System and method for providing location based information
First Claim
1. A method for providing information corresponding to one of several machines to a wireless interface device (WID) where the machines are located within a facility and at least a sub-set of the machines are located within a facility space, the method comprising the steps of:
- identifying zones within the facility including a separate machine zone adjacent each of the machines within the space;
identifying the location of the WID within the facility;
determining if the WID location is within a machine zone;
where the WID is located within a machine zone associated with a specific machine, identifying machine information related to the specific machine;
transmitting at least a sub-set of the machine information to the WID; and
presenting the received information via the WID.

Abstract
A method and system for providing information corresponding to one of several machines to a wireless interface device (WID) where the machines are located within a facility and at least a sub-set of the machines are located within a facility space where the invention includes specifying machine zones within the facility including a separate zone adjacent each machine within the space, identifying the location of the WID within the facility and determining if the WID is located within the machine zone, where the WID is located within the machine zone, identifying machine information related to an associated machine and transmitting the information to the WID.
