Systems and Methods for Location-Aware Imaging Devices

摘要

Methods and systems fir tracking locations of a plurality of devices includes initializing a server with a site floor plan, receiving ranging information transmitted by one or more devices of the plurality of devices at the server, creating a multi-dimensional map of locations of the plurality of devices based on ranging information using a location engine, and calibrating the multi-dimensional map of locations to the site floor plan calibrated with geospatial coordinates. Upon movement of a device from a first to a second location, ranging information changes between devices and maps relative locations and absolute locations are updated.

1. A method for tracking location of a plurality of imaging devices in a computing system environment, comprising:
receiving, at a first imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices, at least one broadcast signal from at least one other imaging device of the plurality of imaging devices; generating position data associated with the at least one other imaging device using the received at least one broadcast signal; transmitting the position data from the first imaging device, to a server, wherein the server creates a multi-dimensional map of initial locations of each of the at least one other imaging device relative to the first imaging device based on the position data; upon movement of the at least one other imaging device from the initial location to a second location, receiving at the first imaging device another broadcast signal from the at least one other imaging device at the second location; generating second position data associated with the at least one other imaging device; transmitting the second position data from the first imaging device to the server; and redrawing the multi-dimensional map to show the new location of the at least one other imaging device at the second location.
