Method And System For Dynamically Tracking And Locating An Object

Abstract: The embodiments herein disclose a method and system for dynamically tracking and locating an object. A baggage is tracked dynamically and continuously by attaching a beacon sticker and the details of the beacon sticker are decoded and read by a mobile application on a plurality of computing devices connected to a server. The transit path of the baggage is tracked at each transit point and in case of any deviation from the transit path, the system immediately rectifies by enabling the baggage to get back on track.

Specification

Claims:1. A computer implemented method for dynamically tracking an entity moving between a plurality of destinations, the method comprising a processor implemented steps of:
tagging the entity with a digital label to enable identification of the entity by a server through a network of a computing device;
identifying a context based on a route to be taken by the entity and computing a plurality of actual paths of the entity by dynamically tracking the digital label and directing the entity to the plurality of actual paths;
tracking and locating the entity dynamically by a plurality of devices, wherein said plurality of devices receive tracking signals at periodic intervals from the digital label;
triggering a plurality of alerts by the server, at each of the above stages, to said plurality of devices, upon determining that said entity is deviating from the actual path to prevent the entity from being incorrectly transferred and transported;
transferring the entity to a smart Internet of Things (IoT) enabled enclosure, wherein said smart IoT enabled enclosure is destination bound and comprises a plurality of entities having a similar destination; and
transporting the entity within the smart IoT enabled enclosure to the destination by a plurality of transportation methods.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein said tagging includes registration of the plurality of entities with at least one identification parameter using at least one digital signal reading device connected with a hand-held device, further wherein said registration includes establishing a link between the digital signal reading device and the plurality of entities.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein said tracking and locating by the plurality of devices includes creating at least one time stamp, device stamp and one location stamp in a radius of a particular location by receiving a plurality of digital signals by a server.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 3, wherein the plurality of digital signals are consolidated by the server to capture exact locations of the plurality of entities.

5. The computer implemented method of claim 1, further comprising pre-defining a transit route and time intervals to reach said destination.

6. The computer implemented method of claim 1, further comprising dynamically analyzing an impact of the deviation and upon analysis a plurality of dynamic corrective actions are administered to revert to the pre-defined transit route.

7. The computer implemented method of claim 6, wherein upon analyzing said deviation a notification is sent to a device of the agent based on the proximity of an agent to the plurality of entities.

8. The computer implemented method as claimed in claim 6, wherein determination of said pre-defined transit route comprises analyzing at least one of historical data, time duration, a type of customer, a travel context, a type of transportation, an object type, passenger movement, transport movement, and transportation events and determining said pre-defined transit route based on the analysis.

9. The computer implemented method as claimed in claim 1, the method further comprising receiving an enriched signal, said enriched signal includes details of at least one of a current time, a current location, and a device ID.

10. The computer implemented method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said tracking and locating further comprises obtaining at least one of a static location and a movement path.

11. The computer implemented method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the server compares at least one of the pre-defined transit route and the actual path to analyze a deviation.

12. The computer implemented method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising creating a visualization of entity flow.

13. The computer implemented method as claimed in claim 1, wherein checking comprises checking for at least one of a check point, an object check, and a milestone threshold.

14. A computer implemented system for enabling a dynamic tracking of an entity moving between a plurality of destinations, said system comprising:
a tagging module configured to tag the entity with a digital label to enable identification of the entity by a server through a network of a computing device;
an assignment module configured to identify a context and compute a plurality of actual paths of the entity by dynamically tracking the digital label and directing the entity to the plurality of actual paths;
a path detection module configured to dynamically track and locate the entity by a plurality of devices, wherein said devices are configured to receive tracking signals at periodic intervals from the beacon sticker ;
an alert initiation module configured to trigger a plurality of alerts by the server, at each of the above stages, to said plurality of devices, wherein the alert initiation module is further configured to determine whether the entity is deviating from the destination to prevent the entity from being incorrectly transferred and transported;
a pick and position module configured to transfer the entity to a smart “Internet of Things (IoT) enabled enclosure, wherein said smart enclosure is configured to be destination bound and includes a plurality of entities similar to the entity; and
a transportation module configured to transport the entity within the smart enclosure to the destination by a plurality of transportation mediums.

15. The computer implemented system as claimed in claim 14, wherein said tagging module is further configured to register the plurality of entities with at least one identification parameter using at least one digital signal reading device connected with a hand-held device, further wherein said registration includes establishing a link between the digital signal reading device and the plurality of entities.

16. The computer implemented system as claimed in claim 14, wherein said path detection module tracks and locates using the plurality of devices by creating at least one time stamp, device stamp and one location stamp in a radius of a particular location and by receiving a plurality of digital signals from the server.

17. The computer implemented system as claimed in claim 14, wherein the plurality of digital signals are consolidated by the server configured to capture exact locations of the plurality of entities.

18. The computer implemented system as claimed in claim 14, wherein said path detection module is further configured to pre-define a transit route and time intervals to reach said destination.

19. The computer implemented system as claimed in claim 14, wherein the path detection module is further configured to assess an impact of the deviation and dynamically analyze the deviation.

20. The computer implemented system as claimed in claim 19, wherein upon analysis, a plurality of dynamic corrective actions are administered by the alert initiation module to revert to the pre-defined transit route.

21. The computer implemented system as claimed in claim 20, wherein the pick and place module is further configured to notify the plurality of dynamic corrective actions to an agent based on the proximity of the agent to the plurality of entities.

22. The computer implemented system as claimed in claim 18, wherein determination of pre-defined transit route by the path detection module is further configured to analyze at least one of historical data, time duration, a type of customer, a travel context, a type of transportation, an object type, passenger movement, transport movement, and transportation events.

23. The computer implemented system as claimed in claim 14, wherein said path detection module is further configured to obtain at least one of a static location and a movement path.

24. The computer implemented system as claimed in claim 14, wherein the server is configured to compare at least one of the pre-defined transit route and a current path to analyze a deviation.
