A BLE location system and method are disclosed. The BLE system may provide accurate location of a BLE enabled object in a three dimensional space. The three dimensional space may be a building and the BLE system and method permits accurate location at a room, bay, and bed level in the three dimensional space to be determined. In some embodiments, the BLE system may determine if a BLE enabled object crosses a boundary and the boundary may be, for example, a boundary to a room, such as a door, a boundary to a space, such as a hallway or meeting area, or a boundary to a particular location identified by set of coordinates (X,Y or X,Y,Z for example). The determination of the boundary crossing of the BLE enabled object or the location of the BLE enabled object may be used for staff and patient locating and their associated workflows as well as high accuracy asset tracking in a hospital embodiment.

Bluetooth low energy location system and method

A system and method for rapid room entry are provided in which at least two Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacons may be used to determine when a BLE enabled object has crossed a boundary. The BLE enabled object may sense the signals from BLE beacon and a location engine may determine the crossing of the boundary based on the sensed signals from each BLE beacon. Each BLE beacon may have a directional antenna so that a portion of the signal having a strong strength is directed towards the boundary and a portion of the signal having a weaker strength is directed away from the boundary.
