  • Patent number: 7595751
    Abstract: A crosslinked positioning method sets one of the intercommunicated positioning devices as a master and the remaining ones as slaves through a crosslink allocation. The method includes the steps of searching several devices at the same time, receiving IDs and comparing the IDs. The device with a higher ID is a master, and the other devices with a lower ID are slaves. The master and slaves perform a data link through a search mode, a call mode, a frequency hopping mode, a transmission power adjusting mode or a correction time mode. After the data link is accomplished, positioning data of the master and the slaves are displayed simultaneously on a screen.
