Abstract: A sonic ranging method for a mobile phone and a wireless earphone. Firstly, the mobile phone performs an acoustic response test on the wireless earphone. The mobile phone generates a first audio sequence at a first time slot. The wireless earphone recognizes the first audio sequence to generate a second audio sequence. When the mobile phone recognizes the second audio sequence, the mobile phone estimates a length of elapsed time according to the time difference between a current time slot and the first time slot. When the mobile phone obtains the length of elapsed time, a distance between the wireless earphone and the mobile phone may be determined according to a delay compensation parameter and the length of elapsed time. Various potential applications can be implemented based on the invention without the needs for additional hardware circuits in the mobile phone.

Abstract: Using scent fingerprints and sound fingerprints for location and proximity determinations can include detecting a movement of a user device relative to an environment, and determining if a fingerprint associated with the user device and the environment is available. The fingerprint can include a sound fingerprint, a scent fingerprint, and usage data defining resource usage of the user device at the environment, The fingerprint associated with the user device and the environment can be obtained with an instance of sensor data including a scent detected at the user device and a sound detected at the user device. Based on the instance of sensor data and the fingerprint associated with the user device and the environment, a location and proximity of the user device can be determined.

Abstract: A receiving apparatus (7) that can estimate a motion-induced frequency shift in a received signal comprises a processing system (205) and a receiver (204) configured to receive a signal comprising one or more instances of a transmitted signal. The processing system (205) is configured to generate data representative of a plurality of impulse response functions by deconvolving the received signal with each of a plurality of templates representative of the transmitted signal shifted in frequency by a different respective frequency shift. The processing system (205) is further configured to evaluate a signal-to-noise measure for each of the plurality of impulse response functions, and to identify an impulse response function of the plurality of impulse response functions for which the signal-to-noise measure satisfies a peak criterion.

Abstract: Systems and methods of estimating a location of a mobile computing device are provided. For instance, acoustic signals can be received from one or more transmitting devices associated with a real-time locating system. A set of peaks can be selected from the received acoustic signals. A first set of transmitter locations can be assigned to the selected set of peaks. The first set of transmitter locations can be specified by an acoustic model specifying a plurality of transmitter locations within an acoustic environment in which the one or more transmitting devices are located. A first model path trace associated with the first set of transmitter locations can be compared to the received acoustic signals. A location of the mobile computing device can be estimated based at least in part on the comparison.

Abstract: A method of determining a distance between a vehicle and a sound source includes detecting, at a microphone of the vehicle, sounds from a sound source external to the vehicle. The sounds have a first frequency component at a first frequency and a second frequency component at a second frequency. The method also includes determining, at a processor of the vehicle, a classification of the sound source based on audio properties of the sounds. The method further includes determining a first energy level associated with the first frequency component and a second energy level associated with the second frequency component. The method also includes determining a ratio between the first energy level and the second energy level. The method further includes determining the distance between the vehicle and the sound source based on the ratio and the classification of the sound source.
