Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a processor configured to estimate positions of wireless devices communicating each other from a plurality of position candidates based on position candidate information indicating the position candidates of the wireless devices and communication information between the plurality of wireless devices located in any of the plurality of position candidates, and determine a first position among the position candidates according to a likelihood of the wireless devices estimated to be located in the position candidates.
Claims18
An electronic apparatus for estimating positions of a plurality of wireless devices from among a plurality of position candidates, the electronic apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- acquire a plurality of arrangements from the plurality of wireless devices and the plurality of position candidates based on position candidate information indicating the plurality of position candidates and communication information on communications between the plurality of wireless devices;
- and
- determine a position from among the plurality of position candidates as a first position, according to a likelihood of each of the plurality of wireless devices being located in each of the plurality of position candidates obtained from the plurality of arrangements.
An electronic system comprising:
- an electronic apparatus for estimating positions of a plurality of wireless devices from among a plurality of position candidates;
- and
- the wireless devices,
- wherein the electronic apparatus comprises a processor configured to:
- acquire a plurality of arrangements from the plurality of wireless devices and the plurality of position candidates based on position candidate information indicating the plurality of position candidates and communication information on communications between the plurality of wireless devices;
- and
- determine a position from among the plurality of position candidates as a first position, according to a likelihood of each of the plurality of wireless devices being located in each of the plurality of position candidates obtained from the plurality of arrangements.
A method for estimating positions of a plurality of wireless devices from among a plurality of position candidates, the method comprising:
- acquire a plurality of arrangements from the plurality of wireless devices and the plurality of position candidates based on position candidate information indicating the plurality of position candidates and communication information on communications between the plurality of wireless devices;
- and
- determining a position from among the plurality of position candidates as a first position, according to a likelihood of each of the plurality of wireless devices being located in each of the plurality of position candidates obtained from the plurality of arrangements.
An electronic apparatus comprising a processor configured to:
- estimate arrangements of wireless devices communicating with each other from among a plurality of position candidates in which the wireless devices are locatable, based on position candidate information indicating the position candidates of the wireless devices,
- determine a first position among the position candidates according to a likelihood of the wireless devices estimated to be located in the position candidates based on the arrangements,
- assume a first arrangement to an n-th arrangement (n is an integer equal to or greater than 2) for positions of the wireless devices from the position candidates based on the position candidate information and propagation data included in communication information between the wireless devices,
- count a number of wireless devices estimated to be arranged for each of the position candidates based on the first arrangement to the n-th arrangement,
- estimate positions of the wireless devices from among the position candidates based on the number of assumed arrangements and the number of counted wireless devices, and
- determine the likelihood based on the estimated positions of the wireless devices.
An electronic apparatus comprising a processor configured to:
- estimate arrangements of wireless devices communicating with each other from among a plurality of position candidates in which the wireless devices are locatable, based on position candidate information indicating the position candidates of the wireless devices,
- determine a first position among the position candidates according to a likelihood of the wireless devices estimated to be located in the position candidates based on the arrangements,
- group the wireless devices based on propagation data included in communication information between the wireless devices,
- assume a first arrangement to an n-th arrangement (n is an integer equal to or greater than 2) for positions of the wireless devices from the position candidates based on the position candidate information and the grouped wireless devices,
- calculate a correlation value for each of the groups based on the number of the assumed arrangements and a counted number of the wireless devices, and
- determine the likelihood based on the correlation value.
