Patent number: 11889375Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes detecting, by a first computing device, an event relating to the first computing device and a tracking device. The method includes sending, by the first computing device, a notification of the event to a tracking system server. The notification of the event includes a location associated with the event and a timestamp associated with the event. The method includes receiving, by the first computing device, a last known location of the tracking device from the tracking system server. The last known location is based on the location associated with the event and one or more locations associated with each of one or more location updates received by the tracking system server from one or more second computing devices. The method includes displaying, by the first computing device, the last known location of the tracking device.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Tile, Inc.Inventors: Pierre-Marie Lévêque, Wayne Patterson, Arunkumar Puppala

Patent number: 11533581Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a tracking system server, a data stream comprising events related to a set of devices. The set of devices include tracking devices and mobile devices. Each event contains a location update respectively associated with a tracking device of the set or a mobile device of the set. The method includes programmatically separating, by the tracking system server, the events from the data stream. The method includes batching, for processing by the tracking system server, the separated events into one or more batches. The method includes processing, by the tracking system server, a specific batch of events, of the one or more batches of events, that involves a specific tracking device to estimate a location of the specific tracking device using a location determination algorithm.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2021Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Tile, Inc.Inventors: Pierre-Marie Lévêque, Wayne Patterson, Arunkumar Puppala

Patent number: 11197121Abstract: A last known location of a tracking device can be determined by using location information received at a tracking system. A disconnection event is received at the tracking system indicating that a tracking device has disconnected from a mobile device. In response, the tracking system can generate a last known location for the tracking device. Other relevant location updates, such as recent locations of the mobile device or locations of other mobile devices that connect to the tracking device are collected and associated with the disconnection event. Based on the location updates, a last known location of the tracking device can be computed and stored.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Tile, Inc.Inventors: Pierre-Marie Lévêque, Wayne Patterson, Arunkumar Puppala

Patent number: 11070934Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a tracking system server from a first computing device in response to an event between the first computing device and a tracking device, a location associated with the tracking device and a timestamp. The method includes receiving, by the tracking system server, a set of location updates from a set of second computing devices, each location update including a location associated with the tracking device when the second computing device detects the tracking device and a timestamp. The method includes determining, by the tracking system server, a last known location of the tracking device based on the location associated with the tracking device received from the first computing device and one or more of the locations associated with the tracking device received with the location update.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2020Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: TILE, Inc.Inventors: Pierre-Marie Lévêque, Wayne Patterson, Arunkumar Puppala
