Benefits of technology

This device can help gather valuable assets like pets such as dogs through monitoring their movements on a large area around them. These assets have unique identifiers called tags attached thereto - these markers indicate where they're moving inside space. When someone wants to take action based solely on those assets without actually tracking it themselves, the system uses special equipment placed near certain locations along its route to collect important information about how farthest away objects move towards usable areas.

Problems solved by technology

This patents describes how precise location detection of remotely located equipment depends heavily upon its own technical problem addressed in this patented solution. Specifically, current systems rely solely on astronomers who estimate their altitude based on satellite-based timing measurement alone without considering factors like weather conditions or electronics interference. Additionally, there exist certain existing approaches involving radar tracking but none provide sufficient accuracy due to issues related to electrical noise and atmospheric turbulence.

Abstract

A first apparatus includes an imaging component configured to capture an earthbound image of the sky from a terrestrial location, a chronometric component, a communication component configured to transmit data representative of a captured earthbound image of the sky, and a controller. The controller is configured to cause an earthbound image of the sky to be captured using the imaging component at a time identified by the chronometric component and data representative of the captured earthbound image to be transmitted. A second apparatus includes a computer and a computer readable medium accessible by the computer and including data representative of a master mapping of the sky relative to the Earth and computer-executable instructions for determining a terrestrial location based on data representative of a captured earthbound image of the sky and an identified time at which the earthbound image was captured. A system includes the first and second apparatus.
