Orientation Determination of a Wireless Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053426 titled 'Orientation Determination of a Wireless Device

Simplified Explanation

  • Mechanisms for orientation determination of a wireless device with respect to a first coordinate system are provided.
  • A method is performed by a control unit, involving obtaining angular measurements of the wireless device and the access node.
  • The first access node is oriented in the first coordinate system, while the wireless device is oriented in a second coordinate system.
  • By aligning the angular measurements, the amount of rotation of the second coordinate system with respect to the first coordinate system is determined.
  • The orientation of the wireless device with respect to the first coordinate system is defined by the amount of rotation.

Potential Applications

  • Indoor navigation systems
  • Augmented reality applications
  • Robotics and automation systems

Problems Solved

  • Accurate orientation determination of wireless devices
  • Improved location-based services
  • Enhanced user experience in virtual environments

Benefits

  • Precise positioning of wireless devices
  • Increased accuracy in location tracking
  • Enhanced functionality in various applications


Original Abstract Submitted

there is provided mechanisms for orientation determination of a wireless device with respect to a first coordinate system. a method is performed by a control unit. the method comprises obtaining first angular measurements of the wireless device at a first access node and second angular measurements of the first access node at the wireless device. the first access node is oriented in the first coordinate system. the wireless device is oriented in a second coordinate system. the method comprises determining, by aligning the second angular measurements with the first angular measurements, an amount of rotation of the second coordinate system with respect to the first coordinate system. the orientation of the wireless device with respect to the first coordinate system is defined by the amount of the rotation.
