  • Publication number: 20240024070
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for determining the location of hospital assets. The system includes one or more communication devices each associated with a respective asset identification and a computing device configured to communicate with the communication devices via a network. The computing device receives, from a respective communication device, data comprising the respective asset identification of the respective communication device an identifier associated with a patient or a patient care device, obtains, from a database based on the identifier, additional information pertaining to the patient or the patient care device, and determines a location of the respective communication device based on the data received from the respective communication device and the obtained additional information.

  • Patent number: 11790780
    Abstract: A system and method of acquiring and maintaining location information associated with traffic apparatus deployed in connection with a traffic flow monitoring or regulation system are disclosed. In some implementations, an apparatus identifier may distinguish a particular traffic apparatus from others that are deployed in proximity, and a functional identifier may define a functionality of the particular traffic apparatus; positioning, orientation, and movement or acceleration data may also be provided for real-time or near real-time system applications. These apparatus data may be used to derive and to maintain a record of location data associated with each traffic apparatus deployed in a particular application.

  • Patent number: 11123154
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for determining the location of fixed wireless assets (FWAs). The system includes at least one FWA having an asset tracking number, at least one mobile device wirelessly coupled to the FWA via a first communication link. The mobile device is assigned to one of these people. The system also includes a computer that is coupled to the FWA via a second communication link and to a database. The FWA is configured to forward the data received from the mobile device to the computer along with the FWA's asset tracking number. The computer is configured to determine the location of the FWA based at least in part on the data received from the FWA and the information retrieved from the database.
