1. A method comprising:
- calculating, using a processor, location data for a location tag based on blink data received from the location tag;
determining sensor position calculation data based on position data or proximity data received from a sensor associated with the location tag;
determining an over-determined location based on the location data, the sensor position calculation data, and a location hierarchy, wherein the location hierarchy comprises a first priority for the location data, a second priority for the sensor position calculation data based on the position data, and a third priority for the sensor position calculation data based on the proximity data; and
causing the over-determined location to be displayed on a user interface.

Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media are disclosed for improving, in some examples, real time location systems with multiple location technologies. In one embodiment, a method is provided including receiving blink data from a location tag associated with a first sensor; receiving proximity data generated based on communications between the first sensor and a second sensor, the proximity data including a sensor identifier; calculating location data associated with the location tag based on the blink data; and determining sensor position calculation data associated with the first sensor based on the proximity data.
