Apparatus for indicating the location of a signal emitting tag

摘要

An apparatus for indicating the location of a signal emitting tag. The apparatus includes signal detectors, control logic, and at least one light producing device. The control logic activates the light producing device in response to receiving data from the signal detectors. After activation, the light producing device illuminates the location of an individual that is near the point of origin of a signal that was detected by the signal detectors.

主权项

1. A method for indicating the location of a signal emitting tag, the apparatus comprising:
providing a plurality of signal detectors; emitting a signal from a signal emitting tag carried by an individual that is collocated with a point of origin of said signal: receiving said signal at one or more of said plurality of signal detectors; transmitting the received signal data from the one or more plurality of signal detectors to a control logic; determining, by said control logic, a location of said signal based on known locations of said one or more plurality of signal detectors; activating, by said control logic, at least one visible light producing device in response to the data received from the plurality of signal detectors and the identified location of said signal; illuminating, by the control logic, said location of said signal using the at least one visible light producing device to identify said point of origin of said signal emitting tag based on said signal collocated with the individual; and monitoring said point of origin of said signal emitting tag, based, at least in part, on the data from the plurality of signal detectors, for readjusting orientation of the visible light producing device to continuously illuminate the point of origin of the signal.
