IDENTIFICATION OF WEARABLE DEVICE LOCATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240230830 titled 'IDENTIFICATION OF WEARABLE DEVICE LOCATIONS

The abstract of the patent application describes a wearable device that includes an imaging component, at least one wireless communication component, and a controller. The controller activates the wireless communication component to perform a wireless scan of at least one radio available, receives wireless scan data, and embeds the data as part of media metadata. The wireless scan data is used to determine the location estimate of the wearable device and geotag media captured by the device without using a GPS receiver.

Imaging component, wireless communication component, and controller included in the wearable device
Controller activates wireless communication component for wireless scan of available radios
Receives wireless scan data and embeds it as part of media metadata
Data used to determine location estimate of wearable device and geotag media without GPS receiver

Potential Applications: - Location-based services - Geotagging of media - Asset tracking

Problems Solved: - Providing location data without GPS receiver - Efficiently geotagging media

Benefits: - Enhanced location tracking - Improved media organization - Reduced reliance on GPS

Commercial Applications: Title: Location-Based Wearable Technology for Media Geotagging This technology can be used in wearable cameras, fitness trackers, and other devices that require location tracking for media organization and geotagging purposes. It can benefit industries such as photography, sports, and security.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the wearable device determine the location estimate without a GPS receiver? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns related to embedding wireless scan data in media metadata?

Original Abstract Submitted

according to examples, a wearable device may include an imaging component, at least one wireless communication component, and a controller. the controller may activate the at least one wireless communication component to perform a wireless scan of at least one radio available to respond to the wireless scan. the controller may also receive, through the at least one wireless communication component, wireless scan data from the at least one radio and may embed the wireless scan data as part of a media metadata. the wireless scan data may be used to determine a location estimate of the at least one radio and thus, the wearable device. the location estimate of the wearable device may also be used to geotag media captured by the wearable device without using a gps receiver on the wearable device or when a gps receiver is unable to track a current location.
