7.1 ZoneType definition

7.1.1 Overview

The ZoneType defines an area, in which a local location is computed, e.g. via a RTLS or a proximity based system like RFID. For that reason, it might either have a set of GroundControlPoints defining the extent for RTLS or just a point and a radius for proximity based systems. It is formally defined in Table 15.

BrowsePath Description Attribute
ZoneIdA unique identifier of the zone (e.g. a GUID).
BuildingName of the building
FloorName of the floor
SiteName of the site
GroundControlPointsPoints defining the extent of the zone
PositionDescribes a point (i.e. a position) in 2 or 3 dimensions.
RadiusFor proximity-based systems. Describes the zone as a circular region with a given radius in meters around the position.
IncompleteConfigurationIndicates if the configuration is complete. FALSE if configuration is complete.
