Abstract: The invention relates to the field of wireless positioning technology, and more particularly, to an indoor positioning method based on RSSI fingerprints. The method comprises: Step S1, upon detection of generating of a positioning signal by a device to be located, obtaining a received signal strength of each positioning gateway; Step S2, generating, according to the received signal strength and a prior probability, a global posterior probability of each fingerprint point; Step S3, outputting, according to the global posterior probability and location coordinates of the fingerprint point, a positioning result, and generating, according to the positioning result and the global posterior probability, a new prior probability corresponding to each fingerprint point, then returning to Step S1. The present invention has the following advantageous effects: positioning results are introduced during a continuous positioning process, as a result, the next prior probability for the same device to be located is generated. In doing so, fusion of historical data is achieved during the continuous positioning process, so that a previous positioning can be associated with the current positioning. The coordinate jump phenomenon occurred during an independent positioning process in the prior art is reduced, and the continuity of a positioning trajectory and the positioning stability are improved.

Filed: 2022-07-14
Abstract: A micro puree machine includes a mixing shaft coupled to a blade and rotatable by means of a gear. A magnet is coupled to the gear and a rotation sensor is mounted on the machine housing. As the mixing shaft descends into the pre-frozen ingredients, the rotation sensor detects a magnetic field of the magnet as the gear rotates and generates a rotation signal in response. A controller receives the rotation signal and determines a rotation count associated with the gear, causing the mixing shaft to ascend back toward the housing once a pre-selected rotation count has been reached. The pre-selected rotation count correlates with the partial processing of the ingredients.
