INDOOR POSITIONING SYSTEM USING ULTRA-WIDEBAND COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240114315 titled 'INDOOR POSITIONING SYSTEM USING ULTRA-WIDEBAND COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for indoor navigation directions using ultra-wideband technology. The client device communicates with anchor devices to determine the distance between them and calculate the indoor location of the user. The client device then generates indoor navigation directions for the user to follow.

Original Abstract Submitted
to provide indoor navigation directions to a user, a client device receives () a request for indoor navigation directions, and communicates () an ultra-wideband (uwb) signal with at least one anchor device in an indoor positioning system having a predetermined location within the indoor positioning system. the client device determines () a distance between the client device and the at least one anchor device based on a round trip time associated with the uwb signal, and determines () an indoor location of the client device based on (i) the distance between the client device and the at least one anchor device and (ii) the predetermined location for the at least one anchor device. additionally, the client device generates () a set of indoor navigation directions for traversing the destination location, and provides () the indoor navigation directions via a user interface of the client device.
