Cooperative Path Tracking

摘要

An approach is provided in which a tracking device is attached to an object and receives nearby object routes from multiple nearby tracking devices, each attached to respective nearby objects. The tracking device compares an expected route corresponding to the object with the received nearby object routes to determine whether the object is being transported along the expected route. When the tracking device determines that the object has been incorrectly routed, the tracking device generates a notification.

主权项

1. A method for tracking objects, implemented by an information handling system, comprising:
receiving, at a tracking device attached to an object, a plurality of nearby object routes from a plurality of nearby tracking devices each attached to one of a plurality of nearby objects; comparing, by the tracking device, an expected route corresponding to the object with the received plurality of nearby object routes; and generating a notification, by the tracking device, that indicates the object is deviating from the expected route in response to the comparison.
