Abstract

A system and method for managing the location of at least one moving object is disclosed. An object movement detection unit is configured to be provided on the moving object, and to detect the movement of the moving object. A wireless tag is configured to be provided on the moving object, and to wirelessly transmit Identification (ID) information based on information about the movement of the moving object which is detected by the object movement detection unit. A location information generation unit is configured to be provided on the transporting object, and to generate the location information of the transporting object. A moving object location information generation unit is configured to generate location information of the moving object using the ID information wirelessly transmitted from the wireless tag and the location information generated by the location information generation unit.

Claims

1. A system for detecting and managing the location of at least one moving object being moved by a transporting object, the system comprising:

an object movement detection unit configured to be provided on the moving object, and to detect movement of the moving object;

a wireless tag configured to be provided on the moving object, and to wirelessly transmit Identification (ID) information based on information about the movement of the moving object which is detected by the object movement detection unit;

a location information generation unit configured to be provided on the transporting object, and to generate location information of the transporting object; and

a moving object location information generation unit configured to generate location information of the moving object using the ID information wirelessly transmitted from the wireless tag and the location information generated by the location information generation unit.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the moving object location information generation unit is provided on the transporting object.

3. The system according to claim 2, wherein the moving object location information generation unit is connected to a transporting object transmission unit for transmitting the location information of the moving object,

further comprising a central control unit for receiving and managing the location information of the moving object transmitted from the transporting object transmission unit.

4. The system according to claim 1, wherein the location information generation unit is a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver for generating GPS information.

5. The system according to claim 4, wherein the GPS receiver simultaneously generates location information and time information, and the moving object location information generation unit uses the time information, which is generated by the GPS receiver, when generating the location information of the moving object.

6. The system according to claim 1, wherein the object movement detection unit is an acceleration sensor.

7. A method for detecting and managing the location of at least one moving object being moved by a transporting object, the method comprising:

an object movement detection unit, provided on the moving object, detecting movement of the moving object;

a wireless tag, provided on the moving object, wirelessly transmitting ID information based on information about the detected movement of the moving object;

a location information generation unit, provided on the transporting object, generating location information of the transporting object; and

a moving object location information generation unit generating location information of the moving object using the ID information and the location information of the transporting object.

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the moving object location information generation unit is provided on the transporting object.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein a transporting object transmission unit, which is connected to the moving object location information generation unit, transmits the location information of the moving object to a central control unit, and the central control unit receives and manages the location information of the moving object.

10. The method according to claim 7, wherein the location information generation unit is a GPS receiver for simultaneously generating location information and time information, and the moving object location information generation unit uses the time information, which is generated by the GPS receiver, when generating the location information of the moving object.
