  • Tracking asset computing devices
    Patent number: 9641217
    Abstract: One or more processors send a signal from a first computing device to a second computing device through a hardwire connection. One or more processors determine a change between the signal as sent by the first computing device and the signal as received by the second computing device. The change is caused, at least in part, by the distance the signal travels. One or more processors determine a geo-location of the second computing device based, at least in part, on the change.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 14, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 2, 2017
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Alessio M. D'Amico, Fausto Ribechini, Patrizio Trinchini, Massimo Villani
