System and method for locating a mobile device |
| 摘要 |
A system and method for locating a mobile device are presented. A mobile device is configured to transmit a beacon signal encoding an identifier of the mobile device. A relay device has a known location and is configured to receive the beacon signal from the mobile device, the beacon signal having a signal level, encode the identifier of the mobile device, the signal level, and an identifier of the relay device into a message, and transmit the message. A console device is configured to decode the message received from the relay device to identify an approximate location of the mobile device. |

1. A system, comprising:
a mobile device configured to transmit a beacon signal encoding an identifier of the mobile device; a relay device having a known location and being configured to:
receive the beacon signal from the mobile device, the beacon signal having a signal level,encode the identifier of the mobile device, the signal level, and an identifier of the relay device into a message, andtransmit the message; and a console device including a database mapping the identifier of the relay device to a location of the relay device, the console device being configured to receive the message from the relay device, and decode the message received from the relay device to identify an approximate location of the mobile device using the identifier of the mobile device, the signal level, and the identifier of the relay device. |
