System and method for calibration and mapping of real-time location data
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- capturing, with a mobile device, an image comprising machine readable indicia that is associated with an area of a physical object;
decoding the machine readable indicia to obtain data identifying a physical location of the area and a physical structure of the physical object;
obtaining an initial value corresponding to an initial orientation of the mobile device;
scanning the area using the mobile device;
collecting a plurality of values corresponding to orientations and movements of the mobile device relative to the physical object over a period of time after collecting the initial value;
associating data of the collecting of the plurality of values corresponding to orientations and movements of the mobile device with data of the scanning of the area by the mobile deviceformulating a path of movement of the mobile device based on the collected values and associated data; and
displaying, on a graphical user interface, a scan path the mobile device'"'"'s scanning of the area.

Abstract
A method of mapping the location of at least one object in three dimensional space, relative to an initial point in three dimensional space by an EIR terminal which contains a microprocessor, memory, a scanning device, a motion sensing device, and a communication interface. The method includes scanning a signal of decodable indicia located at a pre-defined area of a physical object, locating the decodable indicia within this signal, decoding the decodable indicia into a decoded message. The decoded message is an identifier for said physical object, which is then displayed. After receiving an interface command, the EIR terminal is placed in mechanical contact with the pre-defined area of the physical object and a first spatial position is stored as a point of origin in the EIR terminal.

15. A method comprising:
-
scanning machine-readable indicia, wherein the machine-readable indicia is associated with an area of a physical object; responsive to detecting a communication interface command, storing in memory a first location of a scanner as a point of origin; moving the scanner through three dimensional space relative to the physical object; responsive to moving the scanner through three dimensional space relative to the physical object, receiving values from a motion sensor representing a location of the scanner in three dimensional space relative to the point of origin; and determining a path of scanning by the scanner in comparison with the area of the physical object that is associated with the machine-readable indicia. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
