Indoor Positioning System - Locating and Positioning

Locating and Positioning

In contrast to the common title suggesting that a position may be affected by a system, this assumption is not correct: Despite naming, most of the IPS do not position an object, but just detect location of an object, not including the detection of the orientation or direction of that object. All known indoor positioning systems (IPS) neither affects nor detects a direction nor offers the option to change the position. Also other various systems titled as e.g. local positioning system and so on do not offer other but detecting an object in a certain known fixed location, report a measured location or just report the presence of the object in such location.

Famous quotes containing the word positioning:

    Genius differs from talent not by the amount of original thoughts, but by making the latter fertile and by positioning them properly, in other words, by integrating everything into a whole, whereas talent produces only fragments, no matter how beautiful.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
