetooth signal is received, as well as its location within a certain duration.
  • The method determines if the electronic device is moving at a speed greater than a preset threshold, based on which additional location information is recorded.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used for:

  • Asset tracking
  • Location-based services
  • Security systems

Problems Solved

  • Tracking devices in real-time
  • Monitoring device movement and location
  • Enhancing security measures

Benefits

  • Improved device tracking accuracy
  • Efficient monitoring of device locations
  • Enhanced security features

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Logistics and supply chain management
  • Smart home automation systems
  • Fleet tracking services

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be GPS tracking systems that are commonly used for monitoring device locations.

Unanswered Questions

How does the method handle multiple Bluetooth signals from different devices in close proximity?

The patent application does not provide details on how the method distinguishes between multiple Bluetooth signals in close proximity.

What are the limitations of using Bluetooth signals for device tracking?

The patent application does not discuss any potential limitations or challenges associated with using Bluetooth signals for device tracking.


Original Abstract Submitted

This application provides a device tracking detection method and an electronic device, and is related to the field of terminal technologies. Because when the first electronic device receives a first Bluetooth signal based on a first signal filter, it implies that a first Bluetooth peripheral is near the first electronic device; and because the first Bluetooth peripheral broadcasts the first Bluetooth signal only once every other second duration, it also implies that the first Bluetooth peripheral may be near the first electronic device within the second duration during which the first Bluetooth signal is received based on the first signal filter. Therefore, when a moving speed is greater than a preset speed threshold, recorded trajectory information of the first Bluetooth peripheral includes not only location information of the first electronic device when receiving the first Bluetooth signal, but also location information of the first electronic device within the second duration.
