The method is suitable for Doppler frequency offset estimation of an ultrasonic transmitting unit, wherein the ultrasonic transmitting unit comprises a main transmitting module, a secondary transmitting module and a controller; wherein the main transmitting module comprises a main ultrasonic transmitter and a frequency calibration signal transmitter; the secondary transmitting module comprises at least three secondary ultrasonic transmitters; a primary ultrasound emitter arranged in the geometric center of the at least three secondary ultrasound emitters, a frequency calibration signal emitter arranged at the periphery of the primary ultrasound emitter; the main ultrasonic transmitter is used for transmitting a main ultrasonic positioning signal; the frequency calibration signal transmitter is used for transmitting a frequency calibration signal which is also an ultrasonic signal; the subsonic transmitter is used for transmitting subsonic positioning signals; the controller is used for controlling the main ultrasonic transmitter, the frequency calibration signal transmitter and the secondary ultrasonic transmitter to transmit simultaneously according to a preset frequency; the method comprises the following steps:
step 401: receiving a main ultrasonic positioning signal, a secondary ultrasonic positioning signal and a frequency calibration signal which are transmitted by the ultrasonic transmitting unit; wherein the primary and secondary ultrasonic positioning signals are modulated onto a first carrier wave having a first center frequency; modulating a frequency calibration signal onto a second carrier having a second center frequency, the second center frequency being greater than the first center frequency, the first carrier being non-overlapping with the second carrier, the frequency calibration signal being a narrowband signal;

For example, in the non-shadow area 41, the ultrasonic positioning signal transmitted by the ultrasonic transmitting unit 10 has the strongest signal, so that the intelligent terminal roaming into the non-shadow area 41 can be regarded as being served by the ultrasonic positioning signal of the ultrasonic transmitting unit 10 only; in the non-shadow area 42, the ultrasonic positioning signal transmitted by the ultrasonic transmitting unit 20 has the strongest signal, so that the intelligent terminal roaming to the non-shadow area 42 can be regarded as being served by the ultrasonic positioning signal of the ultrasonic transmitting unit 20 only; in the non-shadow area 43, the ultrasonic positioning signal transmitted by the ultrasonic transmitting unit 30 has the strongest signal, so that the intelligent terminal roaming to the non-shadow area 43 can be regarded as being served by the ultrasonic positioning signal of the ultrasonic transmitting unit 30 only; in the unshaded region 44, the ultrasound positioning signal transmitted by the ultrasound transmitting unit 40 has the strongest signal, and thus roams to the intelligent terminal in the unshaded region 44, and can be regarded as being served only by the ultrasound positioning signal of the ultrasound transmitting unit 40.
In the unshaded region 41, the unshaded region 42, the unshaded region 43, and the unshaded region 44, a first positioning strategy is performed in which the intensity of the ultrasonic positioning signal emitted by one ultrasonic emission unit is significantly stronger than that of the ultrasonic positioning signals emitted by the other ultrasonic emission units.
In the diagonally shaded areas 51, 52, 53 and 54, there are a plurality of stronger ultrasonic locating signals. In the square hatched area 60, there are a plurality of weak positioning signals mashed. In the diagonally shaded areas 51, 52, 53, 54 and 60, there is much disturbance, and the positioning effect is generally poor.

When the intelligent terminal roams into the networking environment of the ultrasonic emission unit, the intelligent terminal determines to adopt a first positioning strategy, a second positioning strategy or a third positioning strategy based on the intensity of the received ultrasonic positioning signal. Because the frequency calibration signal has better reference value and detection range than the primary ultrasonic positioning signal and the secondary ultrasonic positioning signal, the frequency calibration signal is preferably adopted as a signal basis for determining whether to adopt a first positioning strategy, a second positioning strategy or a third positioning strategy.
Assume that the sampling points of the frequency calibration signal are N, A f,1 、A f,2 、......、A f,k The amplitude of the frequency calibration signal collected for each sampling point represents the magnitude of the energy of the frequency calibration signal collected for each sampling point in dB.

The intelligent terminal calculates the average amplitude of the received frequency calibration signalAnd compared. When no j signal meets the judgment condition for any i signal, namely the intelligent terminal is in the non-shadow area 41, the non-shadow area 42, the non-shadow area 43 or the non-shadow area 44, the first positioning strategy is adopted; when only one pair of i and j meets the judging condition, the intelligent terminal is in the diagonal shadow area 51, the diagonal shadow area 52, the diagonal shadow area 53 and the diagonal shadow area 54, so that the second positioning strategy is adopted; when there are 3 j signals for any i signal that satisfy the above-mentioned area judgment condition, that is, the signal strengths are equivalent, the intelligent terminal is in the square hatched area 60, and thus it is determined that the third positioning strategy is adopted.
