Method, apparatus, and computer program product improving registration with real time location services
First Claim
1. A method for registering an unregistered radio frequency (RF) location tag carried by a participant using one or more registered RF location tags carried by the participant, the method comprising:
- receiving first blink data from the one or more registered RF location tags;
determining first tag location data based on the first blink data received-from the one or more registered RF location tags;
receiving second blink data from the unregistered RF location tag;
determining second tag location data based on the second blink data received from the unregistered RF location tag;
determining, using a processor, an identity of the participant for registration with the unregistered RF location tag based at least in part on the first blink data received from the one or more registered RF location tags;
comparing the first tag location data and the second tag location data to a threshold value; and
registering the unregistered RF location tag with the participant when the comparison of the first tag location data to the second tag location data satisfies the threshold value.

Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media are disclosed for improving, in some examples, registration of radio frequency tags with a location system. Example embodiments may include a method for registering a participant with a radio frequency (RF) location tag. The method may include determining tag derived data from the one or more registered RF location tags, identifying at least one unregistered RF location tag, determining an identity of a participant for registration with the unregistered RF location tag based at least in part on the tag derived data from the one or more registered RF location tags, and registering the unregistered RF location tag with the participant.

10. An apparatus for registering an unregistered radio frequency (RF) location tag carried by a participant using one or more registered RF location tags carried by the participant, the apparatus comprising a processor coupled to a memory, the memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the apparatus, configure the apparatus to:
-
receive first blink data from the one or more registered RF location tags; determine first tag location data based on the first blink data from the one or more registered RF location tags; receive second blink data from the unregistered RF location tag; determine second tag location data based on the second blink data from the unregistered RF location tag; determine an identity of a participant for registration with the unregistered RF location tag based at least in part on the first blink data from the one or more registered RF location tags; compare the first tag location data and the second tag location data to a threshold value; and register the unregistered RF location tag with the participant when the comparison of the first tag location data to the second tag location data satisfies the threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for registering an unregistered radio frequency (RF) location tag carried by a participant using one or more registered RF location tags carried by the participant, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, configure an apparatus to:
-
receive first blink data from the one or more registered RF location tags; determine first tag location data from the one or more registered RF location tags; receive second blink data from the unregistered RF location tag; determine second tag location data based on the second blink data received from the unregistered RF location tag; determine an identity of the participant for registration with the unregistered RF location tag based at least in part on the first blink data from the one or more registered RF location tags; compare the first tag location data and the second tag location data to a threshold value; and register the unregistered RF location tag with the participant when the comparison of the first tag location data to the second tag location data satisfies the threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
