The present disclosure relates to building management. Various embodiments may include methods for determining a current position of mobile objects in buildings including: transmitting a referenced item of position information to a mobile object; transmitting a building plan to the mobile object for display thereon; and providing a calibration calculation for determining the current position of the mobile object on the plans displayed on the mobile object based on the position information. The position information is unambiguously associated with the transmitting device and thus corresponds to a current location of the mobile object in the building. Transmission of the position information or of the reference thereto takes place within a directional radio emitting region.

A near field communication (NFC) mobile device may obtain location information from a NFC terminal device that is communicating with the NFC mobile device. A data transfer link may be established between the NFC mobile device and a mobile telecommunication network. The mobile telecommunication network may prompt the NFC mobile device to obtain location information from the NFC terminal device. The mobile telecommunication network may then receive the location information from the NFC mobile device via the data transfer link, and may subsequently determine a location of the NFC mobile device using the location information.

Method, systems, and computer-readable media for receiving, from an application instance operating on a client device, healthcare information that indicates a client device identifier, a wireless proximity beacon identifier, and a proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon. From the received healthcare information, a determination is made whether the proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon satisfies a threshold proximity. Based at least on the determination, an action is determined that the application instance operating on the identified client device is permitted to perform while the proximity of the identified client device to the identified wireless proximity beacon satisfies the threshold proximity. Healthcare information is transmitted to the identified client device that enables the application instance operating on the identified client device to perform the action.

An RF position tracking system for wirelessly tracking the three-dimensional position of a tracked object. The tracked object has at least one mobile antenna and at least one inertial sensor. The system uses a plurality of base antennas which communicate with the mobile antenna using radio signals. The tracked object also incorporates the inertial sensor to improve position stability by allowing the system to compare position data from radio signals to data provided by the inertial sensor.

An indoor position information storage processing system of an embodiment includes an electric power apparatus, a first transmitter, a first receiver, a position detector, and a first information processing device. The first information processing device processes information based on the distance-measurement waves and a position of the first receiver. The first distance calculation unit calculates a distance between the first transmitter and the first receiver on the basis of distance-measurement waves received by the first receiver. The first position calculation unit calculates a position of the first transmitter on the basis of the calculated distance and a position of the first receiver. The first storage processing unit stores the calculated position of the first transmitter in a storage unit as a position of the electric power apparatus.
