SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAPPING WIRELESS NETWORK COVERAGE

摘要

Disclosed is a system for collecting data and mapping wireless network coverage in a building such as a retail store. A mobile computing device is used by an employee to collect data captures and wireless coverage indicators in the retail store. The wireless coverage indicator includes data on the status of wireless network coverage in the location where the data capture was collected. The data capture and the wireless coverage indicators are wirelessly transmitted to a utility for mapping a building when a wireless network is available. If no wireless network is available, the data is stored in the mobile computing device until a wireless network is available. The utility for mapping a building uses information in the data capture to determine the location where the data capture was collected, and maps the data in the wireless coverage indicator to the location on a map of the building.

主权项

1. A system for mapping wireless network coverage of a building, the system comprising:
a mobile computing device wherein the mobile computing device comprises: a data capture module, wherein the data capture module collects a barcode scan; and a coverage capture module, wherein the coverage capture module creates a wireless coverage indicator associated with the barcode scan; and a utility for mapping a building, wherein the utility for mapping a building is resident on a server; wherein the utility for mapping a building correlates the barcode scan to a location in the building, and maps the wireless coverage indicator to the location in response to receiving the barcode scan and the wireless coverage indicator from the mobile computing device.
