Indoor Positioning via Distributed Label Arrays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing positioning technologies, such as GNSS and radio multipoint ranging, face limitations in indoor precision due to signal blockage and complexity, while camera-based systems have blind areas and difficulty in determining object positions.
Innovation Solution
A positioning system that lays labels with preset precision in an area, using RFID, magnetic stripe, or optical labels, where each label carries unique identification information, allowing for precise position determination through label reading and conversion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If GNSS or radio multipoint ranging is used for positioning, then positioning can be implemented, but positioning precision deteriorates due to signal blockage and system complexity in indoor environments
Solution Approach 1:
The positioning area is segmented into multiple zones with labels distributed throughout. Instead of using a complex centralized system, each label is an independent positioning element that can be individually read by the position acquisition device. This segmentation eliminates the need for complex synchronization and networking infrastructure while improving positioning precision through localized label reading.
2Measurement precision
If camera-based positioning is used, then positioning can be implemented, but positioning precision deteriorates due to blind areas and difficulty in determining object positions
Solution Approach 1:
Labels are introduced as intermediary elements between the position acquisition device and the positioning system. These labels carry identification information that directly indicates position, eliminating the need for complex image processing and object recognition. The labels serve as mediators that simplify position detection and eliminate blind areas associated with camera-based systems.
3Measurement precision
If labels are laid with preset positioning precision, then positioning precision is improved, but the quantity of labels and system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple functions are merged into the label system. The labels not only provide position identification but also serve as the positioning reference system itself. By combining the positioning infrastructure with simple identification labels, the system achieves high positioning precision without requiring a large quantity of separate components or complex networking infrastructure.

AI summary
Provided are a positioning method, apparatus and system, a layout method for a positioning system and a storage medium. A plurality of labels is laid with preset positioning precision in an area to be positioned, where each label among the plurality of labels carries label information, where the label information corresponds to position information of a position of the each label. A position acquisition device reads first label information on a label at a distance not greater than the preset positioning precision from the position acquisition device; and the position acquisition device determines first position information of the position acquisition device according to the first label information.
