Localization Method for Locating at Least One Object Using Wave-Based Signals and Localization System

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention describes a localization method and system for determining the position of at least one object using wave-based signals. The system captures the wave field emitted by the object using one or more receivers with antennas. By processing the received signals and analyzing their spatial and/or temporal distribution, as well as their phase and amplitude characteristics, a neural network is used to accurately determine the object's position.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Precise indoor navigation and tracking of assets in warehouses or factories
• Locating people or objects inside buildings where GPS is not effective
• Robotic navigation in complex environments
• Smart home automation that tracks the position of inhabitants or devices
• Security systems that detect and localize potential intruders
• Healthcare applications for patient or medical equipment tracking within hospitals

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Increased localization accuracy, especially in challenging environments where traditional methods struggle
• Capable of real-time tracking using neural network-based signal analysis
• Works in environments where GPS signals are weak or unavailable (e.g., indoors)
• Can track multiple objects simultaneously
• Reduces hardware complexity by leveraging signal processing and artificial intelligence

Patent Abstract

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Ortungsverfahren zur Lokalisierung wenigstens eines Objekts unter Verwendung wellenbasierter Signale bei dem von dem Objekt ein Wellenfeld ausgeht und das von dem Objekt ausgehende Wellenfeld von einem oder mehreren Empfängern empfangen wird, in jedem Empfänger unter Verwendung einer oder mehrerer Empfangsantennen des oder der Empfänger, wenigstens ein Messsignal gebildet wird, das von der räumlichen und/oder zeitlichen Verteilung des Wellenfeldes abhängig ist und/oder dessen Phasen- und/oder Amplitudenverlauf durch die Signallaufzeit von dem Objekt zum jeweiligen Empfänger charakteristisch beeinflusst ist, wobei unter Verwendung eines künstlichen neuronalen Netzes und dem Messsignal eine Position des Objekts ermittelt wird.
