System concepts and its detecting method

Hybrid IC tag combining beacon positioning and GPS positioning

BLE Beacon GPS

• 1. A system that can detect the worker’s position in real time

wherever the worker is located indoors and outdoors

• 2. The detection result can be checked by operator on the

monitor of the operation room.

• 3. Workers wear as little as possible, and those with small

load.
