<p>A system and process for determining the location of persons and objects using RF transmitters (TXs) that transmit location messages to at least one receiver connected to a computer, in a network of computers. Each TX comprises an accelerometer for providing an indication of severity of motion to which the TX is subjected. The transmission of the location message is blocked during periods wherein the accelerometer indicates that the severity of motion is below a motion threshold. The location message signals are picked up by one or more receivers (RXs) scattered throughout an environment. Each TX transmits a code with a unique Identifier, and each RX also has a unique identifier. The RXs measure the signal strength of each location message transmission. Each RX is connected to a computer, which is in turn connected to a network. The RX computers send the data messages including the TX identifier, radio signal strength, and RX identifier to a central computer via the network. The central computer uses this information to determine the location of the TXs. <IMAGE></p> |
