Abstract
In general, a user-location device is configured to receive, from an audio-output device, an ultra-wideband (UWB) signal; determine, based on the UWB signal, a first relative location of the audio-output device; determine, based on a detected millimeter-wave (MMW) signal, a second relative location of one or more persons; determine, based on the first relative location and the second relative location, a relative orientation between the audio-output device and the one or more persons; and transmit, to the audio-output device, an indication of the relative orientation.
Claims20
A location device configured to:
- receive, from an audio-output device, an ultra-wideband (UWB) signal;
- determine, based on the UWB signal, a first relative location of the audio-output device;
- determine, based on a detected millimeter-wave (MMW) signal, a second relative location of one or more persons;
- determine, based on the first relative location and the second relative location, a relative orientation between the audio-output device and the one or more persons;
- and
- transmit, to the audio-output device, an indication of the relative orientation.
A system comprising a location device and an audio-output device,
- wherein the location device is configured to:
- receive, from the audio-output device, an ultra-wideband (UWB) signal;
- determine, based on the UWB signal, a first relative location of the audio-output device;
- determine, based on a detected millimeter-wave (MMW) signal, a second relative location of one or more persons;
- determine, based on the first relative location and the second relative location, a relative orientation between the audio-output device and the one or more persons;
- and
- transmit, to the audio-output device, an indication of the relative orientation.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by processing circuitry from an audio-output device, an ultra-wideband (UWB) signal;
- determining, by the processing circuitry based on the UWB signal, a first relative location of the audio-output device;
- determining, by the processing circuitry based on a detected millimeter-wave (MMW) signal, a second relative location of one or more persons;
- determining, by the processing circuitry based on the first relative location and the second relative location, a relative orientation between the audio-output device and the one or more persons;
- and
- transmitting, by the processing circuitry to the audio-output device, an indication of the relative orientation.
