Patent number: 11716588Abstract: A system for proximity-based analysis of multiple entities includes a first communication device associated with a first entity and an additional communication device associated with an additional entity, wherein the first communication device and the additional communication device are communicatively couplable. The system includes one or more processors communicatively coupled to at least one of the first communication device or the at least an additional communication device. The one or more processors are configured to: identify a spatial relationship between the first entity and the additional entity based on one or more signals from the first communication device or the additional communication device, identify an operation unit defined by an association between the first entity and the additional entity based on the spatial relationship between the first entity and the at least the additional entity, and report one or more characteristics of the operation unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: REALMFIVE, INC.Inventors: Steve R. Tippery, Brant Burkey, Heath Roehr
