Abstract

As the popularity of the smartphone becomes increase, indoor smartphone positioning technology has been actively studied. The acoustic signal generated from the smartphone is received from the several microphones at the relative positioning system, and the trigger signal is proposed to mitigate the multipath effect and the effect is verified. But for the simple trigger method, there would be error occurred according to the variation of the distance or surrounding noise. In this paper, in order to resolve the problems, the dynamic trigger threshold technology is proposed and its effect is verified by the experiment.

스마트폰의 이용이 크게 활성화됨에 따라 실내에서의 스마트폰의 위치 추정에 관한 연구 개발이 매우 활발하다. 스마트폰에서 발생된 음향 신호를 여러 개의 마이크로 수신하여 스마트폰의 상대 위치를 추정하는 연구가 진행되어 왔으며, 음향 신호의 전파 다중 경로 문제를 완화시키기 위한 트리거 신호가 제안되어 효과가 검증되었다. 그러나 단순한 트리거 방식의 경우 스마트폰과 측정 장치 사이의 거리 차이나, 주변 소음이 있는 경우에 오차가 발생하는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 동적 트리거 임계값 기술이 제안되었고 실험으로 검증되었다.
