Patent ID: 10001544

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for identifying an indoor environment location. The method includes an operation of obtaining a visibility map of an indoor environment. The visibility map may include a plurality of static markers in the indoor environment. The method can determine a direction of a first static marker with respect to magnetic north by an electronic device if the electronic device is located to point at the first static marker and can determine a direction of a second static marker with respect to magnetic north if the electronic device is disposed to point at the second static marker. The method can calculate an intersecting point based on the determined first static marker and second static marker and can identify a location of the electronic device in an indoor environment. The method may further include an operation of determining directions of objects (for example, first static marker and second static marker) in an indoor environment corresponding to a plurality of locations of the electronic device. Further, the method may include an operation of identifying a location of an object in an indoor environment by calculating an intersecting point of the determined directions of the objects.
