`
`Background of the Invention
`
`Field of the Invention
`
`[0003] The
`
`invention relates generally to the field of
`
`location and_
`
`tracking
`
`communication systems. More particularly, the present invention relates in one embodiment
`

`

`to an accelerometer incorporated as part of portable electronic tracking device for individuals
`
`and objects to improve monitoring by a wireless location and tracking system and/or wireless
`
`communication system (WCS).
`
`Description of Related Technology
`
`[0004] Accelerometers are conventionally integrated into electronics systems that are
`
`part of a vehicle, vessel, and airplane to detect, measure, and monitor deflections, vibrations,
`
`and acceleration. Accelerometers, for example, may include one or more Micro Electro-
`
`Mechanical System (MEMS) devices,
`
`In particular, MEMS devices include one or more
`
`suspended cantilever beams (e.g., single-axis, dual-axis, and three-axis models), as well as
`
`deflection sensing circuitry. Accelerometers are utilized by a multitude of electronics
`
`manufacturers.
`
`[0005] For
`
`instance, electronics gaming manufacturers exploit an accelerometer’s
`
`deflection sensing capability,
`
`for
`
`instance,
`
`to measure device tilt and control game
`
`functionality.
`
`In another instance, consumer electronics manufacturers, e.g., Apple, Ericsson,
`
`and Nike, incorporate accelerometers in personal electronic devices, e.g., Apple iPhone, to
`
`provide a changeable screen display orientation that toggles between portrait and landscape
`
`layout window settings; to manage human inputs through a human interface, e.g., Apple iPod®
`
`touch screen interface; and to measure game movementand tilt, e.g., Wii gaming remotes.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Still electronics§circuitry manufacturersothers including automobile utilize MEMS
`
`
`
`
`
`accelerometers to initiate airbag deployment in accordance with a detected collision severity
`
`level by measuring negative vehicle acceleration.

`

`[0006] Other electronics manufacturer products, e.g., Nokia 5500 sport, count step
`
`motions using a 3D accelerometer, and translate user information via user’s taps or shaking
`
`motion to select song titles and to enable mp3 player track switching.
`
`In another instance,
`
`portable or laptop computers include hard-disk drives integrated with an accelerometer to
`
`detect displacementor falling incidents. For instance, when a hard-disk accelerometer detects
`
`a low-g condition, e.g., indicating free-fall and expected shock, a hard-disk write feature may be
`
`temporarily disabled to avoid accidental data overwriting and prevent stored data corruption.
`
`After free-fall and expected shock, the hard-disk write feature is enabled to allow data to be
`
`written to one or more hard-disk tracks. Still others including medical product manufacturers
`
`utilize accelerometers to measure depth of Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) chest
`
`compressions. Sportswear manufacturers, e.g., Nike sports watches and footwear, incorporate
`
`accelerometers to feedback speed and distance to a runner via a connected iPod® Nano.
`
`[0007] Still others including manufacturers of conventional inertial navigation systems
`
`deploy one or more accelerometers as part of, for instance, on-board electronics of a vehicle,
`
`vessel, train and/or airplane.
`
`In addition to accelerometer measurements, conventional inertial
`
`navigation systems integrate one or more gyroscopes with the on-board electronics to assist
`
`tracking including performing various measurements, e.g.,
`
`tilt, angle, and roll. More
`
`specifically, gyroscopes measure angular velocity, for instance, of a vehicle, vessel, train, and/or
`
`airplane in an inertial reference frame. The inertial reference frame, provided, for instance, by
`
`a human operator, a GPS receiver, or position and velocity measurements from one or more
`
`motion sensors.

`
`

`

`[0008] More specifically,
`
`integration of measured inertial accelerations commences
`
`with, for instance, original velocity, for instance, of a vehicle, vessel, train, and/or airplane to
`
`yield updated inertial system velocities. Another integration of updated inertial system
`
`velocities yields an updated inertial system orientate, e.g., tilt, angle, and roll, within a system
`
`limited positioning accuracy.
`
`In one instance to improve positioning accuracy, conventional
`
`inertial navigation systems utilize GPS system outputs.
`
`In another instance to improve
`
`positioning accuracy, conventional
`
`inertial navigation systems intermittently reset to zero
`
`inertial tracking velocity, for instance, by stopping the inertial navigation system.
`
`In yet other
`
`examples, control theory and Kalman filtering provide a framework to combine motion sensor
`
`information in attempts to improve positional accuracy of the updated inertial system
`
`orientation.
`
`[0009] Potential drawbacks of many conventional inertial navigations systems include
`
`electrical and mechanical hardware occupying a large real estate footprint and requiring
`
`complex electronic measurement and control circuitry with limited applicability to changed
`
`environmental conditions.
`
`Furthermore, many conventional
`
`inertial navigation system
`
`calculations are prone to accumulated acceleration and velocity measurement errors.
`
`For
`
`instance, many conventional inertial navigations accelerations and velocity measurement errors
`
`are on the order of 0.6 nautical miles per hour in position and tenths of a degree per hour in
`
`orientation.
`
`[0010] In contrast to conventional inertial navigation systems, a conventional Global
`
`Positioning Satellite (GPS) system uses Global Positioning Signals (GPS) to monitor and track
`
`location coordinates communicated between location coordinates monitoring satellites and an
`
`IPR2020-01192

`
`IPR2020-01192

`
`

`

`individual or an object having a GPS transceiver.
`
`In this system, GPS monitoring of location
`
`coordinates is practical when a GPS transceiver receives at least a minimal GPS signal
`
`level.
`
`However, a minimal GPS signal level may not be detectable when an individual or object is not
`
`located in a skyward position.
`
`For instance, when an individual or object carrying a GPS
`
`transceiver enters a covered structure, e.g., a garage, a parking structure, or a large building,
`
`GPS satellite communication signals may be obstructed or partially blocked, hindering tracking
`
`and monitoring capability. Not only is a GPS transceiver receiving a weak GPS signal, but also
`
`the GPS transceiver is depleting battery power in failed attempts to acquire communications
`
`signals from one or more location coordinates monitoring satellites, e.g., GPS satellites, or out-
`
`of-range location coordinates reference towers.
`
`Furthermore, weak GPS communication
`
`signals may introduce errors in location coordinates information.
`
`[0011] In summary, electronic tracking device and methodology is needed that provides
`
`additional advantages over conventional systems such as improved power management, e.g.,
`
`efficient use of battery power, and provide other improvements including supplementing
`
`conventional electronic tracking device monitoring, e.g., increased measurement accuracy of
`
`location coordinates of objects and individuals traveling into and/or through a structure, e.g., a
`
`partially covered building, a parking structure, or a substantially enclosed structure, such as a
`
`basementor a storage area in a high-rise office building.
`
`Summaryof the Invention
`
`[0012] In a first aspect of the present invention, a portable electronic apparatus for a
`
`tracking device is disclosed. The electronic apparatus includes a transceiver, an accelerometer,
`
`5

`
`

`

`and an antenna. The antenna is disposed on the tracking device. The antenna is configured to
`
`communicate signal strength to a signal processor associated with the tracking device. In one
`
`variant, responsive to the signal strength, a battery management module (e.g., battery monitor)
`
`controls electronic components associated with the tracking device.
`
`In one variant, an
`
`accelerometer performs an acceleration measurement. In one variant, prior or nearby location
`
`coordinates associated with the tracking device are utilized or assist to compute current
`
`location coordinates information of the tracking device.
`
`[0013] In a
`
`second aspect of
`
`the present
`
`invention,
`
`a method is disclosed to
`
`communicate location coordinates of a first, tracking device.
`
`In this method, a transceiver
`
`communicates measured signal strength.
`
`In response to measured signal strength level, a
`
`power managementcircuitry (e.g., battery monitor) controls power levels associated with the
`
`first
`
`tracking device to reduce or increase power consumption of a transceiver and its
`
`assoc
