Dynamic wireless networks and interactive wireless information communication and delivery systems for calculating distance to an object
First Claim
1. A method for calculating a distance to objects or a nearest object to a wireless enabled device, the method comprising:
- broadcasting a signal by the wireless enabled device to data tags within a distance range;
receiving by the data tags within the distance range the signal by the wireless enabled device;
obtaining by each of the data tags within the distance range a signal strength indicator of the wireless enabled device based on the signal from the wireless enabled device;
transmitting by each of the data tags in the range a signal to the wireless enabled device including the signal strength indicator of the wireless enabled device;
communicating each signal strength indicator of the wireless enabled device to a positioning and communication system; and
communicating to the wireless enabled device information including the distance to the objects or nearest object within the distance range of the data tags.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for calculating a distance to objects or a nearest object to a wireless enabled device. The method includes the steps of broadcasting a signal by the wireless enabled device to data tags, receiving by the data tags the signal by the wireless enabled device, and obtaining by each of the data tags a signal strength indicator of the wireless enabled device based on the signal from the wireless enabled device. Each of the data tags in a range transmits a signal to the wireless enabled device including the signal strength indicator of the wireless enabled device. Each signal strength indicator of the wireless enabled device is communicated to a positioning and communication system.

12. A system for measuring relative signal strength of a wireless enabled device within a distance range for objects, the system comprising:
-
data tags configured to receive a signal transmitted by at least one wireless enabled device within the distance range, each of the data tags obtains within the distance range a signal strength indicator from the signal transmitted from each of the wireless enabled device; and
in response, each of the data tags transmits within the distance range a signal to the wireless enabled device including the signal strength indicator of each of the at least one wireless enabled device; anda positioning and communication system configured to communicate with each of the data tags within the distance range and receive at least one signal strength indicator of each of the at least one wireless enabled device and communicate with each of the at least one wireless enabled device information about objects with the distance range of the data tags. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
