Prior Publication US 2023/0359779 A1, Nov. 9, 2023
1. Apparatus for determining a position relative to a reference transceiver, the apparatus comprising:
a. an antenna configured to communicate with the reference transceiver;
b. a receiver in logical communication with the antenna;
c. a transmitter also in logical communication with the antenna;
d. a digital storage storing software executable upon demand; and
e. a processor in logical communication with the digital storage, the processor operative via execution of the software to cause the apparatus to:
i. with the receiver, receive a first digital communication from the reference transceiver, the first digital communication comprising data for determining a distance between the reference transceiver and the apparatus;
ii. referencing the first digital communication, generate the distance between the apparatus and the reference transceiver;
iii. with the transmitter, transmit a second digital communication to the reference transceiver, the second digital communication comprising data useful to determine a direction of the reference transceiver in relation to the apparatus;
iv. based upon the second digital communication, generate the direction of the reference transceiver in relation to the apparatus;
v. displaying a user interface on a visual display, the user interface comprising a symbol indicating the direction of the reference transceiver in relation to the apparatus; and
vi. displaying on the user interface the distance between the apparatus and the reference transceiver.
