SPATIAL INFORMATION DETECTING SYSTEM, ITS DETECTING METHOD, AND SPATIAL INFORMATION DETECTING DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a spatial information detecting system that can conduct continuous measurement using an alternating magnetic field, and that has a high degree of freedom of frequency settings and a simple configuration. A magnetic sensor driving unit (23) drives a magnetic sensor (21) via a multiplexer unit (22). Signals of the magnetic sensor are converted from analog signals to digital signals, and are transmitted from a data transmitting unit (26) to an arithmetic unit (3) as magnetic data. A Fourier transform unit (32) calculates the amplitudes and phases of a plurality of frequency components of individual axes from the output signal of the magnetic data receiving unit (31). A magnetic field vector calculating unit (33) calculates signs of the amplitudes of the individual axes from phase relationships between the plurality of frequency components on the individual axes from the output signal from the Fourier transform unit (32), and calculates the magnetic field vector representing the direction and magnitude of the magnetic field from the signs and amplitudes. A direction calculating unit (34) calculates the direction of the information terminal (2).
