ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18522113 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application abstract describes a system for locating a specific apparatus among multiple apparatuses installed in an area. The system includes a storage portion, communication portion, estimation portion, and display control portion to facilitate this process.
- The system includes a storage portion for storing installation information that indicates the relationship between position information of installation apparatuses and communication apparatuses associated with them.
- A communication portion receives advertising signals from communication apparatuses in the installation area.
- An estimation portion estimates the relative position between a device body and the installation apparatus associated with the communication apparatus based on identification information and installation information.
- A display control portion displays the estimated relative position information on a display, allowing users to identify the location of the device body relative to the installation apparatus.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare for locating specific equipment or devices within a facility.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently locating specific apparatuses among a large number of installations in a given area, saving time and effort in finding the desired equipment.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved efficiency in locating apparatuses, reduced search time, and enhanced organization within a facility.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include inventory management systems, asset tracking solutions, and facility maintenance tools.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be RFID tracking systems used in warehouses or hospitals to locate equipment or assets within a facility.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the system handle interference or signal loss in estimating the relative position between the device body and the installation apparatus? 2. What is the range of communication between the device body and the communication apparatus for accurate positioning estimation?
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure assists in searching for a specific apparatus among a plurality of apparatuses installed in an installation area. The electronic device includes: a storage portion, installation information for indicating a relationship between position information and a communication apparatus, where the position information is position information of a plurality of installation apparatuses installed in an installation area, and the communication apparatus is associated with the installation apparatus; a communication portion configured to receive an advertising signal transmitted by the communication apparatus installed in the installation area; an estimation portion configured to estimate a relative position between a device body and the installation apparatus associated with the communication apparatus based on identification information of the communication apparatus and the installation information included in a received advertising signal; and a display control portion configured to display causes relative position information on a display portion, and the relative position information is capable of identifying the estimated relative position between the device body and the installation apparatus.
