Abstract

A location tracking and distance monitoring system of the present invention includes a plurality of portable transponders, each portable transponder having a wireless transmitter and configured to transmit location data, a location database storing the location data transmitted by the plurality of portable transponders, wherein each portable transponder is identified as a tag with co-ordinates in the location database, a distance monitoring module comprising at least one processor and configured, via computer executable instructions, to access the location data from the location database, define a coverage region with a coverage radius around each tag, determine overlapping zones of the coverage regions of the tags, and generate tag clusters based on the overlapping zones. Further, an associated method and a computer readable medium are provided.

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects of the invention generally relate to a location tracking and distance monitoring system and an associated method, in particular for monitoring distances or separations, such as social or physical distances. Background technique [0002] Generally, location tracking involves the technology of physically locating and electronically recording and tracking the movement of a person or object. Location tracking technologies are used every day, for example by utilizing the Global Positioning System (GPS) for navigation. Real-time location systems, also known as RTLS, are used to automatically identify and track the location of people or objects in real time, for example within buildings or other enclosed areas. Examples of real-time location systems include tracking cars passing through an assembly line, locating pallets in a warehouse, or finding medical equipment in a hospital. [0003] New challenges require new approaches and solutions. An exam...
