Locator Beacon and Radar Application for Mobile Device
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- (a) a wireless communications component, configured to send and receive wireless signals such that the device is locatable via a wireless means;
said wireless communications component including;
(i) a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) module for measuring signal strength of a wireless signal received at said wireless communications component,wherein the device is configured to be tracked by a mobile computing device (MCD) running a mobile application adapted to locate the device via said wireless means,wherein said mobile application includes a feature, wherein when the device is wirelessly coupled to said MCD, said mobile application displays a representation of the device on said MCD, relative to a distance of the device from said MCD,wherein said distance of the device from said MCD is calculated by said mobile application upon receiving between one and three RSSI values, measured by said RSSI module, and sent in a signal by the device to said MCD,wherein said distance is calculated based an average of said received RSSI values.
