A method for inferring a status asset information from data of a first type gathered by a first asset tracking device is provided. The method includes determining that a first asset tracking device coupled to a first asset and a second asset tracking device coupled to a second asset are travelling together, that the first asset tracking device has a first operating mode, and that the second asset tracking device has a second operating mode, which is different from the first operating mode of the first asset tracking device. In response, the second asset tracking device enters into a low-power mode in which it either does not gather data of the first type or does so at a reduced rate. Status information related to the second asset may be inferred from data of the first type gathered by the first asset tracking device.

A method can include receiving sensor data, receiving satellite observations, determining a positioning solution (e.g., PVT solution, PVA solution, kinematic parameters, etc.) based on the sensor data and the satellite observations. A system can include a sensor, a GNSS receiver, and a processor configured to determine a positioning solution based on readings from the sensor and the GNSS receiver.

An electronic device and a method of an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a satellite positioning circuit, at least one sensor for sensing an azimuth or movement of the electronic device, and a processor configured to identify the movement of the electronic device by using a plurality of location information received through the satellite positioning circuit, identify first azimuth information corresponding to the movement of the electronic device, based at least on determining that the movement of the electronic device corresponds to a designated movement, and calibrate second azimuth information obtained using the at least one sensor, based at least on the first azimuth information.

This application discloses a user equipment location information reporting method, user equipment, and a network device. Specifically, when user equipment moves, the user equipment may report, based on an indication of a location management device, a result of measuring a plurality of received positioning reference signals by the user equipment. The location management device may determine a location of the user equipment based on the measurement result of the plurality of positioning reference signals that is reported by the UE.

Location polygons are defined along traffic lanes and parking spaces to facilitate determination of the location of a vehicle relative to features associated with the location polygons. The location polygons are used, in one application, to identity entrance and exit of a special toll lane along a roadway, and to ensure that the vehicle properly enters and exits the tolling lane.

In some examples, an electronic device of a localization system comprises a wireless transceiver to exchange data with a mobile device and a processor. The electronic device obtains, from the mobile device, location coordinates of the mobile device. The location coordinates of the mobile device are set as location coordinates of the electronic device. A beacon package comprising an identifier of the electronic device and the location coordinates of the electronic device is generated. The beacon package is transmitted to a local device in proximity to the electronic device.

A method for locating positions of electronic devices is provided. The method includes receiving, by a master electronic device, movement information of the electronic devices, and setting the electronic devices to a first reference device, a second reference device, or a normal electronic device, based on the movement information, calculating, by the first reference device, a distance between the first reference device and the second reference device and a distance between the first reference device and the normal electronic device, calculating, by the second reference device, a distance between the second reference device and the normal electronic device, and transmitting the calculated distance information to the first reference device, and calculating, by the first reference device, a position of the normal electronic device by a triangulation method, based on the distances among the first reference device, the second reference device, and the normal electronic device.

This position detection system comprises a mobile station that transmits a beacon signal, a plurality of fixed stations that receive the beacon signal, and a position analysis device that acquires position information for the mobile station by estimating the position of the mobile station from the reception intensities of the beacon signal at each fixed station. The mobile station includes a movement detection unit (acceleration sensor, geomagnetic sensor, etc.) that determines when movement has stopped. While the movement of the mobile station has stopped, the position analysis device stops estimating the position of the mobile station and keeps the position information at a fixed position.

The present disclosure pertains to utilizing hardware and software to control and record environmental and other data obtained from sensors and other devices, placed throughout a facility, and analyzing and displaying the information in a detailed status report of the environmental conditions inside facility, and once analyzed, the software can provide recommendations to implement measures that increase the efficiency of the facility.
