Proximity-based localization of wireless tags based on wireless gateway association information
First Claim
1. A wireless gateway, comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code;
wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the wireless gateway to at least;
receive, from a wireless tag, a wireless beacon signal;
determine, based on the wireless beacon signal, whether the wireless gateway is a trusted wireless gateway for the wireless tag; and
initiate, based on a determination that the wireless gateway is a trusted wireless gateway for the wireless tag, establishment of a connection between the wireless tag and the wireless gateway.

Abstract
A capability for localization of a wireless tag based on wireless gateway association information uses a wireless tag supporting multiple states and wireless gateway association information associated with the wireless tag to control localization of the wireless tag. The wireless tag may support an unconnected state in which the wireless tag communicates location tracking information using a wireless beacon signal which may be detected by various wireless gateways and a connected state in which the wireless tag communicates location tracking information via one or more connections with one or more wireless gateways. The wireless gateway association information may include wireless gateway lists (e.g., whitelists, blacklists, or the like), association rules, notification rules, or the like. The wireless gateway association information may be used to control transitions of the wireless tag between the unconnected state and the connected state, to control notifications for the wireless tag, or the like.

15. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a wireless gateway from a wireless tag, a wireless beacon signal; determining, by the wireless gateway based on the wireless beacon signal, whether the wireless gateway is a trusted wireless gateway for the wireless tag; and initiating, by the wireless gateway based on a determination that the wireless gateway is a trusted wireless gateway for the wireless tag, establishment of a connection between the wireless tag and the wireless gateway.
