Systems and Methods for Collaborative Location Tracking and Sharing Using Augmented Reality - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233283 titled 'Systems and Methods for Collaborative Location Tracking and Sharing Using Augmented Reality

The patent application describes a location tracking system that uses augmented reality to precisely locate a target device with a recipient device.

  • The recipient device receives the first position of the target device over a data network.
  • The recipient device is moved according to the first position until the target device is in ultra-wideband (UWB) signaling range.
  • The recipient device measures the distance and direction of the target device based on time-of-flight (TOF) measurements generated from the UWB signaling.
  • The recipient device determines the second position of the target device and generates an augmented reality view with a visual reference at that position in images of a captured scene.

Potential Applications: - Navigation assistance in indoor environments - Location-based gaming experiences - Asset tracking in warehouses or industrial settings

Problems Solved: - Precise location tracking in challenging environments - Enhanced user experience through augmented reality integration

Benefits: - Improved accuracy in locating target devices - Real-time tracking capabilities - Enhanced user interaction through augmented reality features

Commercial Applications: Title: "Augmented Reality Location Tracking System for Enhanced Navigation" This technology could be used in indoor navigation systems for shopping malls, airports, or museums, as well as in location-based gaming applications.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system ensure accurate distance and direction measurements between the target and recipient devices? 2. What are the potential privacy concerns associated with using this location tracking system?


Original Abstract Submitted

disclosed is a location tracking system and associated methods for precisely locating a target device with a recipient device via different forms of location tracking and augmented reality. the recipient device receives a first position of the target device over a data network. the recipient device is moved according to the first position until the target device is in ultra-wideband (“uwb”) signaling range of the recipient device. the recipient device then measures a distance and direction of the target device relative to the recipient device based on time-of-flight (“tof”) measurements generated from the uwb signaling. the recipient device determines a second position of the target device based on the distance and direction of the target device, and generates an augmented reality view with a visual reference at a particular position in images of a captured scene that corresponds to the second position of the target device.
