A position detection system 1 identifies position information on the basis of a position signal received from a storage medium 30P disposed in a placement area where a target item is placed, identifies item information on the basis of an item signal received from a storage medium 30Q attached to the target item, and associates the position information with the item information and stores the associated information when the item signal is received during a period of time that starts from a time at which the position information is identified and that does not exceed a predetermined length of time.

Disclosed is a method for collecting a transportation fare using a mobile terminal. When the mobile terminal is adjacent to transportation means, a collection server issues a onetime boarding ticket which grants an authority to get on the transport means at a current location of the mobile terminal and transmits the onetime boarding ticket to the mobile terminal. A validator in the transportation means validates the onetime boarding ticket through short-range communication with the mobile terminal and transmits the validated result to the collection server. The collection server collects the transportation fare to the mobile terminal.

A corresponding apparatus, computer program and system are also provided.

The present invention relates to a device (2) for monitoring the transit of a user or of a land vehicle through a passage (or opening, or considerable area, hereinafter referred to cumulatively as “passage” for brevity's sake), comprising: a receiver-transmitter (5) of short-range radio signals configured to: transmit data indicative of a unique recognition code of the passage (ID_2); receive data indicative of a confirmation of receipt of a unique recognition code (ID_1) and indicative of an identifier of a user present inside the set cover angle (3); a processing unit (20) configured to: a) receive a first presence detecting signal (S1) having a value that is indicative of the presence of the user and of the vehicle inside the set cover angle (3) and generate, as a function of the value of the first presence detecting signal (S1), a second signal (S2) that carries data indicative of said unique recognition code (ID_1); b) calculate, with great precision, at set intervals of time (ti), the distance (di) and the angle (αi) with respect to a fixed directrix of said set orientation of the device; c) determine the trajectory (TRJ) of the user or vehicle approaching the passage on the basis of a time sequence of calculated distances (di) and angles (αi); d) if said trajectory (TRJ) is within the activation area (4) of the passage and approaches the passage, generate a command signal (S3) to open the passage and enable the user or the land vehicle to pass through.

The invention also relates to a system (1) for monitoring the transit of a user or of a land vehicle through a passage.

The present embodiments relate to a method and device for obtaining location information of a terminal by using a wireless communication system. Provided according to an embodiment is a device for acquiring the location information of a terminal, the device comprising at least one downlink signal receiver, at least one uplink signal receiver, and a controller for controlling the downlink signal receiver and uplink signal receiver, wherein the controller configures uplink resource assignment information on the basis of control information received by the downlink signal receiver and determines whether an uplink signal is received, on the basis of the uplink resource allocation information.

A method for detecting communication jamming attacks includes collecting, via a processor associated with a base station, local jamming information from a first vehicle and a second vehicle. The local jamming information having an attack time, an attack localization, and an attack frequency. The method further includes building a global jamming map comprising global jamming information, based on the local jamming information, determining, based on the global jamming map, a location of a communication jamming device, and causing to transmit global jamming information to a third vehicle. The global jamming information is associated with the location of the communication jamming device.

Disclosed herein are a method for access control using real-time positioning technology and a device using the same. According to a positioning method of a positioning module, the positioning module is configured to measure a location of at least one location-unrecognized device and a location of a terminal, wherein the at least one location-unrecognized device, the terminal and at least one location-recognized device is located in a certain zone, and wherein the positioning module has coordinate information of the at least one location-recognized device and the positioning module has not coordinate information of the at least one location-unrecognized device.

Embodiments described herein provide for system and methods to crowdsource the location of wireless devices and accessories that lack a connection to a wide area network.
