    摘要: A system (11, 50) and method is disclosed to be used for physically locating content (12) in a network (10). Further, a device is disclosed for use in the system and a computer program product enabling the disclosed method. The system comprises an input means (53) allowing a user to identify content (12) which is to be physically located, for example, via a computer or television user interface. A device (11) storing the content (12) is identified physically within the network. The device provides a signal (45) which the user is physically susceptible to, for example, a visual indication. The user is therefore assisted in the physical location of content that has been virtualised in the network. Such a system is especially useful when the device comprised within the network is a portable storage device that the user would like to quickly locate and take away.

    摘要: A system for determining the position of an object (8) in a space (10) defined by surfaces (11, 12) comprises at least a first transducer (1), a second transducer (2) and a processing device. The transducers are arranged at a mutual spacing (D). The processing device is arranged for determining the times of arrival of both acoustic signals transmitted between the object and each of the transducers (1, 2) and their reflections. On the basis of the difference in the times of arrival of clusters of acoustic signals and the associated reflections the processing device can determine which surface (11, 12) the indirect acoustic signals were reflected by, thus providing additional position information.

    摘要: A location system including a base station (120, 200) and a responder tag (140, 250) that communicate using an acoustic signal to determine the location of the tag in a bounded 3D space (100). The base station transmits a request signal (310) encoded with the identifier of a particular tag. The particular tag responds after a fixed delay (t2−t1) with an acoustic response signal (330). The base station determines the location of the tag based on the received line of sight signal (330) and its reflections (340). The response signal may be encoded with data indicating a status of the tag, or data from associated sensors (270) or actuators (280). The request signal may also be encoded with data for controlling the tag or the associated sensors and actuators. A power management scheme may be carried out by the tag.
