INDOOR POSITIONING SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an indoor positioning system and positioning method for identifying an orientation and a travel direction of a person/object to perform accurate position detection without inertial navigation errors.SOLUTION: A system comprises: magnets disposed on a doorway to create a unique magnetic field; a wireless communication unit comprising a magnetometer sensor to sense perturbations in the unique magnetic field when something is passing through the doorway and to generate corresponding signals; a processor receiving the signals and extracting data; and a backend server wirelessly communicating with the wireless communication unit, the backend server processing a data sample to identify the doorway and detect the position of the person/object.
