  • Patent number: 9756479
    Abstract: A system and method for calibrating the location and orientation of an electronic device, including an electronic data device having a processor, permanent memory, temporary memory, program loading means, a visual display and display subsystem, user input devices, a motion detection subsystem, an orientation detection subsystem, and a geolocation subsystem. The electronic device is programmed with instructions that, when executed, cause the electronic device to visually display a virtual representation of a user-selected physical space on the electronic visual display and to display a position indicator corresponding to an initial location and orientation of the electronic data device in the user-selected physical space, and thereafter to adjust and correct the location according to either user manual inputs or movement of the electronic data device in the physical space.

  • Publication number: 20160258778
    Abstract: A sensor position system that includes a portable programmable electronic device having a visual display screen and at least one motion sensor; and an executable sensor position system program loaded onto said electronic device, said program including executable instructions which visually display a two- or three-dimensional virtual representation of a user-selected physical space on the electronic visual display, enable a user to mark an initial reference point in the displayed virtual representation of the physical space, receive a data signal from said at least one motion sensor, evaluate the data signal from said at least one motion sensor so as to distinguish walking and running movements from other movements.

  • Publication number: 20150355822
    Abstract: An electronic data device programmed with a position and orientation calibration and adjustment program to visually display a two- or three-dimensional virtual representation of a user-selected physical space on the electronic visual display and to display a position indicator corresponding to an estimated initial location and orientation of the electronic data device in the user-selected physical space, and thereafter when a user makes a manual adjustment to the indicated location, the program causes the electronic data device to automatically adjust and correct the indicated location.

  • Publication number: 20150269134
    Abstract: A system and method for creating a location tag and attaching and linking multiple attributes to that tag, including such attributes as digital audio files, video files, text and photographs, thereby facilitating subsequent finding of the location in an electronic document or display. In this way, the same or a different user can proceed directly to a location of interest to view and inspect the features identified in the linked attributes.

  • Publication number: 20150260544
    Abstract: A system for calibrating physical position and orientation of an electronic device, including an electronic data device with core processor, permanent memory for storing a program, temporary memory for running a program, an electronic visual display, a display subsystem, a user input device, a motion detection subsystem, and an orientation detection subsystem; and a program with instructions that, when executed by the core processor, cause the electronic data device to visually display a two- or three-dimensional virtual representation of a user-selected physical space on the electronic visual display and to display a prompt for a user to mark initial calibration points in the displayed virtual representation of the physical space, wherein after a user marks at least one calibration point, the program causes the electronic data device to adjust and update the location and orientation of the electronic data device as it is moved within the physical space.
