Abstract
A method and system for mapping an environment with acoustic signals, the method including: listening to the environment with an acoustic sensor; randomly selecting a frequency; generating an acoustic signal at the frequency; transmitting the generated acoustic signal; receiving, at the acoustic sensor, a feedback signal formed from the acoustic signal rebounding off an object in the environment; processing the feedback signal to determine a distance to the object; repeating the method to generate a map of the environment.
Claims14
A method for mapping an environment with acoustic signals, the method comprising:
- listening to the environment with an acoustic sensor;
- randomly selecting a frequency;
- generating an acoustic signal at said frequency;
- transmitting said generated acoustic signal;
- receiving, at said acoustic sensor, a feedback signal formed from said acoustic signal rebounding off an object in the environment;
- processing said feedback signal to determine a distance to said object and an object frequency that the object emits;
- repeating the method to generate a map of the environment;
- and
- selecting one communications technology medium from a group of available communications technology media, said selected communications technology medium communicating outside of the environment via said object identified through acoustic mapping based on the feedback signal, by converting the object into an antenna that transmits and receives via the selected communications technology medium.
