Abstract
Various embodiments relate to a method for positioning objects implemented in an object or in a server. The disclosure relates to a method for positioning objects, implemented in a first object in communication with at least one second object, comprising determining a position of said first object. The method can comprise determining the location of said first object relative to the magnetic north, and determining the height of said first object relative to at least one reference point. The method can comprise obtaining the relative position of said at least one second object relative to said first object.

A method for positioning objects, implemented in a first object having a hardware processor, the first object in communication with at least one second object, the first and second objects not being points with known geographical coordinates, the method comprising:
- determining a position of said first object via the hardware processor, determining the position comprising:
- determining a location of said first object relative to the magnetic north using at least a first sensor,
- determining a height of said first object relative to at least one reference point using at least a second sensor,
- obtaining the relative position of said at least one second object relative to said first object, without the use of fixed anchor points,
- wherein obtaining the relative position of said at least one second object relative to said first object comprises obtaining a distance between said first object and said at least one second object.
A method for positioning objects, implemented in a remote server having a hardware processor, the remote server in communication with a first object and at least one second object, the first and second objects not being points with known geographical coordinates, the method performed by the hardware processor and comprising:
- obtaining a position of said first object,
- obtaining a position of said at least one second object,
- determining a relative position of said at least one second object relative to said first object, without the use of fixed anchor points, using at least a sensor, the position of said respective first and second objects comprising:
- a location of said respective first and second objects relative to the magnetic north,
- a height of said respective first and second objects relative to at least one reference point,
- wherein determining the relative position of said at least one second object relative to said first object comprises obtaining a distance between said first object and said at least one second object.
A device comprising:
- a hardware processor configured to obtain a position of a first object comprising:
- a location of said first object relative to the magnetic north,
- a height of said first object relative to at least one reference point, and
- to obtain a relative position of at least one second object, in communication with the first object, relative to said first object, without the use of fixed anchor points,
- wherein the first and second objects not being points with known geographical coordinates and wherein obtaining the relative position of said at least one second object relative to said first object comprises obtaining a distance between said first object and said at least one second object.
A method for positioning objects, implemented in a first object having a hardware processor, the first object in communication with at least one second object, the first and second objects not being points with known geographical coordinates, the method comprising:
- determining a position of said first object via the hardware processor, determining the position comprising:
- determining a location of said first object relative to the magnetic north using at least a first sensor,
- determining a height of said first object relative to at least one reference point using at least a second sensor,
- obtaining the relative position of said at least one second object relative to said first object without the use of fixed anchor points,
- further comprising obtaining, by the first object, configuration or update information of said first object, and transmitting, step by step, said configuration or update information to a set of objects.
