DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] In this application, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. The terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or apparatus comprising the element.

[0017] The present invention can be used in a variety of general-purpose or special-purpose computing device environments or configurations, such as personal computers, server computers, handheld or portable devices, tablet devices, multi-processor devices, and distributed computing environments including any of the above.

[0018] An embodiment of the present invention provides a communication positioning device, the structural diagram of which is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a receiver 1, a signal transceiver 2, a positioning device 3, a direction identification device 4 and a processor 5.

[0019] The receiver 1 includes a plurality of speech output channels.

[0020] The positioning device 3 is used to communicate with the communication positioning device. The positioning device 3 can use GPS (Global Positioning System) or Beidou satellite positioning to locate the communication positioning device.

[0021] The direction identification device 4 is used to identify the direction of the communication positioning device.

[0022] The processor 5 is configured to, upon receiving a location signal from the first device via the signal transceiver 2, determine the positional information between the communication positioning device and the first device based on the first positioning coordinates and orientation of the communication positioning device and the second positioning coordinates in the location signal. Based on the positional information, the processor 5 controls the voice output channel of the receiver 1 to play target voice data associated with the positional information, which is stereo voice data used for position perception. The processor 5 may also transmit a positional signal carrying the first positioning coordinates to the second device via the signal transceiver 2. The second device may be a device with the same structure as the communication positioning device, i.e., multiple communication positioning devices may transmit positional signals to each other to achieve mutual positioning between the multiple communication positioning devices. The first device may be a device with the same structure as the communication positioning device, or another device capable of wirelessly communicating with the communication positioning device. For example, the communication positioning device may be a headset, and the first device may be a smartwatch. After locating itself, the smartwatch transmits a positional signal carrying the positioning coordinates to the headset. Alternatively, the communication positioning device and the first device may both be headsets, and the two headsets may wirelessly communicate with each other, with one headset transmitting a positional signal to the other headset for positioning.

[0023] The processor is a CPU (Central Processing Unit).

[0024] For example: Communication positioning device A sends a location signal to communication positioning device B. The positioning device in communication positioning device B locates itself, and the direction recognition device determines its own orientation. The processor determines the direction information between A and B based on its own positioning coordinates and orientation and the positioning coordinates related to communication positioning device A in the location signal, and plays the target voice data related to the orientation information through the receiver. The user wearing communication positioning device B can quickly determine the direction of the user of communication positioning device A through the three-dimensional target voice data. Similarly, communication positioning device B can also send location signals to other communication positioning devices (for example, communication positioning device C). Other communication positioning devices that receive the location signal sent by communication positioning device B also perform the above-mentioned operation process of communication positioning device B.

[0025] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The communication and positioning device of the present invention is a communication headset. Therefore, the communication and positioning device of the present invention includes a pair of receivers, which play target voice data. Because the target voice data is three-dimensional, the playback time and audio intensity of the voice data output by the two receivers differ when playing the target voice data. When a user wears the headset, they can determine the location of another device based on the three-dimensional voice data.

[0026] Optionally, the communication positioning device may also include a microphone (such as Figure 2 The microphone is used to collect voice data input by the user. The processor converts the voice data into a voice signal and transmits it to another device. The signal receiving device can also receive a voice signal from the same device at the same time as receiving the position signal. After obtaining the position information between the two devices based on the position signal, the processor outputs the voice data corresponding to the voice signal as the target voice data.

[0027] In one implementation scenario, if multiple people are performing a rescue mission outdoors, each user carries the communication positioning device. When one user needs to rendezvous with another user, the user requesting the rendezvous uses the communication positioning device A they are wearing to send a positioning request to the communication positioning device B worn by the other user. Upon receiving the request, B uses its positioning device to locate user B's current location and sends a location signal carrying the positioning coordinates to communication positioning device A via a signal transceiver. After issuing the request, A uses its positioning device and direction recognition device to locate and determine the orientation of communication positioning device A. After the signal transceiver in A receives the location signal of user B, the processor in A determines the direction between user A and user B based on the received location signal and the positioning coordinates and orientation obtained through its own positioning. It also generates stereo audio data that can sense the direction. User A can quickly reach user B's location via this stereo audio data.

[0028] It should be noted that the positioning coordinates obtained by the positioning device for positioning the communication positioning device are longitude and latitude coordinates.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the direction identification device 4 of the communication positioning device includes: a gyroscope 41, a magnetometer 42 and an accelerometer 43.

[0030] The gyroscope 41 is used to measure the angular velocity of the communication positioning device; the magnetometer 42 is used to measure the strength of the earth's magnetic field at the current position of the communication positioning device; and the accelerometer 43 is used to measure the acceleration of the communication positioning device.

[0031] Specifically, the gyroscope 41 measures angular velocity based on the Coriolis force or vibration, measuring the device's rotation rate around three axes and tracking the device's rotational motion. The three-axis angular velocity (rotation rate around the X, Y, and Z axes) is measured in radians per second (rad / s) or degrees per second. The magnetometer 42 determines the orientation of the communication and positioning device relative to the geomagnetic north pole by detecting the strength of the Earth's magnetic field. The accelerometer 43 measures acceleration based on inertial force. When the communication and positioning device worn by the user is stationary, its output includes a gravitational acceleration component, from which the tilt angle of the device can be inferred.

[0032] In the process of determining the orientation of the communication positioning device, the magnetometer 42 is mainly used. After determining the orientation relative to the geomagnetic north pole based on the earth's magnetic field strength measured by the magnetometer, a spatial rectangular coordinate system is constructed, in which the geomagnetic north pole is the X-axis, the direction of the earth's center is the Z-axis, and the east is the Y-axis. The initial orientation of the communication positioning device in the spatial rectangular coordinate system is determined based on the magnetic field component of the earth's magnetic field strength obtained by the magnetometer 42. The initial orientation in the spatial rectangular coordinate system is then corrected using the angular velocity of the gyroscope 41 and the acceleration of the accelerometer 43. Specifically, the initial orientation is determined in the XOZ plane of the spatial coordinate system (reference Figure 4 coordinate system on the left) and the YOZ plane (reference Figure 4 If the initial orientation deflects in the first and fourth quadrants of the XOZ plane, the orientation after deflection is determined to be positive. If the initial orientation deflects in the first and fourth quadrants of the YOZ plane, the orientation after deflection is determined to be positive. Conversely, if the initial orientation deflects in the second and third quadrants of the XOZ plane, or the initial orientation deflects in the second and third quadrants of the YOZ plane, the device may be malfunctioning and the Earth's magnetic field strength, angular velocity, and acceleration must be re-obtained to re-determine the orientation.

[0033] In one implementation scenario, reference Figure 5 After the magnetometer, gyroscope and accelerometer 43 in the device measure its own orientation, the forward direction of the device is taken as the 0° direction, and an angle of 360° is divided within the range of the device as the center. The relative distance and relative angle between the two devices are determined by the positioning coordinates of the device itself and the positioning coordinates of the other device. The relative position between the two devices can be determined by the relative angle.

[0034] In the communication positioning device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the spatial state of the communication positioning device is measured by the magnetometer 42, gyroscope 41 and accelerometer 43 in the direction identification device 4 to determine the spatial orientation of the communication positioning device. The angular velocity measured by the magnetometer 42 is used as the main spatial component, and the spatial orientation is corrected in combination with the acceleration component and the magnetic field component, thereby further improving the accuracy of identifying the direction of the device.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present invention, in addition to locating other devices, the communication positioning device can also request other devices to locate it. The specific method is to send a location signal carrying the first positioning coordinates of the communication positioning device through a signal transceiver. Among them, the signal transceiver 2 can be a signal antenna, and the signal antenna can be adjusted to set the signal receiving and transmitting range. Since the range in which the signal transceiver 2 can transmit signals is limited, when the processor 5 sends a signal through the signal transceiver, it determines the broadcast range according to the preset broadcast frequency, and sends a location signal carrying the first positioning coordinates to the second device within the broadcast range through the signal transceiver 2.

[0036] It should be noted that the processor 5 determines the range of the signal transmission according to the current setting state of the signal transceiver 2. The setting state is the broadcast frequency, and the range of the signal transmission is the broadcast range. For example, the signal antenna is adjusted to set the broadcast frequency.

[0037] In one embodiment, when the user of a communication positioning device needs to locate other communication positioning devices, a positioning request signal can be sent through the signal transceiver 2. After receiving the positioning request signal, the other device feeds back a position signal carrying the positioning coordinates through the signal transceiver 2 of the device.

[0038] In another embodiment, when the communication positioning device requires other devices to locate the communication positioning device, the position signal of the communication positioning device can also be directly sent to all devices within the broadcast range through the signal transceiver 2.

[0039] Therefore, the communication positioning device of the present invention may further include an operating component, wherein the processor 5 transmits a location signal carrying the first location coordinates to the second device via a signal transceiver. Specifically, upon receiving a positioning operation performed by the user via the operating component, the processor 5 determines the second device to be communicated with and positioned by the communication positioning device based on the operation information of the positioning operation; and transmits a location signal carrying the first location coordinates to the second device via the signal transceiver. The operation information includes the device code of the second device, the signal broadcast range, and the signal transceiver method, etc., input by the user via the operating component when the user operates the operating component.

[0040] The operating component may be a component composed of a plurality of operating buttons or operating switches. By operating the operating component, the user may send a location signal of the communication positioning device to a designated device.

[0041] The multiple operation buttons on the communication positioning device can be used to specify the device that communicates with the communication positioning device. For example, each operation button is numbered from 0 to 9, and the user inputs the device number of the device to be communicated through the operation button. The processor 5 sends a positioning request signal or position signal to the device corresponding to the device number through the signal transceiver 2 based on the input device number.

[0042] The multiple operation buttons on the communication positioning device can be used to specify the signal broadcast range for receiving the position signal, so as to send the position signal to each device within the broadcast range.

[0043] The multiple operation buttons or operation switches on the communication positioning device can be used to set the signal transmission and reception mode. For example, when the operation component is an operation switch, the switch state of the operation switch can be used to determine whether to receive a signal.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the positioning coordinates and orientation of a communication positioning device, the orientation of the communication positioning device is used as the positive direction and combined with the second positioning coordinates in the location information of the first device to determine the orientation information between the communication positioning device and the first device. This orientation information includes the distance and relative angle between the communication positioning device and the first device. The structure of the first device may also include a receiver 1, a signal transceiver 2, a positioning device 3, a direction identification device 4, and a processor 5. The second positioning coordinates are the longitude and latitude coordinates obtained by the positioning device within the first device to locate the first device.

[0045] The processor 5 determines the orientation information between the communication positioning device and the first device, specifically the distance and relative angle between the communication positioning device and the first device. The distance between the communication positioning device and the first device is determined based on the first positioning coordinates and the second positioning coordinates; and the relative angle between the communication positioning device and the first device is determined based on the first positioning coordinates, the second positioning coordinates, and the orientation.

[0046] Because the first and second positioning coordinates are both longitude and latitude coordinates, not plane coordinates, the distance and relative angle between the communication positioning device and the first device can be obtained by simply converting the longitude and latitude coordinates into radians and calculating the distance between the two points. Specifically, the first and second positioning coordinates are converted into first and second radian coordinates, respectively. The distance between the communication positioning device and the first device is calculated based on the longitude and latitude in the first and second radian coordinates. The relative angle between the communication positioning device and the first device is determined based on the first and second radian coordinates and their orientation.

[0047] The relative angle between the communication positioning device and the first device requires calculating the azimuth between the two. Since the azimuth is calculated based on the true north direction of the communication positioning device, but there may be a deviation between the communication positioning device and the true north direction, the angle between the communication positioning device and the true north direction needs to be used as an offset. The relative angle between the communication positioning device and the first device can be obtained by subtracting the offset from the azimuth. Here, based on the longitude arc in the first arc coordinate and the longitude arc in the second arc coordinate, the longitude arc difference between the two arc coordinates is calculated. The azimuth is calculated based on the longitude arc difference, the latitude arc in the first arc coordinate, and the latitude arc in the second arc coordinate. Based on the orientation of the communication positioning device, the angle (offset angle) between the device and the true north direction is determined. The relative angle between the two devices can be obtained by subtracting the offset angle from the azimuth.

[0048] Specifically, the first positioning coordinates and the second positioning coordinates Convert to first arc coordinates and the second arc coordinate The conversion formula is as follows:

[0049]

[0050] After converting the longitude and latitude to radians, calculate the difference in longitude radians between the two coordinates. ,in, is the longitude in radians in the second radian coordinate of the first device, The arc of longitude in the first arc coordinate of the communication positioning device.

[0051] The calculation formula for azimuth is:

[0052]

[0053] in, is the latitude in radians of the second radian coordinate of the first device, is the latitude radian in the first arc coordinate of the communication positioning device. Since the various parameters used in the calculation process of the azimuth angle are in radians, they need to be converted into angles. The specific conversion formula is:

[0054] Among them, if ,but .

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the relative angle of the first device relative to the communication positioning device, in order to allow the user of the communication positioning device to more clearly feel the spatial position relationship between the user of the first device, the processor controls the receiver to output stereo target voice data according to the relative position.

[0056] In the present invention, the communication positioning device and the first device are both communication headsets, so the various voice output channels of the receiver 1 that outputs stereo target voice data include a left channel and a right channel. After the processor calculates the relative angle between the two devices, it sets the audio playback time difference and audio intensity difference between the left channel and the right channel based on the relative angle. Among them, the sound source of 1000Hz and 1 meter distance is used as the standard for audio signal strength difference and time difference, and the audio intensity difference is set on the basis of the basic audio intensity. The user can clearly feel the difference in audio intensity between the left and right channels. The closer the relative angle between the communication positioning device and the first device is to 90°, the greater the audio playback time difference and audio intensity difference. Taking the case where the first device is located on the right side of the communication positioning device as an example, the settings of the audio playback time difference and audio intensity difference of the left and right channels are shown in Tables 1 and 2: Table 1

[0057] Table 2

[0058] Based on the above information, stereo voice data is established. For example, when the device is facing forward (with 0° as the reference, and the range of 7° to the left and right is the same as the forward direction), the left and right channels of the headset output voice data with no time difference and no audio intensity difference. When the device is facing 15° to the right (with 15° to the right as the reference, and the range of 7° to the left and right is the same as the right direction), the voice data output by the right channel of the headset is 0.152ms earlier than the left channel, and the audio intensity of the right channel is 1.42dB higher than that of the left channel. When the device is facing the right (with 90° to the right as the reference, and the range of 7° to the left and right is the same as the right direction), the voice data output by the right channel of the headset is 0.583ms earlier than the left channel, and the audio intensity of the right channel is 5.50dB higher than that of the left ear. Similarly, due to the symmetry between the left and right sides, if the left channel outputs voice data earlier than the right channel, the sound intensity of the left channel is greater than that of the right channel. If the first device is located to the left of the communication positioning device, the numerical settings of the time difference and intensity difference are consistent with those in Tables 1 and 2 above, and will not be repeated here. When the audio intensities of the left and right channels are set based on the audio intensity difference, the base audio intensity is used as the highest audio intensity between the left and right channels. For example, based on the relative angle, if the processor 5 determines that the first device is to the right of the communication positioning device, the audio intensity of the right channel is the base audio intensity, and the audio intensity of the left channel is the base audio intensity minus the audio intensity difference.

[0059] It should also be noted that when the left and right channels of the receiver 1 are outputting stereo audio data, due to the audio intensity and time difference, if the communication positioning device is fixed in the same position and orientation, the user can initially only determine whether the first device is located to the left or right of the communication positioning device, and cannot promptly determine whether it is located in front of or behind the device. In this case, the user needs to rotate the communication positioning device, thereby changing the relative angle between the two devices. This will also change the audio playback time difference and audio intensity difference. Based on the strength of the changed time difference and intensity difference, the user can further determine the specific location of the first device. Therefore, when controlling the receiver to output target audio data, the processor 5 updates the orientation of the communication positioning device and the first positioning coordinates in real time. Based on the updated orientation and first positioning coordinates, it also updates the distance and relative angle between the communication positioning device and the first device, and further updates the basic audio intensity, audio playback time difference, and audio intensity difference.

[0060] When controlling receiver 1 to output target voice data related to positional information, the communication positioning device first needs to obtain initial voice data and, based on this initial voice data, adjust the audio playback time and intensity differences between the left and right channels. This initial voice data can be machine-generated voice data by processor 5 based on the positional information. For example, if devices A and B are at a relative angle of 20°, the initial voice data generated by the processor in device A might be "Device B is 20° to your right."

[0061] In addition, the initial voice data may also be voice data input by a user of the first device and sent by the first device while the first device sends a location signal to the communication positioning device. The signal transceiver may also receive and send voice signals.

[0062] Based on the communication positioning device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the orientation between devices can be confirmed by using orientation recognition technologies and positioning technologies such as magnetometers, gyroscopes and accelerometers, and then the relative orientation information can be expressed in stereo through an algorithm. This can facilitate users to obtain the relative position and distance of the communicators in stereo while using the device.

[0063] The stereo positioning communication method enables communication personnel to obtain the relative position information of the other party based on stereo, facilitates the direction perception between communication personnel, and enhances the response speed to emergency events. It is very suitable for outdoor search and rescue and outdoor work personnel.
