Mobile Geo-Localization System for Non-Static Environments

1 . A method for mapping a defined space using a plurality of transceiver devices, the method comprising the steps of:

initiating one of the plurality of transceiver devices to establish an infrastructure transceiver device;

distributing a portion of the plurality of transceiver devices to locations remote from the infrastructure transceiver device to create a plurality of secondary transceiver devices;

establishing communication between the infrastructure transceiver device and each of the plurality of secondary devices;

identifying the location of each of the plurality of secondary devices within the defined space to map the defined space; and

transmitting the location of each of the plurality of secondary transceiver devices to each of the other secondary transceiver device such that each of the plurality of secondary transceiver devices operates as a secondary infrastructure transceiver device, each capable of operating as a new infrastructure transceiver device when the infrastructure transceiver device is removed from the defined space.

2 . (canceled)

3 . A method as set forth in claim 1 wherein the step of initiating the infrastructure transceiver device includes the step of locating the infrastructure transceiver device.

4 . A method as set forth in claim 1 including the step of tracking a second portion of the plurality of transceiver devices as each moves through the defined space.

5 . A method as set forth in claim 4 including the step of timing the second portion of the plurality of transceiver devices out such that the second portion of the plurality of transceiver devices ceases functioning after a predetermined time after deployment.

6 . A method as set forth in claim 1 including the step of communicating with each of the plurality of secondary transceiver devices after a second predetermined time to determine whether any of the plurality of secondary transceiver devices has changed its location.

7 . A method as set forth in claim 6 including the step of relocating each of the plurality of secondary transceiver devices when it is determined that one of the plurality of secondary transceiver devices has changed its location.

8 . A method as set forth in claim 1 including the step of adhering a portion of the plurality of secondary transceiver devices to structures within the defined space.
