Abstract

A method for predicting a criteria of interest based upon tag location data, derived tag location data, statistical data or the like corresponding to an object. The method may include receiving an input that defines one or more objects and one or more criteria of interest. Further, the method may include accessing tag location data, derived tag location data or the like for the object. The method may also include generating a prediction for a criteria of interest for at least one of the one or more criteria of interest for at least one of the one or more objects, wherein the a prediction for a criteria of interest is generated based on at least one of tag location data, derived tag location data or the like for the one or more objects related to the one or more criteria of interest. An associated apparatus, computer program product and system are also provided.

Claims (51)

1 - 30 . (canceled)

31 . A method comprising:

receiving an input that defines one or more objects and one or more criteria of interest;

receiving tag location data or derived tag location data for the one or more objects measured during an event;

generating, using a processor, a prediction for a criteria of interest for at least one of the one or more criteria of interest for at least one of the one or more objects, wherein the prediction for a criteria of interest is generated based on at least one of tag location data or derived tag location data for the one or more objects related to the one or more criteria of interest; and

causing the predictive analytic data to at least one of be displayed on an interface or transmitted to a remote device.

32 . The method of claim 31 , further comprising:

aggregating historical statistical data; and

generating a model describing the aggregated historical statistical data, wherein the historical statistical data is usable to generate the prediction for a criteria of interest by comparing the historical statistical data to the statistical data.

33 . The method of claim 31 , wherein the predictive analytic data to at least one of be displayed on an interface or transmitted to a remote device in real time.

34 . (canceled)

35 . The method of claim 31 , further comprising:

combining the tag location data or derived tag location data for the one or more objects to generate aggregated data.

36 . The method of claim 33 , wherein the object data is generated at least in part based on tag data generated by a tag that is attachable to each of the one or more objects.

37 . The method of claim 36 wherein the tag comprises an ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter.

38 . The method of claim 37 wherein the UWB transmitter is configured to transmit a plurality of time differences of arrival (TDOA) timing pulses.

39 - 94 . (canceled)

95 . An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:

receive an input that defines one or more objects and one or more criteria of interest;

receive tag location data or derived tag location data for the one or more objects measured during an event;

generate a prediction for a criteria of interest for at least one of the one or more criteria of interest for at least one of the one or more objects, wherein the prediction for a criteria of interest is generated based on at least one of tag location data or derived tag location data for the one or more objects related to the one or more criteria of interest; and

cause the predictive analytic data to at least one of be displayed on an interface or transmitted to a remote device.

96 . The apparatus according to claim 95 , wherein the at least one memory including the computer program code is further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:

aggregate historical statistical data; and

generate a model describing the aggregated historical statistical data, wherein the historical statistical data is usable to generate the prediction for a criteria of interest by comparing the historical statistical data to the statistical data.

97 . The apparatus according to claim 95 , wherein the predictive analytic data to at least one of be displayed on an interface or transmitted to a remote device in real time.

98 . (canceled)

99 . The apparatus according to claim 95 , wherein the at least one memory including the computer program code is further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:

combine the tag location data or derived tag location data for the one or more objects to generate aggregated data.

100 . The apparatus according to claim 97 , wherein the object data is generated at least in part based on tag data generated by a tag that is attachable to each of the one or more objects.

101 . The apparatus according to claim 100 , wherein the tag comprises an ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter.

102 . The apparatus according to claim 101 , wherein the UWB transmitter is configured to transmit a plurality of time differences of arrival (TDOA) timing pulses.

103 - 158 . (canceled)

159 . A computer program product comprising:

at least one computer readable non-transitory memory medium having program code instructions stored thereon, the program code instructions which when executed by an apparatus cause the apparatus at least to:

receive an input that defines one or more objects and one or more criteria of interest;

receive tag location data or derived tag location data for the one or more objects measured during an event;

generate a prediction for a criteria of interest for at least one of the one or more criteria of interest for at least one of the one or more objects, wherein the prediction for a criteria of interest is generated based on at least one of tag location data or derived tag location data for the one or more objects related to the one or more criteria of interest; and

cause the predictive analytic data to at least one of be displayed on an interface or transmitted to a remote device.

160 . The computer program product of claim 159 , further comprising program code instructions which when executed by the apparatus further cause the apparatus at least to:

aggregate historical statistical data; and

generate a model describing the aggregated historical statistical data, wherein the historical statistical data is usable to generate the prediction for a criteria of interest by comparing the historical statistical data to the statistical data.

161 . The computer program product of claim 159 , wherein the predictive analytic data to at least one of be displayed on an interface or transmitted to a remote device in real time.

162 . (canceled)

163 . The computer program product of claim 159 , further comprising program code instructions which when executed by the apparatus further cause the apparatus at least to:

combine the tag location data or derived tag location data for the one or more objects to generate aggregated data.

164 . The computer program product of claim 161 , wherein the object data is generated at least in part based on tag data generated by a tag that is attachable to each of the one or more objects.

165 . The computer program product of claim 164 , wherein the tag comprises an ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter and wherein the UWB transmitter is configured to transmit a plurality of time differences of arrival (TDOA) timing pulses.

166 - 192 . (canceled)
