Automatic registration of asset tags based on crowd sourcing asset context
First Claim
1. A method for registering an asset tag in a database, the method comprising:
- receiving, from at least one mobile device, one or more asset tag collision reports, each of the one or more asset tag collision reports including a tag identifier of the asset tag, wherein the tag identifier is transmitted to the at least one mobile device in wireless signals broadcast by the asset tag;
determining a location of the asset tag based on the one or more received asset tag collision reports; and
registering the asset tag in association with the tag identifier and the determined location in the database.

Abstract
A server-implemented method for automatically registering an asset tag in a database is disclosed. One or more asset tag collision reports are received from at least one mobile device connected to the server, each report including a tag identifier of the asset tag that is wirelessly broadcast by the asset tag. A location of the asset tag is determined based on the one or more received asset tag collision reports. A first asset is selected from a set of unregistered assets that are identified as being deployed in the indoor facility based on determining that there is a match between the location of the asset tag and location information associated with the first asset. The asset tag is then registered in association with the first asset in the database.

11. A server for registering an asset tag in a database, the server comprising:
-
a processor; and memory storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive, from at least one mobile device, one or more asset tag collision reports, each of the one or more asset tag collision reports including a tag identifier of the asset tag, wherein the tag identifier is transmitted to the at least one mobile device in wireless signals broadcast by the asset tag, determine a location of the asset tag based on the one or more received asset tag collision reports, and register the asset tag in association with the tag identifier and the determined location in the database. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a server to register an asset tag in a database, wherein the instructions comprise:
-
instructions to receive, from at least one mobile device, one or more asset tag collision reports, each of the one or more asset tag collision reports including a tag identifier of the asset tag, wherein the tag identifier is transmitted to the at least one mobile device in wireless signals broadcast by the asset tag; instructions to determine a location of the asset tag based on the one or more received asset tag collision reports; and instructions to register the asset tag in association with the tag identifier and the determined location in the database.
