Patent number: 7053831Abstract: Systems and methods for allowing the location of transmitter to be determined (approximated) without requiring its distance from a receiver to be precisely known. Methods for determining a location of a transmitter without precise distance calculations. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed having the steps of: for a receiver, estimate a first zone a first transmitter is in; for remaining receivers that can receive a given transmitter, each estimate a second zone a first transmitter is in; and determine if there are overlaps in any of the zones. In another embodiment a potential target area is defined wherein the location of a transmitter can estimated.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2004Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Radianse, Inc.Inventors: Michael K. Dempsey, Paul Tessier, Olin Lathrop, Phil Gaudet, Kimberly Donovan
