  • Patent number: 10609762
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media are disclosed for improving, in some examples, backhaul of sensor and other data to a real time location system (RTLS) network. In the context of a method for communication by a tag, the method includes receiving, at the tag, sensor data from at least one sensor, generating, using a processor of the tag, a tag blink data packet, the tag blink data packet including a tag identifier and at least a portion of the received sensor data, and transmitting the tag blink data packet.

  • Patent number: 10218399
    Abstract: Systems and related methods providing for determining activities of individuals are discussed herein. Circuitry may be configured to wirelessly receive tag signals from a plurality of RF location tags. Two or more of the RF location tags may be positioned on an individual, such as at positions that may at least partially define a human frame. The circuitry may be configured to correlate the two or more RF location tags with the individual. Location data for each of the two or more RF location tags may be determined based on the received tag signals. An activity of the individual may be determined based on the location data. In some embodiments, one or more activities involving multiple individuals may be determined based on RF location tags and sensors positioned on each of the multiple individuals. Furthermore, sensor data from the sensors may be communicated over the UWB channel.

  • Publication number: 20150149837
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for collecting sporting event data based on real time data for proximity and movement of objects. In the context of a method, the method includes calculating a tag data filter parameter for a plurality of tag events based on received tag blink data and tag location data, wherein the tag data filter parameter comprises a blink period, distance span, or velocity, calculating a participant location data adjustment factor based on the tag data filter parameter, and calculating multidimensional player location information per unit time based on the plurality of tag events and the participant location adjustment factor.

  • Publication number: 20140365415
    Abstract: A method for predicting a criteria of interest based upon tag location data, derived tag location data, statistical data or the like corresponding to an object. The method may include receiving an input that defines one or more objects and one or more criteria of interest. Further, the method may include accessing tag location data, derived tag location data or the like for the object. The method may also include generating a prediction for a criteria of interest for at least one of the one or more criteria of interest for at least one of the one or more objects, wherein the a prediction for a criteria of interest is generated based on at least one of tag location data, derived tag location data or the like for the one or more objects related to the one or more criteria of interest.
