    摘要: Methods and apparatus for improving the provision of a procedure based upon automated determination of a location of agents and equipment during a procedure and quantifying conditions in an environment via automated sensors. The present invention provides apparatus and methods for wireless designation of a position of health care providers and equipment relative to each other based upon wireless communications amongst multiple wireless transceivers combined with ongoing monitoring of conditions present in a facility. The transceivers may be portions of nodes and nodes may form self-verifying arrays. A user interface may provide a augmented reality view of positions of all or some the providers and equipment and condition quantifying sensors.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for determining information about an item of equipment in a direction of interest based upon coordinates derived from wireless communication between wireless transceivers. A smart device assembly is operative to communicate via multiple antennas with a reference point transceiver. A set of coordinates is generated indicating a relative position and/or angle of the wireless transceiver in relation to the reference position transceiver. A query may be made based upon the relative position and angle of the wireless transceiver in relation to the reference position transceiver. A response to the query may include a human readable interface indicating one or more of: direction of travel, a virtual image based upon location and location and direction, and annotative and pictorial information.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for presenting data to a user with augmented reality headgear or augmented reality glasses that has been oriented in a direction based upon unique automated generation of a vector are described. Systems for determining a direction of interest are based upon orientation of an apparatus. Data collection systems such as cameras, stereoscopic cameras, and scanner systems may be included in the augmented reality gear. In combination with a geospatial position, the direction of interest may be referenced in the provision of content via a user interface displayed in a worn augmented reality gear of the user at the site of interest. Updating of model data may be coordinated through the interface of an oriented augmented reality headgear with data collection systems.

    摘要: Apparatus for electronically quantifying conditions of a person and an environment containing the person, as well as a sequence of positions occupied by the person and a direction the person faced at those positions. Wireless communications track a series of positions over time and provide user interfaces indicating where a person has been and who the person has come within a minimum distance of. Sensors may be operative to provide ongoing evaluation of a condition of the person, such as a body temperature and heartrate which may trigger an alarm state if the body temperature rises above a specified value. Electronic sensors may also be quantify environmental conditions over time and present the conditions in the user interface.
