REAL-TIME PLANOGRAM GENERATION AND MAINTENANCE
First Claim
1. A method for generating a planogram of a facility in real-time, the method comprising:
- positioning a wireless mobile device at a plurality of geometric positions defining a physical object;
establishing a location of the mobile device at each geometric position within the facility using a locationing system;
associating each geometric position with the established location of the mobile device; and
updating the planogram with information about each geometric position.

Abstract
Generating a planogram of a facility in real-time, includes positioning a wireless mobile device at a plurality of geometric positions within the facility. A location of the mobile device at each position is then established using a location mechanism. Each geometric position is then associated with that location of the mobile device. The planogram is then updated with information about the geometric position. The geometric positions are associated with physical objects modeled in the planogram. Non-geometric information can also be obtained at the location of the mobile device, and this non-geometric information can be overlaid onto the planogram.

18. A system for generating a real-time planogram of a facility containing physical objects with geometric positions, the system comprising:
-
a locationing system operable to establish locations of wireless mobile devices within the facility; a wireless mobile device operable to be positioned at a plurality of geometric positions within the facility such that the location system can establish a location of the mobile device at each geometric position within the facility, wherein the mobile device can be activated to provide an association of each geometric position with the established location of the mobile device; and a server operable to update the planogram with information about each geometric position.
