Methods for Generating a Layout of a Particular Environment Utilizing Antennas and a Mobile Device

A system for creating a location map using antennas in an ultra-wide band (UWB) network, the system including:

• a calibration module configured to determine a position of each of a plurality of stationary antennas positioned in a target environment relative to one another;
• a location module configured to obtain location measurements relative to a mobile device as it moves around the target environment;
• a map generating module configured to generate a location map using the location measurements, the location map illustrating a path traveled by the mobile device relative to the plurality of stationary antennas;
• and
• a visual display configured to display the location map including straight line segments corresponding to the path traveled by the mobile device.

A computer program product for creating a location map using antennas in an ultra-wide band (UWB) network, the computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied in the medium, the computer readable program code comprising:
• computer readable program code to determine a position of each of a plurality of stationary antennas positioned in a target environment relative to one another;
• computer readable program code configured to obtain location measurements relative to a mobile device as it moves around the target environment;
• computer readable program code configured to generate a location map using the location measurements, the location map illustrating a path traveled by the mobile device relative to the plurality of stationary antennas;
• and
• computer readable program code to display the location map including straight line segments corresponding to the path traveled by the mobile device.
