Abstract: A positioning system and method are provided to use multiple RFID readers to position a target object with an active RFID tag equipped thereon. The system and method defines a geometric center of the locations of the RFID readers as a first coordinate. When the RFID readers continuously receive RF signals of the active RFID tag, a corresponding signal intensity of each of the RF signals is calculated and compared to obtain an approaching vector corresponding to the location of the RFID reader with the greatest signal intensity of the RF signal. A positioned location of the target object is then approached from the first coordinate to a second coordinate according to the approaching vector. The first coordinate and the positioned location of the target object will be reset as the second coordinate. The reset first coordinate is output as the latest positioned location of the target object.

Abstract: A system and method is provided to track positions of a portable electronic device. Different communication modules capable of retrieving position signals are enabled selectively according to the status/type of position signals of the portable electronic device. All of the different communication modules are enabled when the portable electronic device locates around a boundary between different regions that require different communication modules to obtain geography information. Therefore, by means of seamless transferring operation between different communication modules, a remote manager may be able to continuously monitor the positions of the portable electronic device.
