VOTING BASED PROXIMITY DETECTION AND RANGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240020640 titled 'VOTING BASED PROXIMITY DETECTION AND RANGING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for proximity detection and ranging with neighboring devices. The method involves a processor of a first tag identifying a second tag from a group of tags within a predefined range. The processor then initiates the transmission of a packet to the second tag. In response, the processor receives a response packet from the second tag and determines the distance between the first and second tags. If the tag distance is less than a predefined distance, an alarm or notification is generated to indicate that the predefined distance has been crossed.
- The method involves identifying neighboring devices within a predefined range.
- It includes the transmission of packets between the first and second tags.
- The distance between the tags is determined based on the received response packet.
- An alarm or notification is generated if the tag distance is less than a predefined distance.
Potential Applications:
- Proximity detection and ranging in various industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare.
- Asset tracking and management systems.
- Security systems for detecting unauthorized access or intrusion.
Problems Solved:
- Enables efficient and accurate proximity detection between devices.
- Provides a method for determining the distance between neighboring devices.
- Allows for the identification of devices within a predefined range.
Benefits:
- Improved safety and security by detecting when predefined distances are crossed.
- Enhanced asset tracking and management capabilities.
- Enables automation and optimization of processes in various industries.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for proximity detection and ranging with neighboring devices is described here. the method includes identifying, by a processor of a first tag, a second tag from a group of tags within a predefined range of the first tag. the method further comprises initiating, by the processor, transmission of a packet to the second tag in the group of tags identified within the predefined range. the method further comprises, in response to the transmission of the packet, receiving, by the processor, a response packet from the second tag. the method includes in response to receiving the response packet, determining a tag distance between the first tag and second tag. the method includes determining that the tag distance associated with the second tag is less than a predefined distance, generating, by the processor, an alarm or notification to the first tag indicating that the predefined distance is crossed.
