Private-Network AR Tracking View for Exclusive Location Sharing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing location tracking technologies are limited in virtual reality environments, requiring active beaconing tags within reading range of readers or satellite receivers, and do not effectively support exclusive location tracking for multiple users in augmented reality systems.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for registering wireless tracking devices with a private network to generate a private network visual augmented reality view, allowing exclusive tracking and display of device locations on a user's AR device, using a processor, memory, and AR devices to track and transmit location data to a specific user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional tracking techniques using active beaconing tags and readers at key locations are used, then location tracking can be performed within reading vicinity, but continuous location tracking cannot be achieved when the tag leaves the reader's range
Solution Approach 1:
The AR device is designed to perform multiple functions: it acts as both an augmented reality display device and a satellite receiver for location tracking. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate satellite receiver devices, enabling continuous tracking regardless of whether the subject is within range of proprietary readers, thereby resolving the contradiction between reliability of continuous tracking and device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If satellite receivers are used for continual location tracking, then tracking can be achieved outside reader range, but the system does not support exclusive location tracking for multiple users in augmented reality environments
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments location data by creating separate, user-specific AR views. Each user receives and displays only their own tracked location information on their individual AR device, preventing other users from accessing or viewing another user's location data. This segmentation approach enables multi-user exclusive tracking while maintaining data privacy, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and information security.
3Productivity
If readers are deployed at key locations to read signals from active tags, then location can be noted within reading vicinity, but tracking cannot continue when the item leaves the reader's range
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts the satellite receiver functionality from the proprietary reader infrastructure and integrates it directly into the user's AR device. This extraction eliminates the need for deploying readers at key locations, as the AR device itself becomes the receiver, thereby expanding tracking coverage area without increasing infrastructure complexity.

AI summary
A private network tracking device augmented reality (AR) view system and method that facilitates registering wireless tracking device(s) with a private network for generating a private network visual augmented reality view that includes a rendering of the registered wireless tracking device(s) current location therein. In this way, a combination of location-based features and AR features are employed while leveraging the registration of wireless tracking devices with a private network for generating a private network visual AR view that tracks one or more persons, pets, vehicle, objects, assets and other items and is viewed on an AR device.
