    摘要: A method comprises using a first directional transceiver (14A) to determine a first angle (α1) between a first vector (V1) from the first directional transceiver to a second directional transceiver (14B) and a second vector (V2) from the first directional transceiver to a third directional transceiver (14C), using the second directional transceiver to determine a second angle (α2) between a third vector (V3) from the second directional transceiver to the first directional transceiver and a fourth vector (V4) from the second directional transceiver to the third directional transceiver, calculating a location, relative to a local coordinate system, of the third directional transceiver using the first and second angles and locations in the local coordinate system of the first and second directional transceivers, the local coordinate system being defined relative to the locations of the first, second, and third directional transceivers, and calculating an orientation relative to the local coordinate system of the first directional transceiver using directions of the first and second vectors relative to the first directional transceiver and the locations in the local coordinate system of the first, second and third directional transceivers.

    摘要: Apparatus (30) comprises a battery power supply, a radio-frequency transceiver, a multi-element antenna, and processor and memory. Software causes the apparatus (30): when in an idle mode, to broadcast positioning service advertisements and to refrain from broadcasting positioning packets, when in a positioning mode to broadcast positioning packets from each of the elements of the antenna (32A-C) such as to allow a mobile device (10) to determine a bearing to the mobile device (10) from the apparatus (30), and to transition from the idle mode to the positioning mode in response to receiving either a) a wake-up command or b) a positioning packet, from another apparatus including a multi-element antenna. The apparatus (30) may comprise a Bluetooth Low Energy transceiver; and software that causes the apparatus (30): to transmit advertisements for positioning services on a first channel; and to broadcast positioning packets on a second channel such as to allow a mobile device (10) to determine a bearing to the mobile device (10) from the apparatus (30), wherein the first and second channel are on different frequencies.
