Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a system and method for controlling access to an external device such as a Wi-Fi system or an external speaker system.
  • Another problem is that the number of devices is increasing making it harder to select. Usually, it means selecting a specific device from a list of devices in a menu where sometimes the displayed device identifiers may be hard to understand for the users.
  • US10331166 it is described how two or more devices determine their relative positions and orientation based on ultrasound signals transmitted between the devices. With one speaker and two microphones on each device the positioning can be done in 2D like on a table surface. By adding more transduces the method can be generalized to work in 3D. Radio communication (Bluetooth or WiFi) can be used to add communication capacity between devices and to give additional possibilities for device synchronization. The solution does however not avoid unwanted connections in more complex situations involving a larger number of devices.
  • Bluetooth or WiFi can be used to add communication capacity between devices and to give additional possibilities for device synchronization. The solution does however not avoid unwanted connections in more complex situations involving a larger number of devices.
  • an audio system is described where different devices are able to determine relative positions and orientations.
  • EP3968295 describes a where two devices are capable of measuring the relative positioned between them.
  • WiFi or similar technologies may be used to initiate communication between the device.
  • the present invention is thus based on the realization that many devices have a at least one speaker for generating acoustic signals thus constituting a sound source in addition to the electromagnetic communication. Also, most mobile devices have at least one but usually more than two microphones in addition to transducers for electromagnetic communication.
  • Most speakers and acoustic transducers are capable of transmitting and receiving signals in the near ultrasonic range, just outside the audible range.
  • the wavelengths in the ultrasound domain is also relatively short and therefore two acoustic sensors positioned at a distance of a few millimeters can be configured to sense the differences in reception time, e.g. by the phase difference, between the two received signals. Therefore, using two transducers, the direction from the receiver to the source may be calculated. Based on the direction, the device may thus choose which of the stationary devices in an area it should connect to.
  • the present invention thus is configured to use the acoustic signal to measure the movement and to use this movement to initiate the communication when the direction of the movement is related to the direction toward the second device.
  • the present invention may involve the use of an Inertia measuring unit (IMU) and/or magnetometer (compass) on the devices, such as smartphones and tablets, in combination with movements of the devices can be used to:
  • IMU Inertia measuring unit
  • Cpass magnetometer
  • one of the devices has the role of being a primary device that wants to map the position of all the other devices (i.e. secondary devices) in its environment, while the other devices are unaware about the other devices around it.
  • An example of this can be that the smartphone (primary device) is used to control loT devices in its surroundings, and that it wants to know the distance and direction to the different loT devices.
  • all devices may want to know about all other devices and their relative positions. Examples of that can be meshes of sensors placed within an area such as a building. In this case the notion of a primary or secondary device is not necessary since all the devices are equal
  • the invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrating the invention by way of examples.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates the concept of the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the method performed according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 3 illustrates a case where a primary device, illustrated as a laptop, has identified the position of two mobile phones.
  • the system includes a first, stationary device 1 including an ultrasound transmitter 2 transmitting an acoustic signal 2a. It also includes a wireless communication unit such as WiFi, Bluetooth, etc as will be explained below.
  • stationary device is to be understood as a device that has a defined position or movement relative to the mobile device allowing the user to point the mobile device in the direction of the stationary device.
  • the portable device 3 in this case includes two microphones 4a, 4b capable of receiving the ultrasound signal.
  • the microphones are positioned at a distance C from each other and thus receives acoustic signals that have propagated over different propagation paths A,B.
  • Both microphones 4a, 4b are connected to a processor 5 which in a per se known way is adapted to compare the signals from the microphones.
  • the microphones 4a, 4b are positioned at the lower part of a mobile phone, and when the mobile phone is pointed in the direction of the first stationary device 1 the signals at the microphones 4a, 4b will have had the same propagation length and will therefore be in phase.
  • the device 3 may then decide that the first stationary device 1 is selected and can initiate a connection routine.
  • the connection routine may include a confirmation in the user interface, using the screen, by moving the mobile device in a predetermined way or by approaching the stationary device.
  • a second stationary device 11 is illustrated also including a speaker 12 emitting an ultrasonic signal, but in this case the propagation paths A',B' are different and thus the device will not be selected.
  • the mobile device combines the signals from one microphone and e.g. a WiFi receiver.
  • the acoustic signals may simply be a sine wave but is preferably an encoded or combined signal to avoid ambiguity in different directions or identifying devices configured to be accessible by the system. It may also be possible to measure time delay if the stationary device retransmits a signal emitted from the mobile device requesting a connection, but this may be more complicated than measuring the acoustic phase difference locally.
  • the acoustic sensors or microphones may also be combined with other sensors, such as providing inertia measurements using an IMU 6 for detecting movements 6a of the device 3 communicating the movements 6a to the processor 5 possibly detecting movements, patterns of movements, gestures which may be used to confirm the selection, e.g. by moving toward the selected stationary device, rotating the device 3 etc.
  • the detected movements may thus include both translational movements and rotational movements, e.g. detected by compass, gyro etc.
  • the wireless signal from the device must be identified, for example as mentioned above by moving toward the stationary device and monitoring the distance.
  • the wireless connection may for example be obtained if the acoustic signal from the stationary device is encoded with a code corresponding to the identity of the stationary device. The mobile device can then request access to the specific stationary device.
  • the ultrasound messages can include information about how to connect to the wireless network handled by the wireless access point.
  • the messages can include the SSID and corresponding password information enabling the recipients of the ultrasound message to connect to the wireless network seamlessly. Even though the information extracted from the ultrasound messages are not used for automatically connecting to the wireless network, these ultrasound message can be used to select the relevant wireless access point.
  • transmitting ultrasound from the cellular base station will enable the User Equipment (UE) to filter out all the CBS' outside the space or room where the UE currently resides.
  • UE User Equipment
  • the CBS can transmit ultrasound messages and the UE can receive them, the messages can be used by the UE to connect to the CBS in the same room, and not the CBS with for example the highest signal strength.
  • the ultrasound message may include additional information about the cellular network including cost, QoS parameters, etc that will allow the UE to make an informed decision whether it should connect via the CBS or not. It is also possible that the UE and CBS exchange multiple ultrasound messages.
  • the messages can be used to send secured messages between the devices to verify that the UE is allowed to connect to the CBS.
  • the messages can also be used to measure the distance between devices as described in Norwegian application NO20221247. Based on these distance measurements, the either UE or CBS may disallow the UE to connect to the cellular network via the CBS. There may be other conditions too that will control when or if the UE is allowed to connect to the CBS.
  • the stationary device mentioned above may in some cases be a device setting up an ad-hoc wireless network such as a laptop, tablet, Smartphone, etc, e.g. in a mesh network configured to connect other nearby devices in a seamless way.
  • WiFi direct where the WiFi direct group owner can transmit ultrasound messages to the nearby devices enabling the recipients of an ultrasound messages to connect to the wireless network seamlessly.
  • This allows a scenario where a group of people can set up an ad-hoc secured wireless network inside the meeting room they are located, e.g. providing a video conferencing system allowing others to connect and participate to the meeting, e.g. by screen sharing etc through a local or global network.
  • the transmission of ultrasound messages can be limited to periods when presence of someone (i.e. user) or something (e.g. robot, dog, cat etc) is detected by a presence detector unit of any available type. This scheme may reduce the overall message transmission and thereby the power consumption of the solution.
  • the stationary device may, as an alternative, be a video conferencing system allowing others to connect and participate to the meeting, e.g. by screen sharing etc through a local or global network. In this case it may also be convenient to be able to measure the relative position and orientation between the units, such as discussed in NO20221247.
  • it may improve the accuracy and robustness of the position estimates in general and saving power by sensor activation only upon movement.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a case where a primary unit 31 , such as an laptop or stationary device, has identified the position of two secondary units 33a, 33b such as mobile phones, through use of ultrasound signaling between the units. If any of the phones 33a, 33b are moved, it may be detected using IMU sensors 36a, 36b detecting movements, including rotational and translational movements, the positions should be updated quickly, so the positioning needs to be running continuously. If the user is working on the laptop her hands will occasionally block the ultrasound paths, and there can be large random errors in the estimates. However, continuous monitoring of the IMU (accelerometer and/or gyro) can tell that the phone has not been moved, and the positions should not be updated.

  • the phone reports a movement upward and the primary device finds that the two devices are getting closer with that movement the system also knows the relative orientation of the phone. If the movement is upwards relative to the phone reference frame and the primary device finds that this movement brings it closer, the system may interpret this as a gesture requesting access to the communication protocol of the primary device.
  • Other definitions may be linked to moving the phone sideways or rotating it relative to the primary device, such as disconnecting or providing input to the software of the primary device. More complex gestures may also be contemplated.
