摘要:
Indoor locationing using radio frequency based tags includes distributing a plurality of radio frequency based tags at mapped locations within the indoor environment. The radio frequency based tags periodically transmit their identity information in a message. A mobile device in proximity to at least one of the radio frequency based tags receives the message. A location of the mobile device is associating to the mapped location of the radio frequency based tag identified in the received message.
摘要:
An RF switch is provided. The RF switch includes a processor adapted for communication with an external location engine. The processor is configured to receive notification regarding a status of a wireless asset, receive a plurality of input variables associated with the wireless asset, determine whether the wireless asset is associated with the external location engine, and if the wireless asset is associated with the external location engine, query the external location engine for location data associated with the wireless asset.

Methods and systems are provided for determining the location of an RFID reader within an environment having a plurality of RFID tags located therein. One method includes activating a tag via an RFID reader and receiving data from an RFID tag. The method also includes transmitting the data from the reader to an access port and determining the location of the reader based on the data. A system includes an RFID tag configured to transmit data when activated by an RFID reader. Furthermore, the system includes an access port configured to receive the data from the reader and a module configured to receive the data and determine the location of the reader based on the data. One RFID reader includes means for activating an RFID tag including data identifying a location of the tag, means for receiving the data, and means for transmitting the data to an access port.

摘要:
Integrated switch systems and methods for locating ID tags are disclosed. One system includes an application, a plurality of different tag readers in communication with the ID tags, and an integrated switch configured to enable the application to receive tag information from the different tag readers. An integrated switch includes multiple reader adapters, an application adapter, and a virtualization core. The virtualization core is configured to provide a common interface between each tag reader and the application. One method includes receiving a first signal from a first tag reader and receiving a second signal from a second tag reader, the first and second signals having information related to first and second ID tags, respectively. The method also includes normalizing the first and second signals such that the signals are compatible with the application and transmitting an ID tag report based on the normalized first and/or second signal to the application.

Methods and systems are provided for controlling RF reader operations based the location of the RF reader. One method includes determining that the RF reader is located within a zone associated with an access level and enabling or disabling the RF reader based on the access level. A system includes multiple access ports (APs) defining multiple zones including an access level for the RF reader. The system also includes a switch configured to determine a present zone of the mobile RF reader and enabling the RF reader based on the access level of the present zone. Another system includes means for receiving a signal from an access port and means for determining a location of the RF reader based on the signal, the location associated with an access level. The system also includes means for enabling or disabling the RF reader based on the access level.
摘要:
Described are a method and a system for granting and denying network access to a device based on a location of that device. A method includes determining a current location of at least one mobile unit, permitting network access to a wireless network to the mobile unit if a network access policy of the mobile unit is configured to permit network access for the current location, and denying network access to the wireless network to the mobile unit if the network access policy of the mobile unit is configured to restrict network access for the current location. The system includes a processor generating network access policy data for at least one mobile unit, the network access policy data configured to one of permit network access and restrict network access for the at least one mobile unit depending on a location of the at least one mobile unit within an operating environment, a wireless switch providing a wireless network infrastructure, a location determination module calculating a current location of the at least one mobile unit, and a plurality of wireless access points in communication with the wireless switch, wherein each one of the wireless access points one of permits network access and restricts network access to the at least one mobile unit based on the current location and the network access policy data for the at least one mobile unit.
