Patent number: 10674340Abstract: A method for communicating data representing spatially organized information, performed by a central server RF-frequency peripherals with locations within a predetermined area, each location being defined by a vertical and horizontal position within a plane perpendicular to a floor of the predetermined area, each location being associated with a corresponding unique identifier. The method may involve receiving a communication from a mobile terminal including a unique identifier received by the mobile terminal from an RF peripheral located in the predetermined area, determining a location of the mobile terminal within the predetermined area based on the location associated with the unique identifier, and transmitting to the mobile terminal spatially localized information associated with the location.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2019Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: SES-imagotag, IncorporatedInventors: Philippe Bottine, François Robin
