There are three ways that yellowcog provide a "proximity" stream that can be logged or transmitted. Firstly, the Pilot devices collect data only from devices that are in range; for most sport (racing, yachting) this is enough of a measure of proximity. Secondly, a device can be configured to collect the serial number of devices that are near enough to provide data. Since each device has a unique serial number, and if the allocation of devices is known (e.g. each driver in a rally has their own wearable device) then not only is the dataset automatically assignable to each device (e.g. and therefore a driver) but also it provides a record of what (or who) was nearby. In situations where you want to know physically where someone is (say, on a yacht) then there is also a measure of signal strength which allows a relative indication of distance or proximity. Using one or more of these methods, datasets can be automatically annotated with user activity or the location of assets.
