Abstract

In the problem of indoor localization, acoustic schemes exhibit their superiority over radio ways for lower propagation speed of sound in the air. Recent studies upon acoustic positioning and tracking proposed a couple of solutions at millimetre level. Enlightened by the outstanding work of relevant scholars, we propose an acoustic-based interactive system (AIS) for commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) smartphones, which senses users’ moving states and routes by estimating the Doppler effect of received ultra sound signals using off-the-shelf smartphones. The ultra sound stems from surrounding fixed speakers. We test the performance of AIS with commercial smartphones and speakers in two cases. In the results of our experiments, we can achieve \(1.1\%\) false positive rate and \(8.9\%\) false negative rate for trajectory identification.
