METHOD FOR PROVIDING LOCATION CONFIRMATION SERVICE FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND DEVICE THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18105415 titled 'METHOD FOR PROVIDING LOCATION CONFIRMATION SERVICE FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND DEVICE THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an example electronic device that includes a location measurement circuit, two wireless communication circuits, and at least one processor. The processor is responsible for receiving an advertising packet from an external device, obtaining the location information of the electronic device, transmitting the identification and location information to a server, and broadcasting a second advertising packet with an increased multi-hop count.
- The electronic device has a location measurement circuit, wireless communication circuits, and a processor.
- The processor receives an advertising packet from an external device.
- The advertising packet includes identification information of the external device and a multi-hop count.
- When the multi-hop count is a certain value, the processor obtains the location information of the electronic device.
- The processor then transmits a signal to a server, including the identification and location information.
- The processor also broadcasts a second advertising packet with an increased multi-hop count and the identification information of the external device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Asset tracking: The electronic device can be used to track the location of assets by receiving advertising packets from external devices and transmitting the location information to a server.
- Indoor navigation: By increasing the multi-hop count in the advertising packets, the electronic device can help create a network of devices for indoor navigation purposes.
- Proximity marketing: The identification information in the advertising packets can be used for targeted advertising based on the location of the electronic device.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Location tracking: The electronic device solves the problem of tracking the location of assets or devices by utilizing the advertising packets received from external devices.
- Multi-hop communication: By increasing the multi-hop count in the advertising packets, the electronic device enables multi-hop communication between devices, which can be useful in various applications.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved asset management: The electronic device allows for efficient tracking and management of assets by providing accurate location information.
- Enhanced indoor navigation: The multi-hop communication capability of the electronic device can improve indoor navigation systems by creating a network of devices.
- Targeted advertising: The identification information in the advertising packets enables targeted advertising based on the location of the electronic device.
Original Abstract Submitted
An example electronic device may include a location measurement circuit; a first wireless communication circuit; a second wireless communication circuit; and at least one processor. The at least one processor may: receive a first advertising packet including identification information of a first external device and a multi-hop count; obtain location information of the electronic device when the multi-hop count is a first value; transmit a signal including the identification information and the location information to a server; and broadcast a second advertising packet including the identification information of the first external device and a multi-hop count having a second value increased from the first value.
