EVENTS BASED ASSET LOCATION AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An asset location and management system comprising:
- multiple reader nodes, each reader node comprising;
at least one BLE radio configured to communicate with a plurality of peripheral devices;
a local services module in communication with the at least one BLE radio and configured to analyze data associated with each of the plurality of peripheral devices; and
a communications manager in communication with the local services module and configured to communicate with at least one cloud server; and
a cloud server comprising;
a communications module for receiving, from a communications manager of at least one of the multiple reader nodes, an analyzed data set associated with at least one of the plurality of peripheral devices in communication with the at least one BLE radio of that reader node;
a process flow library describing how peripheral devices associated with distinct types of assets are expected to move through a facility;
a rules library describing a plurality of trigger events associated with one or more peripheral devices and identifying a corresponding action for each trigger event;
a real-time compute engine configured to generate a sequence of events based in part on the analyzed data set associated with the at least one of the peripheral devices and determine, using the process flow library,whether the at least one of the plurality of peripheral devices is traveling in an expected manner.

Abstract
An asset location and management system, the system including multiple reader nodes, each reader node having a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio in communication with a plurality of peripheral devices, a local service module and a communications manager in communication with a cloud server. The system further including the cloud server having a communication module, a process flow library to describe how peripheral devices are expected to move through a facility, a rules library describing trigger events associated with one or more peripheral device and identifying a corresponding action for each trigger event, and a real-time compute engine to generate a sequence of events based on the data from the peripheral devices and the process flow library.
