Methods, systems and computer-readable media for tracking a position of an object

摘要

Embodiments provide a method and system for tracking a position of an object. The method may include creating a plurality of geofences on a map of a predefined location and identifying, by Wi-Fi trilateration, the position of the object within the created geofence. Further, a floor layout of the predefined location may be created by a handheld device. The position of the object can be represented on the created floor layout.

1. A method of tracking a position of an object, the method comprising:
creating at least one geofence on a map of a predefined location; identifying, by Wi-Fi trilateration, the position of the object within the at least one created geofence, the Wi-Fi trilateration comprising selecting the position of the object as a best location from a plurality of locations, wherein the plurality of locations is determined by a plurality of mathematical models comprising a polygon centroid method, a polygon triangle centroid method, and an expanding circles method, further wherein a first location of the plurality of locations is a centroid of a hexagon formed between a set of three Wi-Fi routers, by the polygon centroid method, whereby the set of three Wi-Fi routers are closest to the position of the object from among a plurality of Wi-Fi routers; creating a floor layout of the predefined location by a handheld device; and representing the position of the object on the created floor layout.
