A method, apparatus and computer readable storage medium are provided for determining the installation positions of radio devices. Signal propagation time parameters are obtained with each signal propagation time parameter associated with an installation position and an observation position. Each signal propagation time parameter represents a respective signal propagation time value of radio signal(s) traveling between the respective installation and observation positions. A signal propagation time parameter is selected for defining a coordinate system. First point coordinates are selected to represent the installation position associated with the selected signal propagation time parameter, and second point coordinates are selected to represent the observation position associated with the selected signal propagation time parameter. For each installation position represented by the first point coordinates, respective point coordinates are determined that represent the respective installation position at least partially based on the signal propagation time parameter and the first and second point coordinates.

A system and method for determining the presence of an individual at a particular spot within a location preferably based on the strength of signals received from beacons assigned to the particular spot by a software application (“App”) running on an electronic device of the individual. In one embodiment, certain presence calculations are performed by the App. In another embodiment, the App forwards information regarding the received beacon signals to an electronic identification and location tracking system and the presence calculations are performed by the system.

Systems and methods provide for improving the accuracy of a location system. The location system can capture partial phase vector data from one or more access points (APs). The location system can capture associated data associated with the partial phase vector data across multiple dimensions, such as identity data of the APs and client devices generating the partial phase vector data and frequency band data, location data, a time and date, and other data associated with the partial phase vector data. The location system can determine correlation data across the multiple dimensions using the first partial phase vector data and the associated data. The location system can a cause of the partial phase vector data based on the correlation data. The location system can perform one or more remediation actions based on the cause of the partial phase vector data.

A method for positioning a robot at start-up includes: when the robot is started up, controlling the robot to rotate in a preset rotation direction in a start-up positioning region; determining position information about a rotation path of the positioning transmitting unit according to the preset rotation direction and a set of at least three different position distances, where the at least three different position distances are between the positioning transmitting unit and the two positioning receiving units disposed at the different fixed positions and are determined during a rotation process; using a direction extending from the center position of the rotation path to a position of the positioning transmitting unit when the robot stops rotation as orientation information of the robot; and using the center position of the rotation path and the orientation information of the robot as start-up positioning information of the robot.

A personnel location and monitoring system enables on-scene commanders in austere environments to identify, location and manage personnel. The present invention establishes a localized network of geolocation-capable transceivers which can thereafter provide communication capabilities with specially-equipped users as they ingress and egress an austere environment. Each user is equipped with an Individual Geospatial Locational Unit which provides data via a datalink with one or more of the anchors, and ultimately with a base station. From such data and the datalink itself the location of the user as well as the user's biomedical condition can be ascertained. As confidence of the location of the user drops below a predetermined threshold and/or the biomedical condition of the user raises concern with respect to the user's well-being, the present invention modifies the communication and geolocation protocols to prioritize communication and data transfer with such a user.

Provided is a user equipment for controlling a drone. The user equipment analyzes an original video to control the drone to photograph a reproduction video giving a feeling identical to or similar to the original video. An electronic device may be connected to an artificial intelligence module, a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, a device related to 5G service, and the like.

Embodiments described herein provide for system and methods to enable the secure streaming of real-time location data between electronic devices. One embodiment provides for a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions to perform operations comprising creating record to specify a location streaming relationship between a first device registered with a first user account and a second device registered with a second online account, the record including a secret key. The record is stored to an online datastore and shared between the first user account and the second online account. The location data stream can be encrypted using the secret key stored in the record.

An auto-location method for electronic equipment items provided with a transmitter/receiver of radioelectric signals, includes the steps of: establishing a list of the equipment items with their relative position and the measurements of distances between the equipment items, detecting, using the list, at least one non-measured distance between a first equipment item and a second equipment item, the transmitter/receiver of which has a plurality of available operating modes, changing the operating mode of the transmitter/receiver of the second equipment item and attempting to measure the distance between the first equipment item and the second equipment item, and updating the list with the last distance measured. A system and a program implement this method.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, over a wireless communication network operating in accordance with a first radio access technology (RAT), a configuration to provide at least one positioning state information (PSI) report, the first RAT associated with at least one first positioning technology, the configuration associated with at least one second RAT, at least one second positioning technology, or both to be used to estimate a location of the UE, obtains at least a first set of positioning measurements using the at least one second RAT, the at least one second positioning technology, or both, and transmits the at least one PSI report on physical resources allocated for a physical uplink or sidelink channel of the first RAT, the at least one PSI report including at least the first set of positioning measurements.

A remote control system for a vehicle having an onboard vehicle controller for controlling vehicle functions and a mobile radio remote control, connected to the vehicle controller in a signal-transmitting manner, for remotely controlling the vehicle functions according to a location of the radio remote control relative to the vehicle. The vehicle controller and the radio remote control each have at least one antenna for wireless signal transmission between the vehicle controller and the radio remote control. The antenna of the radio remote control has a direction-dependent antenna characteristic. At least one spatial position of the antenna of the radio remote control can be determined automatically by a position sensor device of the radio remote control, and an automatic determination of a distance or spatial location of the radio remote control relative to the vehicle can be processed according to the determined spatial position of the antenna.
