Abstract: A method and system are provided for implementing enhanced network device identifying and labeling via a connected Ethernet cable. A system includes a server having a port connected by the Ethernet cable to a port of a switch. An Ethernet runt packet containing metadata identifying the server name and the port is transmitted on the Ethernet cable by the server. Another Ethernet runt packet containing metadata identifying the switch name and the port is transmitted on the Ethernet cable by the switch. Use of the transmitted metadata of the Ethernet runt packets enables dynamically identifying and labeling the Ethernet cable, the connected server and port and switch and port.

Abstract: The invention involves the usage of radio frequency, infrared, and low frequency radio frequency to accurately track transponders (tags) that are placed on objects. Transponders about the size of a small watch or a badge that can be worn on a lapel or pocket are used. The transponders are attached to staff, assets, and/or patients. Typically, ceiling mounted readers are used. The system utilizes the readers to triangulate the position of the transponders. The transponders can triangulate to a resolution accuracy of a couple of inches to 10 feet within 4 seconds. The system is also capable of triangulating the position of tags when they are lost to IR using RF. The system works with vector floor plans (AutoCAD or Microstation). This enables the system to function so that detail doesn't deteriorate even with large areas (100,000 square feet to unlimited miles). This enables accurate reading of room labels to quickly identify exact location of tags.
