TECHNIQUES FOR RELATIVE LOCATION DETERMINATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240183972 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR RELATIVE LOCATION DETERMINATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for obtaining relative location information between a mobile device and multiple electronic devices in different peer-to-peer coordinate systems.
- The electronic device conducts ranging measurements with a first group of electronic devices to obtain ranging information for a first peer-to-peer coordinate system.
- The method generates a relative location for the mobile device in the first peer-to-peer coordinate system using the obtained ranging information.
- The device then conducts ranging measurements with a second group of electronic devices to obtain ranging information for a second peer-to-peer coordinate system.
- The first group of electronic devices is not within peer-to-peer communication range with the second group of electronic devices.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in indoor navigation systems, asset tracking, and location-based services.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of accurately determining the relative location of a mobile device in different peer-to-peer coordinate systems.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved location accuracy, enhanced peer-to-peer communication, and better coordination between multiple electronic devices.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include smart home systems, industrial automation, and logistics management.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of Bluetooth beacons for indoor positioning systems.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the method handle interference or signal degradation in crowded environments? 2. What are the limitations of the ranging measurements in terms of distance and accuracy?
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device can perform a process for conducting first ranging measurements with a first plurality of electronic devices to obtain first ranging information for a first peer-to-peer coordinate system, the first ranging information providing first relative location information between the mobile device and a first plurality of electronic devices. the method may include generating, using the first ranging information, a first relative location for the mobile device in the first peer-to-peer coordinate system. the device may conduct a second ranging measurements with a second plurality of electronic devices to obtain second ranging information for a second peer-to-peer coordinate system, the second ranging information providing second relative location information between the mobile device and a second plurality of electronic devices, where the first plurality of electronic devices are not within peer-to-peer communication range with the second plurality of electronic devices.
