Systems, methods, and apparatus for providing indoor navigation using magnetic sensors
Abstract:
An indoor navigational system determines a location of a moveable object in an indoor area and displays this location to a user. The system includes an absolute position sensor coupled to a case attached to a moveable object including a motion sensor coupled to a case including a first magnetic field sensor configured to detect a polarity of a magnet as the magnet passes in proximity to the first magnetic field sensor, a code wheel having two or more magnets alternately oriented with north and south polarities facing toward the first magnetic sensor, the code wheel positioned to rotate in unison with a wheel of the moveable object, and encoder circuitry configured to determine an amount of rotation of the wheel of the moveable object based on an output of the first magnetic field sensor.
