USING BLUETOOTH BEACONS TO AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE THE LOCATION WITHIN A PORTABLE GAS DETECTOR'S LOGS
First Claim
1. A method for updating the location information on a gas detector device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a gas detector device, a wireless beacon, when the gas detector device passes within the range of the wireless beacon, wherein the wireless beacon contains location information;
updating, by the gas detector device, the location information stored on the gas detector device using the location information from the wireless beacon; and
associating, by the gas detector device, subsequent readings taken by one or more sensors of the gas detector device with the updated location information.

Abstract
Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for updating the location information for a gas detector device. A gas detector device may comprise a wireless receiver operable to receive information from one or more wireless beacons. In some cases, the wireless beacons may comprise location information. When the gas detector device receives a wireless beacon, the location information stored on the gas detector device may be updated accordingly. In some cases, the subsequent readings of the gas detector device may be associated with the updated location information. In some cases, the wireless beacons may be located at critical areas within a facility, such as entrances or exits to locations.
