System and method for calibration and mapping of real-time location data
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a scanner that scans a machine-readable indicia located on an area of a physical object, resulting in receiving data comprising information describing the physical object, wherein a point of origin is set in response to scanning the machine-readable indicia;
a motion sensor configured to detect physical movement of the apparatus; and
a processor that;
identifies, responsive to the physical movement of the apparatus, a spatial position of the apparatus that is determined relative to the point of origin based on a plurality of values received from the motion sensor, anddetermines a path of scanning by the apparatus in comparison with the physical object based on the information from the machine-readable indicia.

Abstract
A method of mapping the location of at least one object in three dimensional space, relative to an initial point in three dimensional space by an EIR terminal which contains a microprocessor, memory, a scanning device, a motion sensing device, and a communication interface. The method includes scanning a signal of decodable indicia located at a pre-defined area of a physical object, locating the decodable indicia within this signal, decoding the decodable indicia into a decoded message. The decoded message is an identifier for said physical object, which is then displayed. After receiving an interface command, the EIR terminal is placed in mechanical contact with the pre-defined area of the physical object and a first spatial position is stored as a point of origin in the EIR terminal.

14. A method comprising:
-
scanning machine-readable indicia, wherein the machine-readable indicia is associated with an area of a physical object; responsive to detecting a communication interface command, storing in memory a first location of an apparatus as a point of origin; moving the apparatus through three dimensional space relative to the physical object; responsive to moving the apparatus through three dimensional space relative to the physical object, receiving values from a motion sensor representing a location of the apparatus in three dimensional space relative to the point of origin; and determining a path of scanning by the apparatus in comparison with the area of the physical object that is associated with the machine-readable indicia. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
