Abstract:
A range-finding and/or object-positioning system comprises one or more target devices; one or more reference devices communicating with said one or more target devices via one or more wireless signal sets, each wireless signal set comprising at least a first-speed signal having a first transmission speed and a second-speed signal having a second transmission speed, and the first transmission speed being higher than the second transmission speed; and at least one processing unit performing actions for determining at least one distance between one target device and one reference device based on the time difference between the receiving time of the first-speed signal and the receiving time of the second-speed signal of the wireless signal set communicated between said reference and target devices.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus comprising:\n at least one communication component configured for transmitting or receiving at least one set of signals to or from at least one location, each of the at least one set of signals comprising at least a Radio Frequency (RF) signal and an acoustic signal, said acoustic signal comprising a first codeword; and at least one processing unit coupled to the at least one communication component and configured for, for each of the at least one location, determining a first time that the RF signal transmitted between the apparatus and the location is received; determining a second time of starting to receive the acoustic signal transmitted between the apparatus and the location; obtaining a received and processed signal of the acoustic signal transmitted between the apparatus and the location, the received and processed signal comprising the first codeword; determining a time offset based on the received and processed acoustic signal; determining a time difference as the summation of the second time and the time offset minus the first time; and determining the distance between the apparatus and the location based on the time difference.
