1. A method for collaborative spatial position determination between objects, comprising:
- receiving by a first object information describing a position of the first object as derived from disparate position determination techniques;
combining information describing the position of the first object from disparate position determination techniques to determine a first object spatial position;
establishing peer-to-peer communication between the first object to a second object; and
exchanging between the first object and the second object information describing the position of the first object wherein the second object determines a second object spatial location based, in part, on information describing the position of the first object received by the first object, information describing a peer-to-peer relative location between the first object and the second object and disparate position determination techniques associated with the second object and wherein based on information describing the position of the first object exchanged from the first object to the second object, the second object corrects variances for each disparate position determination technique associated with the second object.

Abstract
Disparate positional data derived from one or more positional determinative resources are fused with peer-to-peer relational data to provide an object with a collaborative positional awareness. An object collects positional determinative information from one or more positional resources so to independently determine its spatial location. That determination is thereafter augmented by peer-to-peer relational information that can be used to enhance positional determination and modify behavioral outcomes.

17. A system for collaborative determination of spatial position, comprising:
-
a first object; a second object; one or more disparate position determination resources operable to determine for the first object a first object spatial position; and a communication link between the first object and the second object wherein the second object is operable to determine for the second object a second object spatial position based, at least in part, on the first object spatial position received from the first object, and information describing a peer-to-peer relative location between the first object and the second object and wherein based on information describing the spatial position of the first object exchanged from the first object to the second object, the second object corrects variances for each disparate position determination resource operable to determine for the second object the first object spatial position. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A system for collaborative determination of spatial position, comprising:
-
a first transceiver operable to receive information describing a position of a first object derived from disparate position determination techniques; a memory operable to store positional information received from the disparate position determination techniques; a second transceiver operable to establish peer-to-peer communication between the first object to a second object; a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and capable of executing instructions embodied as software; and a plurality of software portions, wherein one of said software portions is configured to determine a variance in the information describing the position of the first object received from the disparate position determination techniques, one of said software portions is configured to combine information describing the position of the first object received from the disparate position determination techniques to determine a first object spatial position, and one of said software portions is configured to exchange between the first object and the second object information describing the position of the first object as well as the variance in the information describing the position of the first object, and information describing a peer-to-peer relative location between the first object and the second object so as to enable the second object to determine a second object spatial location based, in part, on the first object'"'"'s spatial position. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
