Abstract

See full text

An ultrasonic location system for indoor environments, enabling the determination with high accuracy of the positions and orientations of objects to be tracked, wherein transmitting units (20, 22, 24) on the objects to be tracked transmit encoded ultrasonic pulses which are detected by receiver units (12 to 18) located by known positions around a room, and the receiver units are adapted to detect times-of-flight of the ultrasonic pulses in conjunction with decoding of the pulses to identify which time-of-flight applies to each transmitting unit.
