  • Publication number: 20190271761
    Abstract: A positioning system includes a radio frequency (RF) device, a microphone array, and a calculation device. The RF device is configured to transmit an RF signal to an external device for pairing with the external device. The microphone array is configured to receive an audio signal transmitted from the external device after the positioning system is paired with the external device. The calculation device is configured to calculate a direction from the positioning device to the external device based on a time interval of the audio signal received by the microphone array, and configured to calculate a distance between the positioning system and the external device based on the audio signal transmitted by the external device after pairing. The calculation device is configured to position a location of the external device according to the direction and the distance.
