Patent number: 11657915Abstract: An asset tracking system may include a bridge device that wirelessly receives beacon data from one or several beacons that are disposed at respective devices, equipment, furniture, people, and the like. The bridge device may send the beacon data to a server via a communication network. The server may analyze the beacon data, such that the locations of people or objects may be estimated and monitored, and/or sensor data corresponding to measurable attributes of people or objects may be accumulated and monitored. The location of the bridge device may be estimated using signal strength measurements of beacon signals received from room beacons in combination with corresponding room identifiers. Alerts may be sent by the server to a user device responsive to the server determining that a person or object is in an unauthorized location and/or that a value of monitored sensor data exceeds a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2022Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: PHOENIX CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, INCInventor: David Higginson
