摘要: In aspects of environment dead zone determination based on UWB ranging, a system includes ultra-wideband (UWB) radios associated with respective devices in an environment. An automation controller receives UWB ranging data from the UWB radios, and can monitor locations of the respective devices in the environment. The automation controller can detect a loss of coverage by a device connected in the environment, and determine a coverage dead zone within the environment at the location of the loss of coverage by the device based on the UWB ranging data. A computing device can implement the automation controller that receives the UWB ranging data from the UWB radios, and monitors the locations of the respective devices in the environment. The automation controller can detect the loss of coverage by the device, and determine the coverage dead zone within the environment at the location of the loss of coverage by the device.

摘要: A system and method for determining the location of a vehicle when GNSS signals are not available use triangulation between one or two radio transmitters and, respectively, two or one radio receivers mounted on the vehicle. The distance between each radio transmitter and/or each radio receiver can be determined according a phase difference between received radio signals. The radio signals can have the geographical location of the radio transmitter included therein. Utilizing the demodulated geographical location of each radio transmitter and the distance between the radio transmitter and each radio receiver, triangulation can be used to determine the geographical location of the vehicle.

摘要: A system and method are provided in accordance with the various aspects of the invention that enhance the information regarding a caller and a call location. Such calls are typically sent to a dispatcher that handles urgent or emergency calls. The information provided can be in the form of a message that is includes specifics about the call initiator and the nature of and/or reason for the call; a message that is converted to verbal form from text-to-speech; and/or the message may include location information, especially as it relates to representing a wireless device as a landline location based on nearby communication options, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth beacons.

摘要: In a position calculating method performed by a system including beacons, and a control device capable of communicating with the beacons: at least one of the plurality of beacons receives, from a terminal present in the radio wave reaching distance of the beacon, a first signal including terminal identification information identifying the terminal, measures the reception strength of the received signal, and transmits a second signal which includes the terminal identification information, the reception strength and beacon identification information identifying the beacon; and the control device receives the second signal from one of the plurality of beacons, and, on the basis of the position information of the beacon corresponding to the beacon identification information included in the second signal, and on the basis of the reception strength included in the second signal, calculates the position of the terminal corresponding to the terminal identification information included in the second signal.

摘要: The present invention relates generally to a real-time location system (RTLS) having tags, bridges, bay-level event sensors and a location engine. To determine which bay a tag is in, bay-level event sensors sense motion events in the bay, transmit the motion event reports to a location engine, and/or tags. Tags contain an accelerometer, to sense motion of the tags. A series of location-engine steps estimates the bay-level-location of the tags based on a combination of received signal-strength analysis, and a comparison of tag-motion status to the perceived motion events in a bay. The analysis of tag-motion status and motion-in-bay events produces a better estimate of bay-level location of the tag than a received-signal-strength estimate can produce alone.

摘要: A real-time location system (RTLS) uses transmitting and listening tags, bridges, and beacons. The fixed beacons broadcast BLE advertisements containing motion-status information about recent history of perceived motion in. a room as determined from a motion sensor in the beacon. The bridges forward the beacon's received advertisements to a location engine, which records timestamps of motion events seen by each beacon in each room. One or more tags then report their own motion status based on a tag-based accelerometer. The system utilizes a series of location-engine steps, to estimate the room-location of the tags based on a specific combination of RSSI analysis, and a comparison of tag-motion history to the perceived arid recorded motion-status in a room. This analysis of tag-motion history and motion-in-room status produces a better estimate of room-level location of the tag than can be estimated by simple proximity or multi-lateration using radio signal strengths.

摘要: Systems and methods to determine a location of a mobile device based on a radio frequency navigation system and an inertial navigation system, where the radio frequency navigation system is used to determine a location of the mobile device in reference to a map of radio frequency signals and the inertial navigation system is based on dead reckoning the position of the mobile device based on measurements from motion sensors and/or magnetic field sensors. The position determination results from the radio frequency navigation system and the inertial navigation system are combined to determine two successive locations. A heading of the user of the mobile device is computed based on weighted averages for the two successive locations.
