Estimating the term…
A positioning system for determining the location of a receiver relative to a transmitter. The system includes a transmitting coil having a known orientation with respect to the earth's coordinate system and configured to transmit a periodic signal during a positioning event, at least one receiver including a sensing unit for measuring the magnetic field vector produced by the transmitting coil and the orientation of the receiver with respect to the earth's coordinate system, and at least one computing unit configured to estimate a position and orientation of the receiver with respect to the transmitter's coordinate system using the measured magnetic field vector, the measured orientation with respect to the earth's coordinate system, and the known orientation of the transmitting coil with respect to the earth's coordinate system.
A positioning system, comprising:
The system according to claim 10, wherein the computing unit comprises at least one of a television, mobile phone, tablet computer, notebook computer, desktop computer, wearable device and a video gaming device.
The system according to claim 14, wherein the auxiliary signal portion includes at least one of coil identification information, coil orientation, transmitting signal frequency, transmitting coil size, and transmitting coil shape.
A method of determining a position of a receiver in relation to a transmitting coil, comprising:
