  2. Project Overview ARV is a prototype of a robot intended to find a lost person and lead him or her back to a safe location : • GPS to track the lost person and the robot • Transmit location information using RF signals • PWM controlled DC motors to drive the vehicle • Ultrasonic range finders to find the distance to the nearest obstacle and avoid it

  3. Patent #1 • Systems and methods for using gps tracking data • United States Patent 20130015962 A1 • Filing Date: November 21, 2011 • Abstract: • GPS tracking unit secured to a person or assetthat’s uses a GPS tracking device. • When the asset/person moves out of an predetermined area, alert signal is sent.

  4. Patent #1: Literal Infringement

  5. Patent #2 • Robot having an obstacle detection unit and method of controlling the same • United States Patent 7602133 • Filing Date: October 13, 2009 • Abstract: • A robot that includes a navigation mechanism comprising of obstacle detection. • The robot includes a main body, a driving unit, an auxiliary body, and a control unit.  • The robot is driven so as to maintain a predetermined distance to the obstacle

  7. Patent #3 • Portable Tracking/ Location System, Method, And Application • United States Patent 2011/0187527 A1 • Filing Date: February 1, 2011 • Abstract: • A method to track any device like smartphoneequipped with RF communication link • A mechanism to transmit location information using RF like xbee(zigbee)

  8. Patent #3: Literal Infringement

  9. Actions Recommended • Patent #1 is about transmitting location information using a network communication device • Vague • Patent #2 is about using range finders to maintain a predetermined distance to an obstacle • ARV uses the range finders only to detect the existence of an obstacle • License the patent • Patent #3 is about using RF to transmit GPS data. • Use another RF module other than Xbee (eg.
