Patent attributes
Provided are mechanisms and processes for directional signal fencing for medical schedule management. According to various examples, a system is provided which comprises a first sensor module, which includes a directional transceiver configured to transmit a first wireless signal directed toward a location within a medical examination room such that the location is within a first coverage area. A second sensor module includes a directional transceiver configured to transmit a second wireless signal directed toward the location such that the location is within a second coverage area. The first and second coverage areas overlap at a signal overlap area, which surrounds the location. The first and second sensor modules connect to a device corresponding to a physician within the signal overlap area. The duration of the connection between the device and the sensor modules is used to track the presence of the physician in the medical examination room.
