Abstract
A system for triangulating a location of a wireless process automation transmitter for use by a smart glass device is provided. A wireless process automation transmitter transmits a join request signal, and a plurality of network receivers receive the join request signal and transmit time of arrival information to a network manager. The network manager uses the information, including network receiver information and corresponding location information, to triangulate a location of the wireless process automation transmitter. A smart glass device location is triangulated in a similar manner but may also use the wireless process automation transmitter to receive a join request signal and transmit time of arrival information to the network manager. With the location information of both devices, along with an orientation angle of the smart glass device, the network manager determines if the wireless process automation transmitter is in a field of view of the smart glass device.
