ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING A COORDINATED OUTPUT USING WIRELESS LOCALIZATION OF MULTIPLE PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18073769 titled 'ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING A COORDINATED OUTPUT USING WIRELESS LOCALIZATION OF MULTIPLE PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Simplified Explanation
Device localization, such as ultra-wideband device localization, allows for coordinated outputs and inputs using multiple devices. This can involve providing partial outputs using multiple devices, adjusting an output based on a device's position relative to another device, and more. Each device in a set can contribute a partial output that combines with others to create a coordinated output.
- Device localization enables multiple devices to work together seamlessly.
- Outputs can be adjusted based on the position and orientation of devices.
- Each device can provide a partial output that contributes to a coordinated output.

Unanswered Questions
How does device localization technology impact battery life of devices?
Device localization technology may require additional power consumption for devices to constantly communicate their positions, potentially impacting battery life. Research on optimizing power usage in such systems is crucial for practical implementation.
What are the privacy implications of using device localization technology?
The use of device localization technology raises concerns about privacy, as it involves tracking the positions of devices. Implementing robust privacy measures and obtaining user consent are essential to address these concerns.
Original Abstract Submitted
Device localization (e.g., ultra-wideband device localization) may be used to provide coordinated outputs and/or receive coordinated inputs using multiple devices. Providing coordinated outputs may include providing partial outputs using multiple devices, modifying an output of a device based on its position and/or orientation relative to another device, and the like. In some cases, each device of a set of multiple devices may provide a partial output, which combines with partial outputs of the remaining devices to produce a coordinated output.
