Ultrasound-based Indoor Localization
FY 2013-14
Summary
SPIELO International Canada ULC is a gaming company located in Moncton, NB. It has been an innovativeleader in the video lottery terminal (VLT) machine and systems market. Considering the fast development ofmobile devices such as tablets and smart phones, SPIELO is planning to launch a series of mobile gamestargeted at the customers in bars. Specifically, they are attempting to develop a series of games supposed to beinstalled on the mobile devices owned by a bar. Each customer of the bar uses one of the devices to play thegames as long as they are inside the bar. Before leaving the bar, the customer should return the device. When acustomer steps out of the bar with a bar-owned device, an alarm should be triggered to avoid device losses.Therefore, how to effectively determine whether a bar-owned device is inside the bar is key to the success ofthese games. In this project, we will devise an effective indoor localization method based on ultrasound. Theproposed method does not need extra tags and is expected to result in outstanding localization precision.
