发明名称 SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING THE POSITION AND ORIENTATION OF A MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE IN A BEACON-BASED POSITIONING SYSTEM
摘要 An example of a technique for compensating for effects of Earth's magnetic field variations on a mobile device positioning system. A mobile device utilizes a compass to obtain an absolute heading when located relative to a visible light source. The mobile device obtains a heading correction value based on an identifier of the visible light source. An orientation of a map displayed on the mobile device is rotated based on the absolute heading and the heading correction value in order to provide an indication of a location of the mobile device properly oriented on the map.

主权项 1. A mobile device, comprising: an image sensor; a compass; a processor coupled to the image sensor and the compass; a user interface element comprising a display screen; a memory; and software in the memory to be run by the processor, wherein running of the software by the processor configures the mobile device to implement functions, including functions to: operate the image sensor to capture one or more images including at least one signal modulated within visible light, wherein: the visible light is transmitted from a plurality of visible light sources located within a space;any one signal is modulated within visible light transmitted by a respective one visible light source; andeach signal corresponds to a respective identity of a respective visible light source;process the one or more images to determine, based at least in part on the at least one signal, an estimated location of the mobile device within the space;operate the compass to capture a raw heading measurement;obtain a corrected heading estimate based at least in part on the raw heading measurement; andoperate the user interface element to display a map of the space, the displayed map including a depiction of the estimated location of the mobile device within the space and the displayed map being rotated, based on the corrected heading estimate, to be consistent with a physical orientation of a user of the mobile device within the space.
