Abstract
A positioning system (100) for determining a location of an object is disclosed. The positioning device comprises a plurality of microphones (M1-M6) configured to receive a sound input (122) from a user (120), a localization module (102) configured to determine a user location of the user relative to the plurality of microphones based on differences between the sound input received at different microphones of the plurality of microphones, and a processor (104) configured to receive an identifier of the object, identify the object based on the identifier, determine the location of the object by setting the location of the object equal to the user location, and store the location of the object in a memory.
Claims16
A positioning system for determining a location of an object, the positioning system comprising:
- a plurality of microphones configured to receive a sound input generated by a user,
- a localization module configured to determine a user location of the user relative to the plurality of microphones based on differences between the sound input received at different microphones of the plurality of microphones, and
- a processor configured to receive an identifier of the object, identify the object based on the identifier, determine the location of the object by setting the location of the object equal to the user location, and store the location of the object in a memory.
A method for determining a location of an object, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a plurality of microphones, a sound input generated by a user,
- determining a user location of the user relative to the plurality of microphones based on differences between the sound input received at different microphones of the plurality of microphones,
- receiving an identifier of the object,
- identifying the object based on the identifier,
- determining the location of the object by setting the location of the object equal to the user location, and
- storing the location of the object in a memory.
