Geolocated information is communicated to a user based upon a position of smart device in a building as determined by optical recognition of a first visual identifier, a second visual identifier and a third visual identifier. A distance determined from each of the visual identifiers, as well as a direction of interest indicated by a user. A user interface is generated for display on a Smart Device based upon the position of the Smart Device and direction of interest.

Inter-alia, a method is disclosed comprising: obtaining one or more first fallback objects indicative of a geographic area that is covered by one or more cells of a communication network; obtaining one or more pieces of cell information indicative of a number of positioning requests that a respective cell of the one or more cells has received; determining one or more second fallback objects out of the one or more fallback objects; determining for an area of the respective second fallback object in that the needed level of accuracy for determining a position is not achievable, one or more cells based at least partially on the one or more pieces of cell information; and outputting the determined one or more second fallback objects and/or the determined one or more cells for usage in a generation of a radio map. It is further disclosed an according apparatus, computer program and system.

A method, including recognizing an indicia pattern on an asset utilizing a mobile device based augmented reality vision system, prompting one of acceptance and disapproval of the indicia pattern on the asset, detecting a wireless signal from a wireless tracking device if the asset indicia pattern is accepted, pairing the asset and the wireless tracking device and prompting one of confirmation and refusal of the pairing.

A method and apparatus, a gateway, a terminal, an adjustment system, and a storage medium are provided. The method may be applied to a gateway. The gateway may determine position information of at least one terminal through at least three ultra-wide band modules. The at least one terminal may be within a network coverage range of a gateway. The gateway may include the at least three ultra-wide band modules. The gateway may adjust a lobe direction of an antenna based on the position information of the at least one terminal to achieve shaped beam coverage for each terminal.

A method includes obtaining a benchmark of an accuracy of at least one of a direct positioning technique or an indirect positioning technique for positioning of a mobile device. The method also includes, depending on the benchmark, selecting between positioning of the mobile device using the direct positioning technique and the indirect positioning technique.

The present disclosure provides an indoor positioning method and an electronic device. The method includes: determining a current state of an electronic device according to a current speed parameter of a sensor; if it is determined that the electronic device is currently in a motion state, turning on a Bluetooth positioning circuit in the electronic device; determining a current location of the electronic device according to positioning beacon information obtained by the Bluetooth positioning circuit.

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for uplink (UL) positioning of idle or inactive terminal device. In example embodiments, a location management functionality determines a configuration related to an uplink positioning reference signal for a terminal device in an idle or inactive state. The location management functionality indicates the configuration to a location measurement unit. Further, the location management functionality causes a base station to inform the terminal device of the configuration via a paging message to trigger uplink positioning of the terminal device based on the configuration while the terminal device is in the idle or inactive state, or to release the uplink positioning while the terminal device is in the idle or inactive state.

To effectively extend a time that passes until an operation is disabled.

There is provided a control device comprising: a control section configured to control wireless communication of a wireless communication section that conforms to predetermined communication standards, wherein the control section controls execution of distance measurement based on the wireless communication according to a voltage to be applied.

There is described a system for tracking beacon tags comprising a communication component and a processor. The communication component receives a beacon from a beacon tag and transmit an acknowledgment of the beacon. The processor identifies a tag characteristic associated with the beacon tag and generates a tag instruction based on the tag characteristic. The tag instruction includes a beaconing rate for the beacon tag, and the acknowledgment includes the tag instruction. There is also described a beacon tag for operating with a tracking system comprising a communication component and a processor. The communication component transmits a first beacon, receive an acknowledgment associated with the beacon, and transmit a second beacon from the beacon tag based on an adjusted beaconing rate. The processor identifies a tag instruction of the acknowledgment and adjusts the beaconing rate of the beacon tag based on the tag instruction.
