Mobile device location system
First Claim
1. A system for identifying location of a mobile electronic device relative to an object, the system comprising:
- an electronic control unit configured to calculate location of the mobile electronic device, the electronic control unit including a first transceiver connected to a first antenna that receives signals from the mobile electronic device used by the electronic control unit to identify location of the mobile electronic device; and
one or more antenna modules in communication with the electronic control unit, each one of the one or more antenna modules including a second transceiver connected to at least two secondary antennas that receive signals from the mobile electronic device used by the electronic control unit to identify location of the mobile electronic device;
wherein the one or more antenna modules include a first antenna module and a second antenna module; and
wherein the second antenna module is configured to be mounted to the object apart from the electronic control unit and the first antenna module, the second antenna module is in communication with the electronic control unit and includes a third transceiver and a secondary antenna connected thereto that receives signals from the mobile electronic device used by the electronic control unit to identify location of the mobile electronic device relative to the object based on strength of the signals.
