  • Patent number: 10437417
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for displaying a reception status of a beacon on an electronic map is provided. The electronic map is loaded and displayed. A location of the beacon located on the electronic map is determined to obtain a location data. A signal region corresponding to a signal intensity range of the beacon located on the electronic map is determined based on the location data. A line of sight (LOS) region and a non line of sight (NLOS) region of the beacon corresponding to an obstruction information on the electronic map are determined based on the location data. A cartographic drawing is executed and displayed on the electronic map based on the signal region, the LOS region and the NLOS region.

  • Patent number: 10225685
    Abstract: A method for assisting positioning and a movable electronic device thereof are provided. The method is adapted to the movable electronic device moving within a region. In the method, the region is divided into multiple sub-regions. When the movable electronic device enters a first sub-region among the sub-regions, at least one wireless signal emitted by at least one signal emitting source is received by the movable electronic device, so as to calculate first location information associated with the first sub-region according to the at least one wireless signal. Then, a reliability of the first sub-region is generated and recorded according to a signal reception condition of the at least one wireless signal.

  • Patent number: 9546875
    Abstract: An automatic identity recognition method used for a robot and a plurality of beacon devices is disclosed. The robot has a tag device. After the robot is started, the tag device enters into a discovery mode and broadcasts a blinking message externally. Each of the plurality of beacon devices respectively replies an initial message including its own anchor ID to the tag device if receiving the blinking message. After receiving the initial message, the tag device records the anchor ID of the initial message into a configuration list, and replies a control command to the beacon device who replies the initial message, so as to control the beacon device not to reply the initial message continually.

  • Patent number: 9442177
    Abstract: An indoor robot and a method for indoor robot positioning are provided in the disclosure. The indoor robot is capable of executing different positioning modes according to the number of the detected beacons for indoor robot positioning. When the number of the detected beacons is less than a positioning required number, the indoor robot moves a predetermined distance according to the detected beacons to obtain a plurality of sets of distance data, thereby positioning the location of the indoor robot.
