  • Publication number: 20230028930
    Abstract: A device and method for computing a relative direction to a Target, the device including a single antenna exchanging wireless signals with the Target, where the device moves from an initial position to additional positions, where in both positions the single antenna exchanges signals with the Target and the device measures distance-calculation-enabling properties of the wireless signal, where the device then estimates a distance to the Target based on the measured properties, where the device then computes a change in a distance between the DF electronic device and the Target according to the measured distance-calculation-enabling properties of the wireless signals in the initial position and the additional position, where the device then computes a relative direction of the Target from the DF electronic device's heading based on the change between the calculated distances and an associated changes in position of the DF electronic device.

  • Patent number: 10422851
    Abstract: Aspects described herein provide a method for generating a directional context for measured environmental condition values. A Target device may measure at least one environmental parameter using at least one Environmental Sensor in the Target. The Target may communicate wirelessly with a Looker device to transmit the measured environmental data. The Looker device may determine a relative location of the Target versus a location of the Looker device and associate the environmental data with the relative location. The Looker device may generate a directional indication according to the received environmental data, where the directional indication associates the Target's relative location with the received environmental data.
